Nicholas Schmitz in Chicago, IL m. Elizabeth C Foerster

alisonsstar — 30 Nov 2008 12:52:11 GMT

I'm curious if there is anyone who has any more information about Nicholas Schmitz born about 1867 and who came from Germany about 1887. By 1920 he was living in Chicago with wife Elizabeth Foerster and 4 children, Mattias, Arthur, Florence and Alphonsus. He also shows up on the 1930 census. I'm curious about his parents and where in Germany he came from. Thank you for your help.

My SCHMITZ's and SMITH's from Prussia to Wisconsin

MorganCole34 — 10 Sep 2008 11:47:35 GMT

I don't have to much info to go on. But my SCHMITZ line starts with a Theodore SCHMITZ, b. abt 1804(?) in Prussia. I don't know if that was his middle name or given. Theodore married a Anna Maria, also from Prussia. While still in Prussia they had two daughters Mary A. b. abt 1841 and Elizabeth Louisa (my gg-grandmother) b. abt 1843. THe family immigrated to La Crosse, Wisconsin (as far as I know). There Theodore and Anna Maria had children, John abt 1845, Julia abt 1849, twins Franklin and Joseph abt 1852, Henry abt 1857 and George abt 1860. Theodore looks to have died est 1859-1870. Ana Maria never remarried. Her children that I know married, were Elizabeth to John J. Cole (Prominent Lawyer of La Crosse) and Franklin to Rebecca Lee. Either the family changed the surname SCHMITZ to SMITH, or it just ended up being that way. Frank and Joseph worked on the railroad. This is basically all i know of this family. I'd like to find out about their family history in Prussia and the descendants of Elizabeth Louisa' siblings, death dates of the parents, etc. Any relatives recognize this family please contact me. Cousins are always welcome. Any help is appreciated.

Peter J. Schmitz
Peter J. Schmitz, whose excellent farm of 103 1/2 acres of well-cultivated land is situated in Gibson township, was born in Lorain County, Ohio May 21, 1862. He is a son of John and Mary Ann (Pfiefer) Schmitz.

John Schmitz, father of our subject, was born in Germany, April 3, 1817, and still survives, being probably the most venerable resident of Sharpsburg, Gibson township. He came to America in 1844 and settled in Lorain County on property that his father had purchased. After his marriage, he bought a farm in that county on which he lived for some 20 years, leaving it to remove to Mercer County in 1864. After selling the old farm, he bought 80 acres in Gibson township, this being the farm now owned by our subject. On this he erected a log house which is still inhabited and later bought 80 acres adjoining. Still later he added 50 acres more, situated in Darke County. He was considered a very judicious business man during his active life.

John Schmitz married Mary Ann Pfeifer, and they had eight children, namely: Maggie, who died aged 11 years; John, a wagon-maker, whose home is in Oregon; Joseph, a resident of Gibson township; Jacob, who lives in Minnesota; Gertrude, the wife of Joseph Remanklus, of Jay County, Indiana; Emma, wife of David Schlamp, of Gibson township; Peter J., of this sketch; and an infant that died unnamed.

Peter J. Schmitz was two years old when his parents brought him to Mercer County and was reared in Gibson township. He learned the carpenter's trade and followed that in connection with farming. He has many improvements about the place and in 1905 he built a large, convenient barn for his use. He carries on general farming.

On August 17, 1886, Mr. Schmitz was married to Elizabeth Leiser, a daughter of Frederick and Mary (Agler) Leiser. Frederick Leiser came with his parents to America from Germany. when seven years of age, his parents settling in Tuscarawas County, where he married when grown to manhood. He had 13 children, namely: Valentine, who died in infancy; Philip, who died aged five years; Katie, wife of Patrick Reedy, of Darke County, Ohio; Mary, wife of John Bright, of Dayton, Ohio; Elizabeth, wife of our subject; Charles, of Canal Dover, Ohio; Martha, wife of Englebert Schmitz, of Dayton; Anna, wife of William Camper, of Dayton; Maggie, wife of Peter Rummel, of Granville township; John, a teacher in Gibson township; Carrie, wife of Benjamin Hulsman, of Gibson township; William, a teacher in Gibson township; and Lawrence, who died aged four years. Mrs. Schmitz was 12 years old when she accompanied her parents to Mercer County.

