In addition to his widow, he is survived by seven sons and a daughter; Emil of Cary and Edwin, Alvin, Raymond, Gordon and Howard, all of Crystal Lake, Miss Esther Schwemm and Leslie Schwemm, residing on the farm; two sisters, Mrs. Minnie Schnetlage of Barrington and Mrs. Ida Lyons of Chicago and Five grandchildren. A daughter, Loida Schwemm and a son, LeRoy, and four brothers preceded him in death.
Mr. Schwemm was taken ill three months ago, and although apparently greatly improved, in health three weeks ago suffered a fatal relapse.
Mr. Schwemm was known as a genuinely 'good neighbor' always ready to extend a helping hand. As a farmer, he had the reputation of being unusually fond of his horses many of which he raised himself and all of which he kept for long years. One of his favorite sayings was, "No one is kinder to man than ahorse and no one does more work for man than a horse".
