August Smith

Following the death of his parents and two siblings from diptheria in 1862, August initially went to live with his mother's parents, August and Elizabeth Blake Dimmerling. When his uncle John Dimmerling married Elizabeth Kress in November 1864, they took in nine year old August Smith and raised him. (Researcher Roger Schockling obtained this information from conversations in the 1960s with Leo Jake Gerst, the youngest child of Philip and Mary Dimmerling Gerst.)

The 1870 census shows 14 year old Augustis Smith living as a farm laborer with the family of John and Elizabeth Dimmerling in Berne (later Carlisle), Stock Twp., Noble County. August did not attend school.

In 1880, 24 year old farmer August Smith lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his 18 year old wife Catherine. According to the census, Catherine Smith attended school that year. The census taker also wrote down that the Smiths had a 16 year old servant named Catherine Fogle, but then he crossed out that line. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to Louis Ritterbeck and Thomas Rogers.

The "Fulda" column of the Caldwell Citizens' Press stated on 30 Nov 1882:
August Schmitt, of Youngstown, is here on a visit, also attended the
wedding of his brother-in-law [John Scheetz].

On 25 Jan 1883, the Fulda column of The Caldwell Citizens' Press reported:
John Schultz [Scheetz] and August Schmitt [Smith] have returned
to Youngstown, after a stay of several weeks with their parents
and relatives.

Name in Ohio Online Death Certificate Index is spelled August Schmitt.


Catharina Scheetz

Records conflict on the spouse of Catherina Scheetz/Schutz. On page 225 of "St. Mary's -- 150 Years -- Fulda, OH" author Delores Snider indicates that Catherina married John Smith/Schmidt, son of Henry Smith/Scmitt. On page 193, Ms. Snider states that Catherina's husband was August Smith/Scmidt, the brother of John.

Robert Nault, posting on the Scheetz Family Genealogy Forum, indicates that August Schmidt is the husband of Catherina Scheetz. Researcher Carl Chuey also has Catherine Scheetz married to August Schmidt. This agrees with the 1880 census, which shows that August Smith's wife's name is Catherine.

Name in Ohio Online Death Certificate Index is spelled Catherine Schmit.


Joseph Drexler Schmidt

It is not known if Joseph Drexler Schmidt is the biological child of Catherine and August Schemidt. If so, his mother would have been 49 years old at the time of his birth.

The significance of his middle name is not known, although Catherine's nephew Ferdinand H. Scheetz married a woman whose maiden name was Drexler.


Mary F. Smith

In 1900, widow Mary Smith Shott lived in the household of her parents in Enoch Twp., Noble Co., OH. Mary did not have any children.
