HENRY J. SCHMUHL. Although quite young, this gentleman is becoming well known 
in New Lenox Township as a farmer of ability and a citizen of the most 
honorable character. He owns one hundred and twenty acres of good land on 
sections 22 and 23, where he is industriously and successfully prosecuting the 
career to which his taste led him, and where good buildings and other 
improvements are to be seen. He is the second of five children born to Henry 
and Mary (Kitzerow) Schmuhl, who came to this neighborhood in the spring of 
1854. Both were natives of Germany, the one having been born July 6, and the 
other August 13, in the year 1826. Beside our subject their family includes 
Ida M., Charles, William and Emma. The gentleman of whom we write has been a 
life resident of New Lenox Township, in which he was born October 10, 1859. He 
enjoyed the school privileges by which a good practical education is insured 
to all who desire to learn, and in the public schools became well informed in 
the ordinary branches. He remained with his father until his marriage, when he 
established his own household on the farm which he still occupies. Among the 
natives of his own township, Mr. Schmuhl knew many estimable ladies, but none 
who were so attractive to him as Miss Henrietta Schoop. His regard for this 
young lady being reciprocated they were united in marriage February 8, 1883. 
Mrs. Schmuhl was born December 15, 1863, and is the elder of two children 
comprising the family of Christoph and Caroline (Stricher) Schoop. Her parents 
were born in Germany and her father died in this township May 9, 1882. The 
happy union of our subject and his estimable wife has been blessed by the 
birth of three children —Alma C., Elsa I. and Erwin C. Both Mr. and Mrs. 
Schmuhl belong to the German Lutheran Church. He is a stanch Republican.
