HENRY SCHUMACHER PURCHASED THE ACREAGE FOR THE PURPOSE OF GRAZING HIS LIVESTOCK WHILE HE LIVED ON THE ADJACENT SCHUMACHER FAMILY FARM WITH HIS BROTHERS. HENRY TURNED THE LAND INTO A WORKING FARM IN 1907 AND HIRED FRANK SCHWENN TO BUILD THE PRESENT-DAY CRUCIFORM TWO-STORY HOUSE FOR HIS FUTURE BRIDE, EVELINE BUSBY. THE FARM REMAINED IN THE SCHUMACHER FAMILY FOR NEARLY 100-YEARS.IN 1908, HENRY MARRIED EVELINE BUSBY AND IN 1910, MARCELLA PHILOMENE SCHUMACHER, THEIR ONLY CHILD, WAS BORN. ALTHOUGH ALL FARMING ACTIVITY HAD CEASED SHORTLY AFTER THE DEATH OF HER FATHER IN 1942, EVELINE AND MARCELLA CONTINUED RENTING THE LAND TO LOCAL FARMERS.

AT HER DEATH, SHE LEFT THE MARCELLA SCHUMACHER PENDALL TRUST TO PROVIDE FOR THE BASIC FINANCIAL NEEDS OF THE FRIENDS OF SCHUMACHER FARM.
