Biography

Maria was born in 1869. She was the daughter of George Gheringher and Eva Sebald.

The 1880 Census[1] shows her at age 10 in the home of her parents in Bay County, Michigan.

She married George Frederick "Fred" Schmidt on 18 Aug 1889 in Frankenlust, Bay County, Michigan.[2] Their children:

  1. Minnie Schmidt (1890–Deceased)
  2. Gustav Edward Schmidt (1891–1963)
  3. Clara Marie Schmidt (1893–1973)
  4. Olga Frederica Schmidt (1896–1905)
  5. Emil Friedrich Schmidt (1897–1971)
  6. Martin Henry Schmidt (1898–1938)
  7. Moritz Schmidt (1901–1979)
  8. Lora M Schmidt (1903–Deceased)

The 1900 Census[3] shows her at age 31 with her husband and six children in Frankenlust Township, Bay County, Michigan.

Her husband Fred Schmidt died in 1904.

She married subsequently to Leonard Halter on 1 Apr 1907 in Amelith, Bay County, Michigan.[4] [5] This was his first marriage. It does not appear that they had children.

The 1910 Census[6] shows Mary at age 40 with her husband and five children from her previous marriage in Frankenlust Township, Bay County, Michigan. She is the mother of 8 children with 7 still living.

The 1920 Census[7] shows her at age 50 with her husband and one daughter from her previous marriage in Frankenlust Township, Bay County, Michigan.

Both the 1930 Census,[8] at age 60, and the 1940 Census,[9] at age 70, show Maria with her husband in Bay City, Bay County, Michigan.

She died in 1942,[10] and is buried at the Fremont Cemetery in Bay County, Michigan. [11]
