She had been in poor health the past two and a half years, and her death was not unexpected. On November 2, 1947, she sustained a broken hip and spent nine weeks in the hospital.

Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt lived on farms in Gage and Johnson counties. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in March of 1942. Soon after this, the health of Mr. Schmidt began to fail and he departed from this world on July 11 of that year.
Mrs. Schmidt moved to Sterling in the fall of 1944, and lived here until called from this life. She was a splendid wife and mother, and a kind, considerate neighbor and friend.
Surviving are her five sons, Albert of Beatrice, Brunke of Greenfield. Ia., William of Cook, and Henry and Raymond of Sterling. There also are 22 grandchildren; 13 great grandchildren; six brothers, Fred and William Meints of Sterling, Kress Meints of Oskaloosa.
