Wilbur Schnitker Lives Well Lived
Kay and Wib, as they were known to friends, lived lives dedicated to their love for music and their committment to pass on that love to generations of students whose lives they touched. They graduated from Carthage in the 1930s and stuck around the campus for a time to teach students there. They both attended graduate school and studied privately with masters in their field. Both were pianists, and Kay focused on the harpsichord as well.
The two of them joined the faculty at Muskingum University in New Concord, Ohio, in 1942 and spent their entire careers there. They were frequent performers alone and together across the Midwest and East. Wib continued giving annual recitals until age 94. It was reported that he made music history in 1968 by performing all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas from memory…over a two-week period.
Kay and Wib had fond memories of and great appreciation for their years on the Carthage campus, and for the ways in which the College nurtured their musical gifts. They gave back to the College through the Carthage Fund and through an inclusion of the College in their estate planning.
A wonderful memory was to walk into their modest home in New Concord and see the living room filled with two grand pianos and a harpsichord. They spent a long life together making beautiful music. They saw their lives as gifts from God, and they shared a lifetime giving those gifts to others.
Planned and estate gifts to Carthage, such as will inclusions, charitable gift annuities and trusts, retirement plans, and life insurance provide ideal opportunities to benefit you and the College. Call Dr. Jim Unglaube at 262-945-3024; send an email to
junglaube@carthage.edu; or write to him at Carthage College, Kenosha, Wisconsin 53140.
