    Naturalized in Will County, IL on September 8, 1871.

    On the marriage certificate, Christian is listed as John Smith. He was also listed as John Smith in the 1860 census records for Lawrence County, IL, Christy Township:

    John Smith, 28 years old, born in Germany, farmer, with 30 acres.
    Christina, 20 years old, born in IL
    Mary 4 months old, born in IL

    The 1870 census records, Scott County, MN

    Christian Smith is there with his wife and children, listed as a carpenter born in Prussia.

    1880 census records:
    St. Clair County, Lebanon, IL

    Christian Smith, 49, born in Prussia, both parents born in Prussia, carpenter
    Christina, 39, born in IL, father born PA, mother born Ohio

    George, born Nov 1872 MN
    Christopher, born 4/1877 MN
    Rosa, born11/1883 MN

    Obviously, the children could not have all been born in MN, most if not all of them were actually born in IL. In the 1880 census records when their mother Christina was still alive, more accurate place of birth was given for the children. Notice that the name varies between Schmidt and Smith.

    Christian and his family lived in Will Co, IL for a while, then moved to Scott County, MN where some of his siblings were, then moved back to Will Co for a while and then back to Scott County. Perhaps Christian was considering staying permanantly in MN but couldn't find work, it is not clear why they moved back and forth so much.

    Belleville Weekly Advocate, Page 5, Col. 3, April 24, 1908:

Funeral services will be held at the German Evangelical church in Lebanon on Friday, April 17, at 2 p.m. under the direction of the Masonic lodge. Interment at College Hill cemetery. Friends of the family respectfully invited to attend.

    This is a story about the living quarters of the
    Schmidt family that was done as an interview on April
    1979: Kathy Quarti granddaughter was interviewing Rose
    Mary Schmidt Kelly Hull at Arkansas Nursing Home in
    Little Rock, Ark. about early childhood and family
    memories.

    "We lived in a long house on Hexabuckle (Lebanon, Ill
    area) and everyone stayed there. Dad didn't build it.
    It was already built when we moved in. Brother George
    lived in a room by himself, but, he never married.
    Sister Elizabeth and husband lived there too. My other
    brothers and sisters stayed together in the other
    rooms. No we didn't have any grandparents that lived
    with us. Hester lived in 4 rooms at one end.
    We had a large apple tree in our front yard and when
    the boys would pass by it they would throw cow dung at
    it so we called it the "apple shit tree."
    Next door neighbors were Lindsey, Brown, Raushe or
    Roesch (sp?)
    We had a summer kitchen (to cook all meals) Had a
    stove that would smoke. Emma put some coal oil on it
    to make the fire better and it blew up and threw her
    back against the side of the kitchen.

    Kate and me were making jelly and something fell from
    the top of the warming oven and hit me on the top of
    the head. I still have a hole in my head even now.
    (Dad Christian) Old man Schmidt- they called him. All
    knew him and he worked in the mine, on the Railroad,
    and helped to build a bridge in Lebanon across the
    creek. (Before he started the saloon)
    (Christian Schmidt owned a saloon at Whiskey Flats. It
    apparently catered to the base ball players in St.
    Louis-- see the sign for the saloon in the picture
    where Christian Schmidt and Joseph Weber are standing
    outside and it states BASEBALL HEADQUARTERS. Picture
    was taken about 1900 and this was when the sport of
    baseball was just getting popular.)

    I was stuck on one of the ball players. Will
    something. When the ball players played ball at
    Lebanon from St. Louis. (they would frequent the
    saloon.) I cooked dinner for them at the tavern. I
    cooked potatoes with jackets (skins) on them all the
    time. Brother George would crab (she raised her voice
    to be derisive) "I have to work hard at work all day
    and then come home and work more at peeling potatoes."
    George was crabby like dad was.

    Father spoke German all the time until he got a
    certain age and then learned English. (Grandma spoke
    some but, very little) I wanted to take German
    lessons, but, father said no I didn't need to know
    what was going on in Germany.

    When I was born no one wanted me. They all said I was
    "so ugly" and had long black hair. (she had dark brown
    hair even to very old age 90+ She died at 96yr. age)
    Father had black hair, but, it turned Gray.
    Brothers and father would hunt at Hester's house in
    Summerfield and we would have rabbit and chicken.
    Mother was crazy about Buff-Coachens (type of chicken
    they must have raised) We also had a horse and spring
    buggy.

