R. Mayer and O. G. Dale, Volume II, Illustrated; B. F. Bowen & Co. Inc. (1916) "Casper Schmieding, a well-known and substantial farmer of Arena township, Lac qui Parle county, proprietor of a fine farm of four hundred acres on rural route No. 3, out of Madison, and actively interested in the development of that part of the county, is a native of Germany, but has been a resident of the United States since he was eight years of age. He was born on a farm in Westphalia (Germany) May 16, 1850, son John and Elizabeth Schmieding, who came to this country with their family in 1858, landing at New Orleans, and proceeding on up the Mississippi river to Dubuque, Iowa. In the neighborhood of that city John Schmieding rented a tract of land for four years in the adjoining county of Delaware, where he bought eighty acres of school land, unbroken prairie, for two dollars and forty cents an acre. There he erected a small house, the lumber for which cost him forty dollars and the labor on the same, forty dollars, and established his home. He later bought an adjoining tract of forty acres, at five dollars the acres, and had his place well improved at the time of his death in 1870, he then being fifty-nine years of age. His widow survived him many years, her death occurring in Plymouth county, that same state, in 1904, she then being eighty-two years of age. They were members of the Catholic church and their children were reared in that faith. There were six of these children, of whom the subject of this sketch was the second in order of birth, the others being as follow: Theresa, who married Anton Krogman, of Delaware county, Iowa, and died on March 15, 1916; John, who married Mary Reinhlander and is living on a farm in Shelby county, Iowa; Elizabeth, widow of Bennett Niehaus, of South Dakota; Katherine, wife of John Oken, of Arcadia, Iowa, and Anna, wife of August Schaefer, of South Dakota." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * excerpt from bio of son, John Schmieding from 1915 PAST AND PRESENT OF SHELBY COUNTY IOWA BY EDWARD S. WHITE, B.A., LL.B. B.F. BOWEN & COMPANY, Inc. Indianapolis, Indiana pages 696 ~ 698 John Schmieding, the son of John and Elizabeth (Springer) Schmieding, was born in Westphalia, Germany, January 9, 1853. His parents were born, reared and married in Germany and lived there until 1858. In that year John Schmieding, Sr., and his family came to America and located in Delaware county, Iowa, on a farm. The sea voyage which was made by the Schmieding family when they came to America was an eventful one for the children and occupied the long and weary time of fifty~eight days in all. They set sail from Liverpool, England, after crossing the channel from the mainland early in the spring and eventually landed at New Orleans in the month of June. They then boarded a Mississippi river steamboat and went up the river, arriving at Delaware county, Iowa, on June 20, 1858. They lived with Conrad Wardeoff until the spring and then rented eight acres of land. The second year they rented fourteen acres and put it in crops for a Mr. Schultz, whose land was located seven miles northwest of Dyersville. In the spring of 1862 they were able to break up fourteen acres of their own land. This was the beginning of the fortunes of this German family in America. They were very poor when they first came here and practically every member of the family is now wealthy. After renting four years he bought a farm on which he lived until his death, July 9, 1870. John Schmieding and wife were the parents of eight children: Theresa, the wife of Anton Krogmann; Casper, who married Mary Phelsheim, and after her death, Josephine Mormann; John, with whom this narrative deals; Elizabeth, the wife of Barney Niehus; Katherine, the wife of John Ocken; Anna, the wife, of August Schafer, and two, Mary and Henry, who are deceased. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
