Carey, Charles Henry. "History of Oregon." Vol. 2. Chicago-Portland: Pioneer Historical Pub. Co., 1922. p. 752. J. P. SCHADE J. P. Schade spent the greater part of his life in Portland, where during his later years he owned and conducted a jewelry store. He was but fifty-five years of age at the time of his death, his birth having occurred in Westbaum, Germany, October 19, 1861, his parents being Joseph L. and Anna M. Schade, who on coming to America made their way across the continent and settled on the east side in Portland, where the father purchased three lots that are still owned and occupied by the family. J. P. Schade was a young lad when brought to this city and here acquired a public school education, after which he learned the watchmaker's trade. He was ambitious to engage in business on his own account and eventually purchased the jewelry store of J. B. Miller, which he conducted to the time of his death. There were no unusual nor spectacular phases in his life record, which was that of a capable and successful merchant. His fidelity to the principles of honorable manhood and citizenship made him one of the substantial residents of his adopted city. In 1887 Mr. Schade was married to Miss Anna K. Weick, a daughter of William and Rachel Weick, both of whom were natives of Germany. On coming to America they settled in Illinois and some time afterward removed to Portland. To Mr. and Mrs. Schade were born three children, Lawrence J.; Ida A., the wife of Raymond J. Hinkle; and Frances C., the wife of Charles English, who is now acting as manager of the jewelry store owned by Mrs. Schade. In his religious faith Mr. Schacle was a Catholic and died in that belief February 23, 1916. He belonged to the Catholic order of Foresters, the Modern Woodmen of America, the Woodmen of the World and the Einfrat Society. In politics he maintained a liberal course, casting his ballot according to the dictates of his judgment, nor did he ever seek or desire public office. His interests centered in his business that he might provide a comfortable living for his family. Those who came in contact with him recognized his worth and he enjoyed an enviable reputation as a progressive and reliable business man. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
