Jakob B. Schmidt, Sohn von Bernhard und Maria Heerfurth Schmidt ward am 6. Juli 1878 in Marion County, Kansas geboren. Als sein ältester Bruder starb mußte er bei der Farmarbeit helfen und konnte infolgedessen nicht so die Schule besuchen wie er gerne gewollt hätte in der Antioch Schule. Am 3. Juni 1900 ward er auf sein Bekenntnis von Aelt. Peter Balzer getauft und Glied der Alexanderwohl Gemeinde. Am 24. Mai 1908 heiratete er Helena Ens. Die glückliche Ehe wurde mit 3 Söhne und 3 Töchter gesegnet, wovon eine Tochter von 7 Jahren starb. Der Heimgerufene war bei guter Gesundheit bis 1941 als er durch Influenza geschwächt wurde. Ein plötzlicher Herzschlag verursachte seinen so unerwarteten Tod am 14. Mai 1945 um 5 Uhr nachmittags. Er wurde 66 J. 10 M. und 8 Tage alt und hinterläßt seine Gattin, Bernhard und Isaak Schmidt, Hillsboro, Kans.; Anna, Frau Nick Fehdrau, Buhler; Ernst Schmidt, Daggett, Calif.; einen Schwiegersohn, 2 Schwiergertöchter [sic Schwiegertöcher], 3 Enkel, 3 Brüder, 2 Schwestern und viele Freunde. Er war ein großer Kinderfreund. Begräbnis Texte: C. C. Wedel, Joh. 11:25 - 26; Phil. A. Wedel, Ps. 31.20.
“Paradies, Paradies!
Wie ist deine Frucht so süß!
Unter deinen Lebensbäumen
Wird uns sein als ob wir träumen —
Bring uns, Herr, ins Paradies!”
