Joined by the wife and mother. In 1851
Mrs. SChmahl was a steamboat passenger
FOR st. Paul. and In that city year later
was united in marriage to Jacob Schmahl,
whom she met IN Galena. That year they
moved up to Traverse des Sioux and built
the first residence at that place, and it
was here that Alexander Ramsey, General
George j. Becker Henry NJ. Sibley. Henry
M Rice and Charles e. Flaudrau always
stopped In their trips up and down the
Minnesota valley. 1t was in one of the
rooms of Mrs. Schmahs hostelry that
Governor Ramsey, representing the United
States government. paid off the first allot-
ment to the Indians, amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars. and Mrs.
Schmahl still recalls the piles of gold under
the control of Governor Ramsey at that
time. with no soldiers around to guard the
wealth.
When Traverse dessSioux and St.S Peter
lost the capitol fight the family removed
to within three miles of Fort Ridgley,
where Mrs. Schmahrs father erected a
stone residence. AT the opening of the
Indian outbreak Colonel Sheehan, with his
soldiers, stopped at this residence, forced
the family to go with them to the fort
where they remained for eleven days, Mrs.
Schnahl, nursing the wounded soldiers
and casting bullets. Her services have
since been recognized by an inscription on
the tablet of the monument since erected
at that place by the state. In 1870 shortly
after Redwood Falls was first laid out, the
family came here, where Mrs. Schnah
has since resided.
Like her mother before her, she is the
mother Of ten children, seven of whom
four boys and three girls, are living and
with their families, together with nearly
all of the grandchildren, were present yes.
