E. Schmidt Passes Peacefully Away Following a Protracted Illness Emilie Schmidt, (nee Gassman) youngest daughter of Frederick and Wilhelmine Gassman, was born in Stephenson county, near Elroy, Illinois, on the 18th day of June 1864. She was baptized in infancy and confirmed in the Evangelical Salem church near Elroy. On the 4th of May,1887, she was united in marriage to Rev. Eugene Schmidt at Lena, Ill. This union was blessed with five children – Arthur of Beardstown, Ill; Mrs. Charles Vehmeier of Lena, Ill; Zelia at home; Paul, at Lutheran Theological Seminary, Maywood, Ill; Mrs. Gottfried Kempf of Chicago, all of whom survive and were present at the funeral, and with the husband and father are left to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and loving mother. She is also survive by five grandchildren - Luther and Marie Schmidt; Paul, Adelheid and Robert Vehmeier; and two brothers – Edward Gassman of Lena, Ill; and William Gassman of Dawson City, Klondike. The departed fell peacefully asleep in the Lord on Friday evening, October 26th, at 6:15 o’clock after an illness of seven years, aged 59 years, four months and eight days. She was a very loving wife and mother and will be missed very much. She bore her burdened illness without complaint and was always busy in carrying for her loved ones to the very last. “She had done what she could.” Her comforting words were – “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me; they rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Ten years ago she and her husband came to Postville to take charge of St. Paul’s Lutheran congregation and the duration of their stay is the best proof of their faithful ministrations. During her years of health she was as ardent in her labors for the upbuilding of the church as she was sincere in her Christian faith. She was a faithful wife and devoted mother, and the splendid family she has reared and given to the world is the most beautiful expression of her fine type of Christian womanhood. During her residence here such a noble type of woman naturally drew about her a large circle of appreciative and warm friends whose sympathy goes out in unstinted measure to those bound to her by a closer tie.
