August Schmeichel was born at Widendorf, Germany, Jan. 14, 1894. He came to the United States as a young man, living in Chicago two years and then moving to Richland County, where he settled on a farm north of town in Dwight Township.

He was a member of Immanuel Lutheran church and had served as a trustee many years.
He is survived by his wife and one son Everett. Friends may call at Vertin Funeral home Friday afternoon and evening and until 11 a.m. Saturday. Interment will be in Fairview Memorial Garden.
