  • Notes 
    • Mr. Lorentz Schmidt

      Lorentz Schmidt was born in Wilmot township, March 13th, 1859, the son of the late Valentine Schmidt and his wife, Mary Koch, and passed to his eternal reward early Friday morning, October 16th, 1931, at the age of 72 years, 7 months and 8 days. On November 11th, 1885, he was happily married to Veronica Wilhelm, making their home on the farm where he was born, now occupied by his son, Milton. Nearly ten years ago he removed to his home on Jacob Street, New Hamburg, where he died. He is survived by his sorrowing wife, two sons, Milton, on the homestead, and Edison at home, and one daughter, Edna (Mrs. Herman Snyder) of Lisbon. A sister, Mrs. Samuel Axt, and a brother, Mr. George P. Schmidt, of Philipsburg, are the two remaining members of Mr. Schmidt's family, though one brother and two sisters predeceased him.

      Mr. Lorentz Schmidt accepted Christ and untied with the Baptist church, worshipping in the Philipsburg Church and later in the New Hamburg Church where he was always regular in his attendance. He was appointed a deacon and also superintendent of the Home Department of the Sunday School, in both of these capacities he labored very faithfully and was ready in every way to advance the cause of the Master whom he loved and served. As a friend and neighbor he will be ever remembered as one who was honest and upright in his dealings and always anxious to lend a helping hand. As a husband and father he has proved himself to be a wise counsellor, patient helpmate and loyal companions. As a man of Christ like character he has won the esteem of all who knew him because he lived by the help of his Saviour, the life he professed. Family, friends and church rise up to speak in loving terms of this servant of God who being dead yet speaketh.
