Shoger/Schoger family gathers for 2015 reunion SHAW MEDIA The Shoger/Schoger family reunion was held July 11 at the Harris Forest Preserve in Yorkville. The family celebrated 161 years in America since Andrew, Fredrick and William immigrated in 1854 from Marklustenau, Germany. Thirty-two descendants of Georg Michael Schoger (17601842), children and grandchildren,
came to the Plainfield/Oswego area even though he did not come himself. Marilyn Shoger and Lynn Shoger have organized the reunion for several years. Alice Mawdsley, Stan Shoger and Bonnie Shoger organized the group photo. After the photo, a potluck lunch was served. Members of the family related what they had been doing the past few years. The 2017 reunion is being planned.
We’re Much Closer Than You Think!
Invitations are by mail, email and word of mouth to those known to be descendants of Georg Michael Schoger. We encourage anyone who knows of a Schoger/Shoger connection to contact Marilyn Shoger at mjshoger@aol.com or Alice Mawdsley at aashoger@yahoo.com about the 2017 reunion. Family members are urged to update family trees located in the Little White Museum, 72 Polk Street in Oswego.
Pre-Planning gives you and your family peace of mind, but is also an easy and economical way to arrange your wishes.
Our goal is to make this process as simple and economical for you as possible. For information about our new Cremation Niche Columbarium, Ground Burial Packages and our monthly interest free payment plans, Call Today!
