169 From Portrait and Biographical Album of Des Moines County, Iowa. Chicago, Acme Publishing, 1888.
Rev. Jacob Schmeiser, residing on section 26, Benton Township, Des Moines Co., Iowa, was born March 6, 1827, and is a son of Henry Jacob and Blondine (Fieg) Schmeiser, who were natives of Germany, where the father was owner of a vineyard and farmer. They were both members of the Lutheran Church, and reared a family of eight children, of which our subject is the fifth in order of birth. Two of this number are deceased, three are yet residents of Germany, and two are living in this country, viz: Our subject; and Margaret, wife of Herman Langewort, of Burlington, Iowa.

Our subject was educated at the Missionary Institute of Basel, Switzerland, from which he graduated in 1853, and was then ordained as a minister of the Lutheran Church. He was then sent to St. Louis, where he spent three months as Pastor of thhe Fifteenth Street Church. In September of the same year he went to Burlington, where he preached for a few weeks. He was first assigned to the church at Franklin Mills, and during the time he was Pastor there, he also preached at Pleasant Grove and Latty. His next charge was Latty, exclusively, where he remained for eight years, after which he was at Mendota, Ill., for six months. Returning to Iowa, he was employed at Danville until 1882, when he removed to his present home on section 26, Benton Township, where he bought 224 acres of land, and since the time of his location in that township he has preached at the St. Paul Church, which is situated on section 22, also conducting a Sunday-school of twenty-five members, the membership of the church being about twenty families. In connection with his church duties, Mr. Schmeiser manages his own farm, having all the best improvements and most modern conveniences.

In May, 1856, Rev. Mr. Schneiser and Miss Magdalene Ries, a native of St. Clair County, Ill., born in 1837, were united in marriage, and ten children have graced their union: Henry Jacob, born April 18, 1857, is a mechanic, residing at Burlington; Charles Frederick, born Nov. 18, 1858, is engaged in farming near Franklin Mills, Des Moines County; Lydia, born Aug. 22, 1860; Theophilus, Sept. 23, 1862; Thobitha, Sept. 14, 1864 (last three are still inmates of the paternal home); Emma, born Oct. 30, 1866, is the wife of Adam Miller, of Benton Township; Talitha, born Nov. 6, 1870; Emanuel, Sept. 16, 1872; Joseph, Feb. 10, 1876; and Benjamin, April 19, 1868, are still residing at home.

In politics Mr. Schmeiser is a Democrat. He is a man that stands well in the community where he resides, and enjoys the love and respect of all. A fine view of his home is given in connection with this brief biography.