After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Schmitz moved to Oregon, where Mr. Schmitz bought 40 acres of land, on which they lived for seven years and then came back to Mercer County. They have nine children; Frederick William, Mary Anna, Ursula, Emma, George, Henry, Lawrence, Charles, and Gertrude. Mr. Schmitz and family are members of St. Paul's Catholic Church at Sharpsburg, of which he is one of the directors.

History of North Central Ohio:
embracing Richland, Ashland, Wayne, Medina, Lorain, Huron and Knox Counties
by William A. Duff
published in 1931
pages 1363, 1364
Herman J. Schmitz
As proprietor of the Schmitz Cement Product Company, of Ashland, Herman J. Schmitz is prominent throughout North Central Ohio. He was born at Alvada, Seneca County, Ohio, Nov 22, 1897, the son of Nicholas and Margaret (Reinhart) Schmitz.
Nicholas Schmitz was a native of Seneca County, Ohio. Throughout his life he was interested in general farming and stockraising and owned a well improved farm in Seneca County. He retired in 1914 and removed to Fostoria, Ohio, where he died April 10, 1922. His wife died in 1924. Both are buried in St. Peter's Cemetery, near Alvada. They were members of St. Peter's Catholic Church, and Mr. Schmitz was a Democrat. There were nine children in the Schmitz family, as follows: Nicholas, died in infancy; Charles, retired, lives at Fostoria; Tillie, married Nicholas Kirian, lives near Alvada; Romey, lives near Fostoria; Minnie, married Martin Blechinger, lives near New Riegel, Ohio; John, lives on the old homestead near Alvada; Nora, married Joseph Faber, lives near Alvada; Robert, lives at Fostoria; and Herman J. Schmitz, the subject of this sketch.
The boyhood of Herman J. Schmitz was spent on his father's farm in Seneca County and he attended the district schools. He took correspondence work in mechanical engineering, and at the age of 17 years went to Fostoria, where he spent three years in the employ of H. J. Adams. He later operated a garage in Fostoria, which he sold in 1918 to enlist for service in the World War. He was sent to the University of Cincinnati to study automobile mechanics and later was stationed at Valparaiso, Ind., as an instructor in motor transportation. He was discharged Dec. 15, 1918, and upon his return to Fostoria reentered the employ of H. J. Adams. Later he conducted a garage business at Tiffin, Ohio, for 18 months, after which he spent two years in business with his brother, Robert Schmitz, as proprietors of a cement products plant in Fostoria. Mr. Schmitz sold his interest in 1924 and came to Ashland, where he engaged in the manufacturing of cement products. A branch plant of the Schmitz Cement Products Company was erected in Mansfield in 1928. The company specializes in the manufacture of cement blocks, cement tile, trim stone, etc., and also manufactures a complete line of Selco and Haydite units. In August, 1930, Mr. Schmitz introduced a new composition on the market, which he has termed "Stone Age." This new product is almost as rigid as marble and is manufactured in all colors, to be used in bath room finish, floors, and table tops. It was perfected by Mr. Schmitz after several years of study and experimental work.
On June 17, 1919, Mr. Schmitz was united in marriage with Miss Marie Elizabeth Cook, of Fostoria, the daughter of Christopher and Elizabeth (Eischen) Cook. Mr. Cook was born in Germany and died in Fostoria, Nov. 12, 1918. His widow, a native of Wyandotte County, Ohio, resides in Ashland. Mr. and Mrs. Schmitz have one son, Francis Joseph, born June 11, 1930.
Mr. Schmitz is identified with the Democratic party in politics. He is a member of the Catholic Church and belongs to the American Legion.

Hi,

I'm looking for info on Elizabeth Schmitz born between 1924 and 1928. Schmitz would have been her maiden name. There is record that she was in Fond du Lac county (WI) in her teenage years, not sure if she was born there or not. Sorry, I don't have much else to go on. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Desc of Nicholas Schmitz- OH counties: Henry, Lorain, Paulding

JeanneCrews27 — 20 Sep 2007 1:37:50 GMT

I'd love to make contact with anyone who is descended from Nicholas Schmitz and Catherine Minnich who came from Germany to Ohio. I mostly have information on the family line of their son Stephen but I think they had another son named Anton and daughters named Emma and Anna Sophia. In 1870 they were in Lorain County, Ohio. Stephen married Emma Weber and their sons spread out into Henry County and Paulding County, Ohio and to Michigan and New Mexico. Anna Sophia married Peter Raab and lived in Lorain County, Ohio. The names of the other two children are from census records. I think Nicholas was a stonemason in the sandstone quarries in Amherst, Lorain County, Ohio.

