Thanks to contributor #47035903; Adam Schmeid, veteran of the Civil War (Served with Co. F of the 38th WI Infantry during the Civil War per list of veteran burials in Nebraska. Lists him as Adam Schmied) and original owner of the present townsite of Clarkson, Colfax county, died Wednesday night at 11:30 at his late home in Columbus, Ninth street and Twenty-fourth avenue. Death followed a prolonged illness with a complication of ailments. Definite arrangements for the funeral have not been made, but it probably will be held at the home Sunday afternoon. The service will be conducted by Rev. R. Neumarker of the Evangelical Protestant church and an assisting clergyman. Mr. Schmeid was a native of Canton Glarus, Switzerland, where he was born April 2, 1843. While the civil war was in progress he came to America and located at Madison, Wis.

In 1879 they bought the old home place in the Shell Creek valley, eleven miles northwest of Columbus. There they lived and labored as pioneers and empire builders, reared their family and acquired a comfortable competence. Eight years ago they moved to Columbus. Mr. Schmeid is survived by four daughters and three sons. His wife died six years ago. The sons and daughters are Mrs. Samuel Gertsch, Mrs. Emil Klug, Mrs. Walter Pelter and Miss Mary Schmeid, Columbus; Matthew, Adam and Martin Schmeid.
