The last Kewaunee county survivor of Company E, Fourteenth, Wisconsin, which marched from Atlanta to the sea with Sherman is gone.
Henry Schmiling, who enlisted for the Civil war as a boy not quite 17 years old, died at his home here Friday, July 10, about 3:30 a.m. Funeral services from the M.E. church, was conducted by the Rev Thomas Austin at 2 p.m.
He was born in Pommerania, Germany, May 4, 1845. As a boy 12 years old he came to America with his parents who settled on a farm in Ahnapee town where Carl Schmiling now lives.
Henry was not quite 17 years old when the call for Civil war volunteers came. Two rigs, carrying sixteen men, journeyed from here to Green Bay with Ahnapee's volunteers for Company E Fourteenth Wisconsin. He was discharged from service Oct 9, 1865 at Mobile, Alabama, after almost two years service. His discharge issued in 1865 bears the following remark written across the top: Engaged at the Siege of Atlanta. He was also with Sherman on the march to the sea.
After his return from the War, Mr. Schmiling was engaged in the brewery business in a building where the Net factory stands. Later he was superintendent of the county farm for fourteen years, and served as street commissioner at Algoma for some time.
He married Miss Rosa Kessner, Feb 20, 1867, at Forestville, with R. G. Kumm officiating. He is survived by his widow, and by four children, Mrs. George McCosky and Mrs. Micheal Wenniger, Algoma, and by two sons, Otto, Two Rivers, and Clarence, Algoma.