    Belle Whitenmier was my teacher. I only went to 3rd.
    grade. According to Rosa's daughter, Rosemary Rita Hull, this was due to
    her mom's death and the need for a 9-10 yr. old to
    stay at home to help with housework.
    My school was brick and I passed the catholic school
    on my way. I always wanted to know what it was like.
    Was good at Geography and writing/ reading. (her
    handwriting was beautiful for no more formal education
    other than 3rd. grade-- much better than mine) I
    walked 10 blocks to school when we lived on
    Hexabuckle. We moved to Whiskey Flats when mom died.
    Father started the saloon then. Father lost his first
    wife on the boat coming over from Germany. She was
    buried at sea. Father and mother (Christina Geins)
    married at Summerfield. Father was supposed have been
    Catholic but, he never went to church. I never went to
    church. Us kids never went to church. I went to the
    Methodist church 1-2 times only.

    Brother Chris was sweet on one of the Roesch (sp?)
    girls and everyone was surprised when he married Bert.

    Mary bought the cemetery lot at Lebanon (because one
    of her children died) 12yr. old burned to death. Sat
    on the hearth of the stove to put shoes and stockings
    on and gown caught fire and burned to death. (This is in reference to the death of Mollie.)

    Father was all for himself. Sister Liz and Em did
    biggest part of the cooking. Em was a good cook.
    George and Christ worked in the mine and John a
    little. I didn't like George. He watched me like a
    snake. When I would sneak out at night I knew that
    George would be waiting for me at the gate when I got
    back. I could put things over on father because he was
    so old, but, not George.

    John married a woman by the name of Engleman.
    My mom died at (the house on Hexabuckle) home.
    We had a sled and brother made it. We had good times
    on it. Christ and father used a horse and buggy to go
    up town to the saloon. Father would go to St. Louis
    and be gone all day. I would have to open the keg of
    beer all by myself. I busted it open.

    Father had a saloon on one side of the street and
    bought the fellow out across the street in the other
    saloon. Charlie Normer had a place on Hexabuckle St.
    that father bought for home place. George helped pay
    for it. Borrowed money from George to help pay for it.
    (not sure here if she ment saloon or home. but, as a
    child she lived above the saloon so it could have been
    one and the same.)

    Rose Mary Schmidt Hull in "Arkansas
    Nursing" home June 1 1979. Interviewed by her grand
    daughter Kathy Baker Quarti. (Grandma was in the
    nursing home and I worked there as RN)
    "My father cooked- baked bread- learned all in Germany
    when he was in war- Was not 't in service here in US
    as he said he had enough war at home in Germany. (not
    sure the last 1/2 of that statement is correct.

    I took my lunch to school. I'll never forget bread and
    butter. Father made lunch for me. He said all you need
    is bread and butter. He gave me hamburger cheese,
    (don't know what that is)but, all the kids wanted some
    and I had to divide with them. I never got much for
    myself."







    Came to the US with his father and sibs on the Harriet Hoxie on 6/22/1857.

    Listed as carpenter on death certificate. Cause of death: atrophy of left lobe of liver following hypertrophy.

    According to the descendants of Rosa Schmidt, Christian was married in Germany and his wife died on the boat on the trip to the US. Christian supposedly served in the military in Germany, possibly as a cook.

    Naturalized in Will County, IL on September 8, 1871.

    On the marriage certificate, Christian is listed as John Smith. He was also listed as John Smith in the 1860 census records for Lawrence County, IL, Christy Township:

    John Smith, 28 years old, born in Germany, farmer, with 30 acres.
    Christina, 20 years old, born in IL
    Mary 4 months old, born in IL

    The 1870 census records, Scott County, MN

    Christian Smith is there with his wife and children, listed as a carpenter born in Prussia.

    1880 census records:
    St. Clair County, Lebanon, IL

    Christian Smith, 49, born in Prussia, both parents born in Prussia, carpenter
    Christina, 39, born in IL, father born PA, mother born Ohio
    Mary, 21, born IL
    John, 15, born IL
    Catharina, 13, born IL
    Annie, 10, born IL
    George, 9, born IL
    Elizabeth, 7, born IL
    Hester, 5, born IL
    Christopher, 4, born MN
    Emma J, 2, born IL

    5 of the 9 children living at home were listed as having measles.

    No 1890 census records available.