SCHMITZ/Germany/OH/PA

RSF161 — 26 Aug 2007 12:50:15 GMT

Trying to locate information about my father's family, if anyone can help or has a connection please reply. The difficult part about this is that my information is somewhat sketchy and the names are common rather than unusual.

John Schmitz immigrated to the US from Germany. I have a page from his original naturalization papers dated 1890 at the Probate Court of Youngstown, Mahonning County, OH. That is the only piece of "hard" evidence our family has for this man.

I found a census for 1900 in Allegheny, PA it has a John Schmitz b. 1850 immigrated abt 1879. The census shows a son Joseph who was born in OH it says age 13 but the dob on the census looks more like 1884 than 1887. In addition, listed on the census are John's wife, Anna b. 1853 in Germany - a daughter Mary A. born Aug 1881 in Germany which may be difficult to explain if John immigrated in 1879 and John and Anna were married for 24 years at the time of the census.That length of time wouldn't indicate that Mary might have been from a previous marriage. Then there is another daughter Francis born Mar 1892 OH. If this is someone else's Schmitz family and not mine it would be most helpful to know that - I'm grasping at straws right now.

I have a photo of a woman that I believe was Joseph H. Smith (Schmitz) mother - it is one of the post card type and was taken in Cleveland, OH the back is inscribed "To my son Joe, Love Mama".

Joseph Henry Schmitz (Smith) was born 13 Mar 1884 according to his WWI draft registration which I located on Ancestry. He married Hazel Louise Thompson sometime before 1915 and I believe they split up around 1920. (My father, Robert Clayton Smith, was born in Philadelphia 13 Aug 1915.)I do not know when Joseph and Hazel were married and if they were married in PA or perhaps Ohio - she originally lived in Columbus.

I do not have a date of death for Joseph Henry Smith but I know he was probably living in Philadelphia, PA with his second wife, Pauline (no other information about her).

Schmitz families in Lorain County, Ohio

JeanneCrews27 — 25 Jul 2007 11:02:25 GMT

My line of Schmitzes, as I understand it, going back, is as follows: Theodore Albert Schmitz (1884-1962) and wife Elizabeth Bischoff; his father Stephen Schmitz (1844-1911) and wife Anna Elizabeth "Emma" Weber; his father Nicholas Schmitz and wife Catherine (maybe Minnich?). Theodore Albert, my great-grandfather, was born in Henry Co., Ohio but died in Lorain Co., Ohio. Census records indicate that Stephen and Nicholas were born in Germany. Stephen died in Lorain Co., and I would guess that Nicholas did, too. I think I found Nicholas in the 1870 census listed as Smith, and his age is 53. It says his wife Kate is 58. There's also an Emma, age 23, and an Antone, age 19. The birthplace of the two younger children is Germany, so if this is accurate, they came to the US after 1850.
There are other Schmitz families in Lorain County from Avon and Sheffield Townships. I've always heard that we were all related, but I haven't yet found out how.
If anyone connects to this family, I'd love to hear from you.

Schmitz family from San Francisco

colin1972 — 3 Feb 2007 4:52:49 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I am wondering if anyone out there sees any connections to the following Schmitz family that originated from New York City, spent a few years in Portland, Oregon and then settled in San Francisco, California.

William Schmitz (born about February 1846 in Prussia) son of Joseph Schmitz and Adelheid Rothkopf married Elizabeth Linder (born about 1853, New York City - died 1898, San Francisco) daughter of Martin Linder and Jacobine Kennel on October 4, 1874 in New York City.

