It's online now at www.bcpl.net/~pely/1864/. There is an August Schmidtman listed and he is the only Schmidtman- so it should be a good lead... There are many Arthurs listed. The directory give occupation and address so if you know what neighborhood they grew up in, you may be able to make a connection.
