Mary Mildred Gillett was the daughter of Truman A Gillett and Mary Adelaide Barnes.

She moved with her family to the Town of Rolling, Langlade County, about 1879, when her uncle Solomon Barnes took a homestead there.

She married Herman Heinrich Schroeder, the son of Carl Friedrich Schroeder, who was a neighbor of Truman A Gillett.

The couple had ten children, Lyman 1900-1906, Mary Prudence 1902-1902, Neal Meredith 1904, Winnifred 1907-1909, Tracy Gorden 1909, Mildred Adelaide 1910, Jessie Herman 1912, Lida Irene 1914, Frederick Julian 1918-1918, Mary Millie 1922-1922.

Mary's obituary say she was "buried beside her departed children in the Hall Pioneer Cemetery". But there are presently no matching gravestones at the cemetery.
