Schmidt, Henry, merchant, was born in Mecklenburg, December 19, 1844, and
came with his parents to West Albany township, this county, in 1864. He
was one of six children born to Henry and Mary (Henning) Schmidt,
deceased. The first few years of his residence here were spent at various
employments, and in 1871 he moved to Lake City. His first business venture
was the establishment of a bakery, in partnership with C. Kuhn. One year
later Mr. Schmidt secured entire control, and continued the business until
1877, when he formed a partnership with Mr. Kemp, and opened a line of
general merchandise, on the corner of Washington and Center streets. From
this stand they were driven by the fire of 1882, but soon afterward
established themselves in their present quarters on Center street, He was
