Trails index shows a: John Frederick Schmitt age 71 1964 12 5 Perhaps this is your Frederick Johann Schmitt. The names are very similiar and according to this John Frederick Schmitt's age of 71 when he died in 1964 he would have been born about 1893 which is also close to the year the man you are looking for was born. Getting this man's obit should prove if he is the man you are looking for. It is worth a try. Good luck! Yvonne
