Friedrich Albert Schmidt was born 31 July 1844 in Otterwisch, Thuringia, the son of Pastor Carl Ludwig Schmidt and wife Adelheid. His father died when Albert was 13 years old. After the boy had outgrown his home schooling he enrolled in the Thomas Institute in Leipzig and received a solid education. After leaving school he learned the trade of a cabinetmaker, a trade which he followed many years. In 1866 he came to America, stayed a while in Washington and then took work in Milwaukee. Later he spent a good deal of time in Michigan and in 1870 came to Manitowoc where he has remained ever since. He served as clerk in the business of J.A. Koehler about 15 years until Mr. Koehler gave up that business. Schmidt opened an inn called "Zum Rathskeller" which he operated until his death. In 1884 he made a trip to Germany to visit his mother just once more. That mother died last year. He felt unwell for quite sometime, then Wed. was stricken with pneumonia, went to the hospital where he died. Mr. Schmidt was a trustworthy man in every sense of the word and it can be said that he went to his grave with a soul without fault. The "Freie Sängerbund", of which the deceased had been an active member, accompanied his body to the grave on Tues. afternoon. Mr. Schmidt left his sister Mrs. Alvin Lange and her family, a brother in Germany, as well as his many sorrowing friends. He was not married. ******** SHADOW OF DEATH. Many Homes Saddened By the Visitation of the Destroyer. After a short illness Albert Schmidt died at the home of his sister, Mrs. A. Lange, corner of Franklin and Main streets Saturday. About a week ago he was taken suddenly ill at his retail liquor store on South Eighth street and was obliged to go home. He grew steadily worse and the illness developed into an attack of pneumonia. Everything that loving care and medical skill could suggest was done for the sufferer, but it was useless and he quietly passed from the scenes of earth at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Deceased was born in Germany, July 31, 1844, and came to Wisconsin in 1866, locating at Richfield. He remained there until 1868 and then removed to Milwaukee. For two years he was a resident of the Cream city and in 1870 decided to come to this city. He opened a retail liquor store and conducted the busines up to the time of his death. He had never married and the only relatives surviving him are a sister, Mrs. A. Lange, of this city and a brother, Joseph Schmidt, a resident of Porter, Germany. He was a man highly respected for his integrity and honesty, generous to a fault, he numbered his friends by the score and will be sadly missed by many who where indebted to him for acts of kindness. The funeral will be held from the residence of A. Lange, Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., and will be conducted by H. Falge. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, February 6, 1899 P.1 ******* BENEATH THE SOD.
