I don't have an actual address for Arnold Schnetzer.  Fact is, I stumbled on these two places as I was following Cemetery Road down on the map, looking for Washington Cemetery where his brother Norman is buried.  The obituary (see below) indicates the memorial was held at the Schnetzers' farm, which I suspect is one of these two places.  What did they farm?
