John Henry "Harry" Schuller Jr. (1871–1937) was one of three children born to John Henry Schuller (1844–1905) and Amelia Jane Watts (1847–1918). The family lived in Brooklyn at 191 Keap Street from about 1890 to 1907, according to New York City Directories. Both Schuller and his father were salesmen involed in dry goods, and according to Trow's New York City Directory published in 1893, 83 Worth Street in New York was the site of Coverse, Stanton, and Cullen dry goods store (269). In 1897, Schuller married Margaret Hay (1872–1937) and the couple had one son, Robert Duncan Schuller (1903–1995). Schuller and his wife lived in New York until about 1930, when they moved to Palisades Park, New Jersey, near their son. According to The Record (Hackensack, NJ), Schuller suffered a stroke on July 7, 1937 (15), and The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported that he died about a week later at Robert Schuller's home (July 17, 1937, 7). He is buried beside his wife and parents in New York's Cyprus Hill Cemetery.