    1900 census records:
    St. Clair County, Lebanon, IL

    Christian Schmidt, born Oct 1831 Germany, both parents born Germany, widowed, saloon keeper, rents house.
    George, born Nov 1872 MN
    Christopher, born 4/1877 MN
    Rosa, born11/1883 MN

    Obviously, the children could not have all been born in MN, most if not all of them were actually born in IL. In the 1880 census records when their mother Christina was still alive, more accurate place of birth was given for the children. Notice that the name varies between Schmidt and Smith.

    Christian and his family lived in Will Co, IL for a while, then moved to Scott County, MN where some of his siblings were, then moved back to Will Co for a while and then back to Scott County. Perhaps Christian was considering staying permanantly in MN but couldn't find work, it is not clear why they moved back and forth so much.

    Belleville Weekly Advocate, Page 5, Col. 3, April 24, 1908:

    The funeral of Christian Schmidt who died at the home of William Villard Tuesday, April 14, at the age of 76 years, took place Friday afternoon from the German Evangelical Church to College Hill cemetery under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge.

Funeral services will be held at the German Evangelical church in Lebanon on Friday, April 17, at 2 p.m. under the direction of the Masonic lodge. Interment at College Hill cemetery. Friends of the family respectfully invited to attend.

    This is a story about the living quarters of the
    Schmidt family that was done as an interview on April
    1979: Kathy Quarti granddaughter was interviewing Rose
    Mary Schmidt Kelly Hull at Arkansas Nursing Home in
    Little Rock, Ark. about early childhood and family
    memories.

    "We lived in a long house on Hexabuckle (Lebanon, Ill
    area) and everyone stayed there. Dad didn't build it.
    It was already built when we moved in. Brother George
    lived in a room by himself, but, he never married.
    Sister Elizabeth and husband lived there too. My other
    brothers and sisters stayed together in the other
    rooms. No we didn't have any grandparents that lived
    with us. Hester lived in 4 rooms at one end.
    We had a large apple tree in our front yard and when
    the boys would pass by it they would throw cow dung at
    it so we called it the "apple shit tree."
    Next door neighbors were Lindsey, Brown, Raushe or
    Roesch (sp?)
    We had a summer kitchen (to cook all meals) Had a
    stove that would smoke. Emma put some coal oil on it
    to make the fire better and it blew up and threw her
    back against the side of the kitchen.

    Kate and me were making jelly and something fell from
    the top of the warming oven and hit me on the top of
    the head. I still have a hole in my head even now.
    (Dad Christian) Old man Schmidt- they called him. All
    knew him and he worked in the mine, on the Railroad,
    and helped to build a bridge in Lebanon across the
    creek. (Before he started the saloon)
    (Christian Schmidt owned a saloon at Whiskey Flats. It
    apparently catered to the base ball players in St.
    Louis-- see the sign for the saloon in the picture
    where Christian Schmidt and Joseph Weber are standing
    outside and it states BASEBALL HEADQUARTERS. Picture
    was taken about 1900 and this was when the sport of
    baseball was just getting popular.)

    I was stuck on one of the ball players. Will
    something. When the ball players played ball at
    Lebanon from St. Louis. (they would frequent the
    saloon.) I cooked dinner for them at the tavern. I
    cooked potatoes with jackets (skins) on them all the
    time. Brother George would crab (she raised her voice
    to be derisive) "I have to work hard at work all day
    and then come home and work more at peeling potatoes."
    George was crabby like dad was.

    Father spoke German all the time until he got a
    certain age and then learned English. (Grandma spoke
    some but, very little) I wanted to take German
    lessons, but, father said no I didn't need to know
    what was going on in Germany.

    When I was born no one wanted me. They all said I was
    "so ugly" and had long black hair. (she had dark brown
    hair even to very old age 90+ She died at 96yr. age)
    Father had black hair, but, it turned Gray.
    Brothers and father would hunt at Hester's house in
    Summerfield and we would have rabbit and chicken.
    Mother was crazy about Buff-Coachens (type of chicken
    they must have raised) We also had a horse and spring
    buggy.

    Belle Whitenmier was my teacher. I only went to 3rd.
    grade. According to Rosa's daughter, Rosemary Rita Hull, this was due to
    her mom's death and the need for a 9-10 yr. old to
    stay at home to help with housework.
    My school was brick and I passed the catholic school
    on my way. I always wanted to know what it was like.
    Was good at Geography and writing/ reading. (her
    handwriting was beautiful for no more formal education
    other than 3rd. grade-- much better than mine) I
    walked 10 blocks to school when we lived on
    Hexabuckle. We moved to Whiskey Flats when mom died.
