From The Bryan Democrat, November 1, 1888
PLEASANT SURPRISE
On Tuesday evening of last week [October 23rd, according to perpetual calendar] Mr. and Mrs. Benj. SCHMACHTENBERGER were agreeably surprised at their home four miles southeast of Bryan by a large number of friends and relatives, the event being the sixty-eighth anniversary of Mrs. S's birthday. The evening was very pleasantly spent and an elegant repast was served. A number of beautiful and useful presents were presented in a neat presentation speech by Mr. C. H. BEARDSLEE.
His first wife died on October 14, 1889, and he later married Johanna Griener, a widow, of Richland county, O., and she survived him, passing the closing years of her life in Michigan. No children were born of the second marriage, and of the seven children of the first union only two are living. The names of the children are here entered in order of birth: Cleophas, Adolph, Rudolph, Ada, Samuel and Simon (twins), and Ida.

Regarding Benjamin: In 1846, he came to Williams county and secured a quarter section of wild and heavily timbered land in section 33, Pulaski township, no roads having as yet been constructed in this now beautiful and opulent section of the county. After thus locating his embryonic farm he returned to Stark county, where he was shortly afterward married, and in 1847 he came with his young wife to Williams county and took up his residence in Bryan. [This account varies with the International Genealogical Index and the county marriage records, by one year.]
