He is descended from a German family of distinguished ancestry and has inherited all of those sterling qualities which mark the German citizens of this country. He is a young man of high civic ideals and is manifesting his liberality in connection with measures and enterprises tending to advance the moral welfare of the community honored by his residence. Although still a young man, he gives much promise for the future, judging by his record in the past, and in the years to come much more may be looked for from him. Henry Schmitz, the son of William and Josepha (Kirchoff) Schmitz, was born in 1883 in Westphalia township, in this county. His parents were both natives of Germany, having been born in that country in 1852. When William Schmitz came to this country with his parents in 1868 he was about sixteen years of age. The family settled in Freeport, Illinois. About two years later the Schmitz family moved to Shelby county and purchased land in Westphalia township. William Schmitz is now retired from active farm life and is living in Westphalia, Iowa. Henry Schmitz is one of nine children born to his parents, seven of whom are still living. He remained on the farm with his father until he was twenty~seven years of age, and then, upon the retirement of his father to Westphalia, he rented one of his father's farms in Lincoln township and has since been managing it in a way to indicate that he is a man of more than ordinary ability. He keeps graded stock of all kinds and in 1913 had four hundred head of hogs on the farm. He feeds as much live stock as he can handle and finds this a valuable adjunct to crop raising. Mr. Schmitz was married on May 2, 1911, to Mary Kramer, who was born at Earling, this county, in 1888. To this union have been born three children, one who died in infancy, and Stella and Lillian, the later of whom are still at home with their parents. Politically, Mr. Schmitz is a Democrat, but as yet has taken no active part in political affairs beyond exercising the common right of suffrage, being concerned chiefly with the administration of his agricultural duties. Religiously, he and his wife are loyal members of the Catholic church and contribute of their means to its support at all times. Mr. Schmitz manifests an abiding regard for the advancement and welfare of his community and for every measure and enterprise by which his fellow men may be benefited. He encourages churches and schools and is a respecter of law and order, having no use for or sympathy with any calling which tends to lower the moral status of the country or degrade the youth of the land. Such a man always stands for the best interests of his fellow citizens, and such men are eminently worthy of representation in this volume. From 1915 Past and Present of Shelby County, Iowa
