First Settlers - Nikolaus SCHREIBER (abt 1803-1852)
Draft -
Daughter Anna Mary was born about 1843 in Hesse Darmstandt Germany, she came to the US in 1848 with parents Nikolaus and Katarina, and siblings Frederick, Johann, and Anna Marie. Nikolaus immediately purchased 40 acres of land and settled in Ridgeville, IL (now called Rogers Park in Chicago). Nikolaus was tragically killed in an accident eight months before the birth of his twin sons Michael and Dominick in 1852. The Schreiber family was an original/prominent settler to the area and a street was named after the family that still exists in the city of Chicago. The parish of St Henry's on Ridge and Devon has their cemetery on the land that the Schreiber family gave to the church.

NICHOLAS SCHREIBER
Nicholas Schreiber. for whom Schreiber Avenue was named, (see if we can identify what year the street was named to see who was it really named after) purchased a 4O-acre farm in 1849 joining the growing Luxembourg colony along the "Ridge." The family established a large and profitable truck farm supplying produce to the Chicago market.
As with all Luxembourg farmers, a well-stocked greenhouse was an important adjunct to the farm. One day it would become perhaps the most important sector of the family's operations. Nicholas died four years after the purchase of the farm, leaving the operation to his widow and their oldest son. Shortly after the death of the elder Schreiber, twin sons were born to the widow. The twins, Michael and Dominick, as soon as they were old enough to do so, aided their brother about the farm when not attending St. Henry's Parochial School. At maturity the twins took over full operation of the farm.
