Louise Schaffer - Oldest Living Person From Germany & Schwaben Connection
"Louise “Lisel” Schaaf, who was documented as Illinois’ oldest resident, the oldest living person from Germany and the oldest living immigrant to the United States, has died at 113 years and 192 days old, according to a research group that verifies supercentenarians for Guinness World Records." “There also were many German athletic organizations. That’s how she met her husband. She liked to say she first saw Erwin Schaaf “on the soccer field.” He was a starter for the Schwaben Athletic Club soccer team, still in operation out of Buffalo Grove.” Louise's husband, Ernie Schaaf, played for Schwaben In the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. Rest in peace.
