Other first name spelling: Mathilde
Other last name spelling: Schirmer
Matilda was a daughter of Ehrenfried Schirmer and Caroline Herda Schirmer.
She was born in Leutmannsdorf, Schlesien, Germany in about 1830, after the Schirmer family moved from Gräditz (Grodziszcze), Schweidnitz, Breslau, Niederschlesien.
On August 23, 1856, the Schirmer family arrived in the port of New York from Breman, Germany on the Ship Orpheus. Mathilde, age 27, was listed with her family: Ehrenfried Schirmer 56, Karoline 53, Karoline 20/21, Ernestine 17, Henriette 10, Pauline 10, Bertha 7.
Matilda was the mother of Charles W. Schermer who was born in probably late 1856 in Wisconsin after the family's immigration. Charles was mentioned in the estate papers for Enfred Schermer as the grandson of Enfred, the son of a daughter deceased. Charles W. Schermer was residing in Chicago, Illinois at the time of Enfred's estate proceedings in November/December 1880.
In a land record for Enfred's estate, May 30, 1882, pg 625 of Deed Book ? recorded on Aug 15, 1882, Matilda's name is mentioned 3 times as "Matilda Schermer", so it seems she probably died with the last name Schermer. She was not listed among the surviving children.
