Franz was born in Breslau, Germany 1843 and married Bertha Meister bef. Jun 17, 1868 in Breslau.
The Schmidt family emigrated from Breslau, Germany, and arrived in New York on April 21, 1881.
Franz was of the Catholic faith and Bertha was Prostestant - Evengelical Lutheran in Chicago, Ill.
Breslau was in the province of Schlesien, Prussia in the 1800's and is in Lower Silesia (Niederschlesien). In 1945, Breslau became once again, Wroclaw, Poland.
Marriage is based on birth of eldest child... assume town of Breslau to be marriage site.

Franz occupation was a horseshoer
Bartz family: They are listed as buried in the same plot as Franz & Bertha along with their son, George (who owned the plot) & wife, Martha Bartz Schmidt. I do NOT know who they are, can only assume that Marie here is a sibling or cousin of Franz or Bertha
