On November 12, 1922 she was married to Carl W. Schmidt of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They made their home in Abbotsford until four years ago when they moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The past two years of Mrs. Schmidt’s life were spent there in a nursing home where she died on a Tuesday, following two strokes suffered the previous Thursday.

Mrs. Schmidt was a member of the Lutheran church in the Town of Holton and was one of the organizers and a charter member of Christ Evangelical Lutheran church.

She is survived by her husband, C. W. Schmidt, two daughters, Mrs. John Gardner, Ashland, and Mrs. Mildred Kelty, Seattle, Wash. There are five step-daughters, two stepsons, four grandchildren and two great grand children.
