  	"Uncle Louis", as he was known by family and friends, was actually born Ludvig Carl Balthasar Schmidt April 6, 1853 in Braubach,Hessen-Nassau Province, Germany to Friedrich Wilhelm Ludvig and Anna Marie Ackermann Schmidt (the headstone info is incorrect). Louis came to the US at age 14 to meet his father, who was a successful mining engineer in Missouri. By the time Louis arrived, elder Schmidt was headed home to Germany due to illness. Louie was never to see his father again. Soon Louis teamed up with his older brother, Leo, to travel to the gold fields in Montana. When the gold played out, Louis took a job with the Wells Fargo delivering mail from Deer Lodge, MT to Ogden, UT. Leo developed an interest in the science of brewing (at school in Worms, Germany). Soon after, both boys brought brides home from Germany to Montana. Louis spent from 1882 to 1904 (had been Mayor of Tumwater in 1904) working with and for his older brother, Leopold F. Schmidt, in the brewing industry. Louis changed his life's focus to gentleman farmer on Hope Island, WA . There, he raised 3 children (all born in MT) with his wife, Clara Julia Esperstedt. When Clara died in 1911, he went to live with his daughter until his death in 1919.
