"RESIDENT OF CITY 82 YEARS PASSES AWAY Mrs. Julia Schmidt, Mother of Judge A.H. Schmidt, Was Pioneer Teacher of County Life of another pioneer resident of the county came to a close here early this morning when Mrs. Julia Schmidt, nee Zinns, wife of ex-Sheriff Henry Schmidt, deceased, and mother of Judge A.H. Schmidt, died at the family home at 701 Jay street at 6:30 o'clock. Death came after an illness of three months during which Mrs. Schmidt seemed to rally at times but her advanced age of 86 proved an unsurmountable handicap to recovery. The end came peacefully with members of her immediate family in attendance at the bedside. Although bed-ridden for the past several months owing to the infirmities attendant upon advancing age, the condition of Mrs. Schmidt did not become particularly alarming until last Sunday. She remained conscious almost up to the hour of her death and was cheerful with her faculties clear. Was Pioneer Teacher Mrs. Schmidt lived in Manitowoc county for 82 years and was one of the pioneer teachers of the township of Meeme prior to making her home in this city with her husband after the Civil war. Born in Buffalo, New York, on May 28, 1844, Mrs. Schmidt moved to the town of Meeme with her parents in 1848. Her early life was spent in the township where her father established the first mill to be erected in the state. After attending schools of the district, she taught in the immediate vicinity and on Jan. 7, 1869, she was united in marriage to Henry Schmidt who preceded her in death eight years ago. While the life and interest of Mrs. Schmidt centered in her home and family, in her earlier life she took a prominent part in social affairs. A lover of music and possessed of an excellent voice Mrs. Schmidt participated in many public concerts and amateur theatricals and achieved prominence for her work. In later life Mrs. Schmidt was most active in the Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary of the G.A.R., of which her husband was time and time again named to head as commander of Walker post. She was a great favorite in the neighborhood where the family homestead stood for many years and many people of the city well remember her kindness in making her home their home. Mother of Judge Schmidt Mrs. Schmidt was the mother of five children, all of whom survive, being Municipal Judge A.H. Schmidt, Mrs. F.C. Borcherdt, Jr., and Miss Mathilda of Manitowoc, William F. and Mrs. Orville Stinson of Portland, Oregon. She is also survived by three grandsons and a
sister, Mrs. Rose Bodden of Milwaukee. Funeral services will be held from the family home at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon with the Rev. William Hood officiating. Interment
will take place at Evergreen."
