Information on Father Schmidt:
"Father Joseph Schmidt assumed charge of the church, and is now the priest. He was born in the Province of Westphalia, Germany, December 16, 1845, and when but fifteen years of age began preparation for the priesthood, receiving orders in the year 1870. He immigrated to America in September, 1869, and first had charge of a congregation at St. Johns, Franklin Co., Mo. He then was transferred to Cape Girardeau, Mo., afterward to River aux Vases, St. Genevieve County, and later to Taos, Cole County, where he is now situated. There is a school in connection with the church, which is doing good work and is thriving; a secular male teacher has charge of it, teaching ten months in the year." ~ Cole County Bios - a genweb project