The children of William Schmitz and Elizabeth Linder included:

1. Minnie Schmitz (30 Apr 1879, Portland - 22 Mar 1946, San Francisco)
2. Joseph Schmitz (born May 1880, Portland)
3. Louis Schmitz (born Aug 1881, Portland)
4. Mary Schmitz (born Dec 1883, San Francisco)
5. Charles Schmitz (born 31 Oct 1885, San Francisco)

There was also another son Anton Schmitz (born 23 Oct 1871, New York City) whose birthname was Anton Gluckler as Elizabeth Linder was previously married to a certain Anthony Gluckler who died before her second marriage and it looks like William Schmitz adopted Anton as he was recorded with the last name of Schmitz for all of the records that I have found for him. I have also seen his first name spelled as Antoine.

Minnie Schmitz married a certain man from Scotland named Alexander Rannie (born about 1871) around the year 1904.

Charles Schmitz married a certain lady named Ethel D. Williams (born 14 Jul 1892, Pennsylvania)

Anton Schmitz married a certain lady named Jessie (born August 1874, Iowa) around 1895.

The Schmitz family worked with pianos, were listed as piano makers and piano tuners. I also believe that William Schmitz (Feb. 1846, Prussia) had a brother named Joseph Schmitz (born about 1852 in Prussia) who also had a family living in San Francisco during the same time period, who also worked with pianos.

If anyone sees any connection to any of the above family members, I look forward to hearing from you!

Schmitz - Prussia to WI (Milwaukee & Iowa County)

jejsr2043 — 3 Dec 2006 5:44:36 GMT

Looking for any information prior to 1880 on the following people:

John Knapp - born Hesse Darmstadt between 1840-1845 died Iowa County, Wisconsin 1913
Mary Catherine Schmitz (Knapp) born Prussia abt 1850 died Iowa County, Wisconsin 1916
Maria Agnes Zander (Schmitz) born Prussia abt 1810 and died ???? (after 1880) location unknown

John Knapp is shown in the 1880 Census as being born about 1845, In the 1910 Census it shows 1841

His Death Record shows - John Knapp, Laborer, 72y9m22d, died 2-6-1913 at Mineral Point. He was born 4-14-1840 in Germany to George Knapp, born Germany and "don't know" born Germany,

Death record for John Knapp's wife --- Mary Cathryn Knapp, nee Schmitz, age 66y6m19d, born Germany to Peter Schmitz & Mary Agnes Zander also born Germany. Born 1-9-1850 and died July 28, 1916 at Mineral Point

Possibility - 1870 Census - John Knapp born 1843 Darmstadt, resides Wauwatosa, Milwaukee - shows wife Mary C age 20 born Prussia and Daughter Elisabeth age 2 born Wisconsin. There are several Agnes or Mary/Maria Schmitz/Schmidt in the area of Milwaukee or Wauwatosa that could have been her mother.

Cannot find any death record of Maria Agnes Schmitz born about 1810 and died in or near Iowa County, WI She should have died soon after the 1880 census as she was shown as Mary Smith living with John and Mary Knapp in Iowa County.- no further info here. Her husband is supposed to be Peter Schmitz -

Schmitz-Duggan-Gallagher

janfortado1 — 12 Nov 2006 1:55:25 GMT

I am researching the Gallagher family of Glanworth. One of the descendants married a Schmitz in Chicago, IL. This family would trace back to Edmond Gallagher and Catherine Casey born in Ireland, and married probably in the 1830's. I have been trying to find the person in this extended family who put their Glanworth Gallagher information either on Ancestry.com or Family Tree Maker. Because I am also researching the Glanworth Gallagher family, I would love to be in touch with the Shmitz family who descends from Ruth Gallagher (Glanworth Gallagher descendant) and William Duggan. The Gallaghers settled in Clyman WI. I am hoping there is someone from that family who checks this list.

Schmitz brothers from Beho, Belgium to Kansas City, Missouri

Betty — 6 Nov 2006 3:41:19 GMT

I am searching for the Schmitz brothers that left Beho, Belgium or Luxembourg for the U.S. in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I believe they settled in Kansas City, Missouri. I also believe Jean (John) was the first to leave for the U.S. and lived in Kansas City. Another brother, Nicholas, who was a tailor in Belgium soon followed. In 1909 Nicholas was living at 2751 Lister Ave, Kansas City. Two more brothers, Henri and Leonard followed in 1905.

