Obituary says: "His parents were Valentine and Walburga (Figlesthaler) Schmieder"

August Schmieder, a well known mechanic long resident in Chillicothe, is a native of Baden, Germany, born on June 14, 1839. His parents were Valentine and Walburga (Figlesthaler) Schmieder, both natives of Baden, where they were married and spent their lives. The father was a wagon maker and it was with him that his son August learned his trade. Valentine Schmieder died when he was seventy-three years old and his wife at about the age of sixty-seven. Their family consisted of three sons and two daughters, four of whom are still living. William is a wood worker in the employ of his brother; Pauline, one of the sisters, is in Germany, and Bertha is living in Wichita, has., both being married. August Schmieder came to Chillicothe on July 7, 1857, and has since then been engaged continuously in his present business. He began on a small scale, confining himself chiefly to repairing; but pluck and perseverance were rewarded, the business growing steadily until it was necessary to take in more help. At the present time he gives employment to nine or ten men, owns two large brick buildings, one just completed and used for a repository, office and trimming shop. In 1862 he enlisted as a member of Company G, Twenty-eighth Ohio infantry, and served over three years at the front, taking part in numerous battles and skirmishes in western Virginia, including the engagements at Piedmont and New Market, and during Hunter's long march to and from Lynchburg, Va. He incurred disabilities in the service, for which he has been pensioned by the government. May 2, 1867, he was married to Jane Johanna Benner, a native of Chillicothe, born in the house where she always lived and where she met. her death in 1894 at the age of forty-seven years. She was the mother of four children, of whom three are living, Elizabeth, the first born, having died in infancy. Henry W., the only son, is employed as book-keeper and general overseer in his father's business and is unmarried. He received his education in the schools of Chillicothe and at the Scioto business college. The daughters are Anna and Ella, the former being the wife of Edward J. Herrnstein, of Chillicothe. The other two children are at home, making a happy and contented family. Mr. Schmieder is not a member of any social organization except the Eintracht Singing society. He has been very prosperous since coming to America and his accumulations are almost entirely the result of his own efforts.
