He was educated in the school of Enterprise, Wis., and remained at home until he was 21 years of age. From that time until 1920 he worked in the lumber woods during the winter months of each year. In 1908 he settled on a 40-acre tract of land in Section 27, town of Enterprise, which land he had purchased in 1903; here he built up a good set of buildings and carried on farming until 1918, when he sold the property and purchased his present 40-acre farm adjoining it on the east. This farm is equipped with a full set of buildings and has a blacksmith shop which Mr. SCHOENECK operates in addition to conducting his farm, on which he raises potatoes and does mixed farming.

He served as supervisor of the town of Enterprise for five years, and was a director on the school board of his district for 12 years, being a member of the building committee during the construction of the new Enterprise school.
