Although her parents had five children, only Dorothea and her brother Charles August survived into adulthood.

Two Schoenfeld siblings married two Schumaker siblings:
Dorothea married Paul Herman Schoenfield, the son of Johann Gottlieb Schoenfeld and Mathilde Michling Schoenfeld, in the Sublime Zion Lutheran Church on 9 Aug 1898 .
The following year, Dorothea's brother, Charles August Schumaker, married Paul's sister, Wilhelmina "Minnie" Schoenfield on 28 December 1899.

About 1912, the surname of "Schoenfeld" acquired an "i" and became "Schoenfield."

Dorothea and Paul were the parents of five children:
Olga, Clarence, twins Leo and Leonard, and Alvin.

About 1912, the family moved to Taiton in Wharton County, Texas where they continued to be engaged in farming and ranching.

On 25 November 1922, tragedy struck the family when Dorothea died from a stroke. She was only 42 years of age.
