OBITUARY
The McLaughlin community was stunned Sunday morning by the sudden passing of a 31-year resident and businessman, Jacob J.Schweigert. Mr. Schweigert had just finished the adult Sunday school class in his church when he suffered a fatal heart attack. He was 78. Funeral services will be held Thursday at the First Baptist Church at McLaughlin at 2 P.M. Services will be conducted by the Rev. Alfred Weisshar, superintendent of the Baptist Home for the Aged at Bismarck. Jacob J. Schweigert was born September 15, 1885 in Odessa,Russia. He was the son of Jacob and Katharina Schweigert. As a youth he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour and was baptized in the Baptist faith before leaving the Old Country. "Jake", as he was better known, came to the United States in 1905. He first resided at Eureka where he was employed in a general store and in a blacksmith shop. A few years later he went to Ashley, ND where he met and married Emma Mayor (sic) on March 3, 1908. In 1912 the young couple moved to Bismarck, ND to make their home. There their eight children were born. Mr. Schweigert became an American citizen in 1913. He worked as a foreman in a garage in Bismarck for 18 years. In 1930 the family moved to Plevna, Mont. where he operated a repair shop until 1933 when he moved with his family to McLaughlin. Here he worked as a mechanic until 1937 when he became associated with Ford and also with John Deere farm machinery. He disposed of this business in 1955. In April 1949, he signed a contract with Chevrolet and in 1955 he acquired the Oldsmobile franchise at McLaughlin. He was joined by his son Ted in 1942 and the two have operated the Schweigert Chevrolet Company as a partnership since that time. His first wife, Emma, passed away in 1948 and in 1949 he married Emilia Quenzer (nee Dietterle). He is survived by his wife, Emelia, two daughters, (Anna) Mrs. Andrew Bertsch, McLaughlin; (Verna) Mrs. Christ Aldinger, Billings, Mont., and three sons, Henry of Cedarville, Ill., Reuben of Fairfield, Calif. and Theodore W. of McLaughlin; two sisters, Freida Weisenburger of Great Falls, Mont., Mrs. John (Anna) Bentz of Lodi, Calif. There are three stepdaughters, twenty grand children and two great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, two sisters, one infant son and two infant daughters. Mr. Schweigert was a devout Christian and always played an important part in church affairs. He was a charter member of the Bismarck Baptist Church. He served his Church and Lord in various capacities such as Sunday school superintendent, Sunday school teacher, secretary, treasurer and deacon. He loved to sing and for many years sang in a male quartet in the church. He also served as trustee for the Bismarck Baptist Home for the Aged and at the time of his passing was serving on the Board of Directors of this Home. He had recently been re-elected to serve as Deacon of the Baptist Church in McLaughlin. Through his demise his church and the McLaughlin community has lost a citizen, advisor and friend. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Jake always said, "You are only as old as you feel." At the time of his passing, he was 78 years, 8 months and 7 days young.
