    Obituary
    Obituary of Christian Schmitt
    Belle Plaine Herald, March 10, 1938
    REMAINS OF CHRIST SCHMITT BROUGHT HERE FOR FUNERAL
    Very unexpected was the news of the death in St. Paul last Friday of Christian L. Schmitt, a native son of Belle Plaine. Death was due to hardening of the arteries. He had not been ill very long, and no one realized the end was so near. His age was 66.
    Christian Lawrence Schmitt was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schmitt, and he was born in Belle Paine December 11, 1872. Here he grew to manhood and married Maud Nichols, daughter of former post master W. H. Nichols. Chris had learned the lumber trade under F. J. Whitlock and that business became his lifework. He managed a yard in Belle Plaine for a time, then took over a yard in Waubay, S. D. , and later at Moose Jaw, Sask., Canada, where the family spent a long period of years. About eleven years ago he and his family returned to Minnesota and took up their residence in St. Paul where he remained until his death.
    Surviving him are his widow and the following children: Alfred Schmitt at Saskatoon,Sask.; Mrs. W. M. Green at Wilkie, Sask.; Mrs. A. Gehrmann, Mrs. Wm. Fischer, Helen, Genevieve and William Schmitt of St. Paul. There are nine grandchildren. He also leaves six sisters and three brothers; namely: Mrs. Frank Monzel, Mrs. Robert Mullen, Mrs. Alma Topping, Elizabeth, Angela, Jack and William Schmitt of St. Paul; Joseph E. Schmitt of Belle Plaine, and Mrs. Fred Gericke of Gary, Indiana.
    His remains were brought to Belle Plaine Sunday afternoon to the home of his brother, J. E. Schmitt, and the funeral services were conducted Monday morning at Sts. Peter and Paul's church, Father Godfrey officiating. Interment was in the family lot of the parish cemetery beside the grave of a daughter who preceded him in death. Pallbearers were Paul Backes, Phil Boor, Peter Ince, Al Blaha, W. Weldon and Wm. Tritz.
    Among those who were here for the funeral were Mrs. Christian Schmitt, Wm. Fischer and family, John, Helen, Genevieve, Angela and William Schmitt, Francis Byres, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Monzel, Frank Monzel Jr., Margaret Monzel, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Mullen and daughter Betty, Elisabeth Schmitt, Mrs. Alma Tapping, Mrs. Johanna Piveon, Mrs. Tom Garry, Mrs. Jos Albrecht and son Ervin, Mr. and Mrs. A. Gehrmann, from St. Paul. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Green and son from Wilkie, Sask.; George Nichols from Duluth, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sandon from Elmore, Mrs. Peter J. Schmitt, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Beckman, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Beckman and Wm. Hilgers from Jordan; Mrs. Clara Heywood of Minneapolis.
