The daughter of Franz "Frank" Horschuetz and Franciska "Frances" Güentner, Apolonia married Mihaly Geringer, Jr. about 1905. He was a wheelwright. They were the parents of 3 sons by the time they decided to come to the United States.
Apolonia, Mihaly and their 9-month-old son, Stefan, came to America aboard a ship known as the Carpathia. They arrived in New York on 16 Aug 1910.
It should be noted that the Carpathia became famous a year and 8 months later when her crew rescued 705 survivors from the Titanic just 2 hours after she hit an iceberg and sank. The Carpathia was sunk on 17 Jul 1918 when she was torpedoed 3 times by a German submarine off the southern coast of Ireland.
After immigrating to the United States, Mihaly was known as "Michael" Geringer. He worked as a wagonmaker in St. Louis, Missouri.
On 04 May 1912, Michael took his own life the day after his 32nd birthday. Apolonia gave birth to their youngest child, Louis, on 18 Oct 1912.
Children from first marriage: 4 sons.
Newly widowed, Apolonia married John F. Schmidt. He, also, had just lost his spouse and was a widower with 4 daughters of his own.
Apolonia and John wed about 1914 in St. Louis. After their marriage, they became the parents of at least 11 more children, and John worked as a cabinet worker.
Children from second marriage: 4 step-daughters, 3 sons, 8 daughters.
John passed away in 1941.
Apolonia worked cleaning offices in the St. Louis area until her retirement. During her later years, she dealt with heart disease and also had a mild case of diabetes.
She was a member of C. K. of A. 1088. She also belonged to the Holy Trinity Altar Society.
Her congestive heart failure took a turn for the worse during the final week of her life, and she was hospitalized at St. Mary's Hospital. She died there 16 days after her 84th birthday.