Their remaining relatives in Belgium, Luxembourg and Canada are eager to reconnect with these long lost relatives.

Who did Emma Schmitz born 1883 MN, marry?

Barbara Cady — 16 Oct 2006 3:34:19 GMT

Emma Schmitz was born Oct 1883 in MN to Peter and Catherine
Schmitz. She was single in the 1910 MN census, age 26.
They were in Redwood County, MN at the time.
Who did she marry? Children?

Peter Schmitz (1844-1904 MN) and Catherine (1843) of Germany/Prussia; lived MN

Barbara Cady — 30 Sep 2006 12:21:07 GMT

Peter Schmitz was born July 1844 in Germany/Prussia. His
wife was Catherine born Sept 1843 Germany/Prussia.
In 1880 they were in Le Sueur County, MN with children:
Mary 10, Ernest 9, Anna 7, Peter 5, Catherine 4 (all born in MN
but Mary (Wis?)).
They then moved to Redwood County, MN.
Other children born in MN were Nicholas Joe 1882 and Emma 1883. There was another child, as Catherine states she had
8 children in 1900 census.
Anna was my step great grandmother.
Can anyone tell me more about this family.
Or the parentage of the parents? The census uses the name
Smith in some censuses.

DATA Message RE: The Marshallite, 1929 John Marshall High School yearbook (Richmond, VA).

This yearbook lists the members of the Senior class of 1929, faculty members, members of the Corps of Cadets, and many members of various clubs (not all). Unfortunately, it does not list the names of the members of the Junior, Sophomore or Freshmen classes (only officers listed for those classes). It includes the following name(s):

cmcoats — 29 Dec 2005 7:57:09 GMT

Searching for Ruby F. _____ who married a Schmitz. She has two children, both born in Mississippi. Ruby was born about 1895 in Mississippi. The first child, Edna, was born in 1912 and second child, Garland, was born in 1914. By the time of the 1920 census from Marianna, Arkansas, Ruby is with a second husband (Otie Kerr (Willis O. Kerr), and the 1930 St. Francis County, Arkansas census lists another daughter (Shirley Kerr born in 1925). Willis O. Kerr owned and ran the cotton gin in Colt, Arkansas until it closed several years before his death. Edna and Garland never carried the Kerr name, but retained the Schmitz name until their death. My husband and Garland's son are very close friends. This research is for his family.

Both sons married, William to Theresa Lubitz and had children, Aloysius, a priest, and Magdalena. John to Appolonia Klee and had Susan, Joseph D. William and John. A key is that both Wilhelm and Johann were musicians.

Nicholas Schmitz- Dubuque, IA

crfordy — 15 Oct 2005 3:47:59 GMT

I am looking for any information for Nicholas Schmitz born 1819 Prussia and his wife Johanna also born 1819 in Prussia. They first appeared on the census reports 1870 in Jefferson Township, Dubuque, IA. I believe that they immigrated from Prussia about 1860 and possibly arrived in America through the port of New Orleans. Several adult children were also living with them. The children's names were John N., Leonard John, Cornelius, Joseph Theodore, Gertrude, and Anna M. Schmitz.
In 1880 Nicholas and Johanna Schmitz were living in Dubuque township, Dubuque, IA they were retired and no children were in the home. There was no 1890 census and they were not in the 1900 Census.
If someone knows what happened to these two and when, or where they might have been buried, I would appreciate the information.
Thanks,
Don Huffman

I am looking for any information on Mathew and Clara Schmitz. I believe they arrived in Bluffton, Minnesota in 1881 and shortly after that went to Wadena, Minnesota where Mathew is said to have been part owner of a brewery.

They came from Outsheid (now Utsheid) Germany, which is very close to Luxembourg.

So far I have only two possible connections - a land patent for Math Schmitz and an obituary for Matt Schmitz in 1920.

Thanks for any help!

I am interested in finding information about my great grandfather, Peter J. Schmitz. Thanks to the Prom family history provided by Carrie Schafer, I know his parents are Nicolous and Catheriana Schmitz and he was born in 1867, but I know nothing further into this family tree. I know he lived in Bellechester, MN for some time unitl 1894, in which he moved to Harvey, ND. I would love info about his siblings, parents, and other relatives.
