Mrs. Minnie Schmuhl died at the home of her son Frank Schmuhl in Fairwater,
May 3, after a short illness, aged 80 years. Funeral services were held on
the Monday following. Mrs. Schmuhl is survived by five sons and one
daughter. She was a sister of the late Fred Heidel of Brandon. Those
attending the funeral from here were H. D. Pleuss and family, and Mrs. Fred
Heidel.

Postnote: This is my gr-gr-grandmother. The obituary did not mention some
of the following information: She was baptized Jacobine Heidel in 1838 in
Germany. A researcher in Germany located her church marriage record which
states: "Johann Christian Martin Schmuhl, age 28, worker in Unnode, married
on 28 Mar. 1863 in Kartlow - virgin Jacobine Leonore Marie (called
Wilhelmine) Heydel, age 24 1/2, daughter of the foreman from
Wilhelminenthal - Carl Christoph Heydel (#2/1863) remark: The young couple
want to go after Easter with his parents to America."

In Fairwater she and her husband were known as: John and Minnie Schmuhl.
The children surviving her are sons: Frank, William, John, Edward and
Henry. Her daughter is: Louise (Schmuhl) Nest.
