Her future husband Emil Gustav Hornschuch was born in 1872 in Pennsylvania. He is the second of six children. His father is Christian Lorenz Hornschuch who married Wilhelmina in 1870 in Ashland, Pennsylvania. About 1898 they move to Oregon where their last child Laurence Christian is born. Four years later Emil marries Ruth Buckner 8 August 1894. Between 1895 and 1902 they have three children. Vera lives 6 years, Lester 7 years. Emil's wife Ruth Buckner died 26 January 1906 in Tigardville, OR. She was 30 and years old and was laid to rest next to her two little children who died several years before.
Ruth Buckner Obituary
"Mrs. Hornschuch, wife of Rev. E G Hornschuch, died at Tigardville, last Friday morning, about 5:00 am. The deceased was taken with a severe choking spell and left the bedroom to go out on the back porch. She reached the porch where she fell, and expired within a very few minutes. She was the wife of the German Evangelical minister at Tigardville, and was age about 30 years. She was universally respected." (Feb 11 1906 Hillsboro,Or Newspaper)

On Christmas day 1908 Emil Hornschuch and Emma are married, Emil's son from his first marriage, Leroy Emil's, lives with them. He is 8 years old. How did Emil and Emma get together? Some believe Emma's uncle August Weinert Jr, who was also a minister, may have introduced the couple. The thing that really helps this theory is that Emil and Emma and August and Marie were married on the same day.
"While Emil was preaching in a church in Seattle Washington, their first child was born, Willard E. on June 2, 1911. Two daughters were subsequently born. After his charge in Seattle, he was sent to the church at 17th and Chemeketa Street in Salem, Oregon. Their second child was born, Naomi E. on August 25, 1914, who died January 2, 1950 Salem. Emma loved to ring the church bell each Sunday morning. Willard would follow her…crawling over the rain or mud or whatever, and how he gave a bad time to his half-brother LeRoy during the sermon. The Conference sent Emil to Jefferson, Oregon, to minister in the church. In Jefferson their third child was born, Erma E. on August 9, 1916 and Erma lived a long life dying March 5, 2000 in Portland." (Source: Beth Weinert)
On Sunday July 2, 1916 a photo and article was published in the Oregonian:
"From Left to Right-Rev. Emil G. Hornschuch, Jefferson; Rev E.D. Hornschuch, First English church of Portland; Rev T.R. Hornschuch of Lenta Church; Rev H.E. Hornschuch of Tillamoch.
Four brothers in the ministry is somewhat unusual, yet the Oregon conference of the Evangelical Association has this combination. The four are: Rev. Emil G. Hornschuch, pastor of the Jefferson Evangelical for two years, in the ministry for 12 years; Rev E.D. Hornschuch, pastor of the first English Church, East Mark and East Sixth Streets, in the ministry for 17 years; Rev T.R. Hornschuch pastor of the Lents Church in the ministry for 17 years; Rev. H.E. Hornschuch, in the ministry for 25 years. All are members of the Oregon conference, and form what is called the conference quartet, as all are excellent singers. They frequently hold protracted meetings together in the state. In the Hornschuch family there were 10 living children, seven boys and three girls. The four ministers are well known in Oregon, where they have spent most of their ministerial activities, serving pastorates in different parts of the state." (Notes: In 1930 Lawrence Hornschuch is a Proprietor at a Resort in Portland, Edward in 1920 is still in the ministry, Theodore is a dairyman, Henry a dairyman, Emil a farmer and their father is a retired farmer in Clackamas in 1901.

In 1928 Emma’s sister Laura Scholl lost her life in childbirth, leaving a baby boy. Emil and Emma took the brand new baby, Lawrence S. Zinser, and raised him as their own. Lawrence lived with his wife, Barbara in California after both served as a PNC (Personnel Chief Petty Officer)
1928 Emma (Bachman) Scholl's journal, (wife of Emma's brother George):
"We stayed a week at George's sister's in Salem. Her husband Emil was very religious. I tried to talk to her about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, but she was very prejudiced against it. She had three children, Willard, Naomi and Erma. They had a farm on which they raised onions. They also had fruit trees and we stopped on our way back to California and ate delicious prunes. Emma died with Tuberculosis march 22, 1944. I never saw her again after 1928, but Audrey (Emma B. Scholl's daughter) visited them about ten years later.

We started home in September, stopped at Emma's and enjoyed the prunes and peaches. We attended Laura's funeral in the Evangelical Church in Portland just before we left. She died August 27th, 1928, giving birth to her second baby, Lawrence Zinser. Her first baby had died at birth. Emma Scholl Hornschuch raised Lawrence. Leona Bingaman also married soon afterward and she died giving birth to her first child. Her sister Laura Roby lived in Portland. We also visited Edward and Fred Voegelein, Aunt Minnie's sons, and her daughter Kate Daugherty in Lebanon and Brooks."
Vince Becker, nephew:
"Onions and filberts were the two crops…how things are changed by now! They started with a team of horses. Emil would often say, “Oh, I was born 20 years too early” as he would wondered at the new ways. Then Bill (his son) in turn would say the same thing and would wonder at these improvements. It was not a fitted lingering death for Emil who left this world suffering cancer in March of 1942. Emma died March 22, 1944 in Salem, Oregon. She died on the 23 March 1944, Portland, OR. There is a stained glass window named after Emma in a church south of Salem, Oregon. Willard dies on July 23, 1984 in Salem, Oregon."
Beth Weinert, cousin:
While in Jefferson Emma found that she was ill. Although they moved to the farm in 1921 Emil continued to fill pastorate in Jefferson. He would walk to Brooks, take the train to Jefferson, then via train back to Brooks and walk home. A long day! If the water was up? He wasn’t stopped. He waded through. You, who remember him, know there was never a man who lived more kind and gentle.
Sandra Blunck:
“Frederick’s oldest daughter, Emma and her husband Emil Hornschuch borrowed $10,000 from Frederick Scholl a few years before his death. The will stated that if the $10,000 had not been paid back before his death, that it would be deducted from what the Hornschuch family received.
“Emil felt that it wasn’t his children’s fault that he had borrowed the $10,000 and that his family deserved an equal share with Frederick’s other grandchildren. Emil contested the will in a court of law and lost. He continued to contest the decision until the estate was eaten up by attorney fees.
“Willard Apel said he couldhave received about $5,000 from the will, which was a lot of money in those days, but instead received only $130 four years after his grandfather’s death. After the contesting of the will, there was little contact among family members.” (Source: Written by Sandra Gardiner Blunck May 2002 from interview of Willard Apel (97 years old) January, 2002)
