Frank Schmidt and his wife Mahilda, daughter of Karl and Wilhelmeina Bleich, emmigrated to the U.S. from Germany in 1912 (possibly from the city of Osterweick), along with their children: Otto, Anne, and ????. They traveled with Mathilda's parents, who emmigrated at the same time.
Probably Frank and Matilda settled in Great Falls, Montana, as the picture above was taken at a studio in Great Falls. Frank apparently died young, as the children of their Leistiko cousins remember only "Aunt" Matilda, and she never remarried.
Frank and Matilda had only the three children:
| Otto Schmidt | Born in Hanover, Germany, on May 28, 1899. |
| Ann Schmidt | Born in 19?? |
| ???? Schmidt | Born in 19?? |
