I assume you mean the Leo Schober who was born Sept 21, 1893. He is listed as the son of Conrad and Agatha Schober (Schobert) in the 1900 and 1910 census.
According to their June 13, 1889 marriage record Conrad was born May 4, 1866 in Germany and Agatha B. Mannas was born Nov 12, 1866 in Pittsburgh. See familysearch.org
Here is where they are buried: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSln=Schober&GSiman=1&GScid=46190&http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSln=Schober&GSiman=1&GScid=46190&
If you are looking for more I suggest getting Conrad and Agatha's death certificates which the PA State Archives should have (although PA state death certificates are due to start appearing on Ancestry.com in April). Their obituaries might also help. Check with the Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society to see if they might help you find them.
Most likely Conrad arrived in Baltimore, MD on June 6, 1879 aboard the "Leipzig". He was 13, born in Bavaria and going to Pittsburgh. It seems he was traveling alone.
