Papa Georg Schmid
In regard to the brief obituary for Papa Georg Schmid from Farmersville reported in our Friday issue, the following serves as a supplement: Georg Schmid was born on 10 March 1829 in Regensburg, Bavaria and reached an age of almost 74 years. He came in 1853 to America and then to Milwaukee. In April 1856 he settled in Le Roy, where from 1857 until 1892 he operated a beer brewery. On 6 September 1854 he married his surviving spouse, Maria, nee Greiner, with whom he would have celebrated his golden wedding anniversary in the coming year. The marriage produced 11 children, of whom 8 are still alive: the daughters Maria (Mrs. Buellesbach); Anna (Mrs. Bauer); Elisabeth (Mrs. Gruber); Mathilda (Mrs. Strasser); Caroline (Mrs. Hoffmann); and the sons: Joseph, Alois and Rev. Max Schmid. His oldest son Georg died 11 years ago at the age of 36. In addition he is survived by 23 grandchildren. In Regensburg, Bavaria he is survived by one brother and 2 sisters. He visited his hometown of Regensburg twice - in the years 1857 and 1873.
