Simeon was the son of John Jacob Schell and Anna Nancy Hilts. He was married circa 1837, probably in Orleans County, New York to Elizabeth Dygert.

In 1840, Simeon and his family lived in Orleans, Jefferson County, New York, next door to his father's house. Simeon's household contained one male under age 5 (William), one male aged 20 to under 30 (Simeon), one female under age 5 (Mary), and one female aged 15 to under 20 (Elizabeth).

On 24 September 1850, Simeon and Elizabeth and seven children- William H., Mary M., Philo F., Nancy C., George W., Joram M., and Elizabeth- lived in Orleans, Jefferson County, New York, next door to Simeon's parents. Simeon was working as a farmer.

On 31 August 1860, the couple and 10 children- Mary, Philo, Nancy, George, Joel, Elizabeth, Hellen, Willie, Charles, and Hattie- lived in Ward, Albany County, New York. Simeon worked as a farmer. The family owned $4,000 in real estate and $300 in personal property. Five of the children (George, Joel, Elizabeth, Hellen, and Willie) had attended school in the previous year.

In May 1873, Simeon and Mr. Whitman came upon a bear in a tree in Grant township. The bear dropped down to the ground and attacked a dog, whereupon Schell grabbed it by the hind leg and Mr. Whitman killed it with a blow of an ax (Grand Traverse Herald, 8 May 1873, page 3).

On 15 June 1880, Simeon and Betsy lived on a farm in Grant township, Grand Traverse County, Their son Joram and his family lived next door.
