Notizen zu dieser Person

Wife of Ferdinand Schumacher, the founder of Quaker Oats in Akron, Ohio.

Hermine Schumacher Schumacher, first wife of Akron's cereal king Ferdinand Schumacher, was a leader in the temperance crusade of 1874 but she focused most of her benevolent work in groups associated with the German population of the city.
Hermine Schumacher was born in Bevern, Germany, in 1823. She was engaged to her cousin Ferdinand Schumacher prior to his immigration to America. After he was settled in Cleveland, she followed him to America in 1851 and they were married soon after. In 1852, the couple settled in Akron. He focused on building his cereal business, which through mergers became Quaker Oats. Both Schumachers were committed prohibitionists. She, particularly, played a role in the early days of the women's temperance crusade of 1874. She signed the call for a rally at the First Methodist Episcopal Church that started the Akron's temperance crusade of 1874. That crusade was marked by small groups of women "visiting" Akron bars and saloon and praying in the streets in an attempt to close down the liquor traffic in the city. She also served as a delegate to the state temperance convention of 1874. In addition, she was a member of the Ladies Cemetery Association.
Her obituary in the Beacon Journal emphasized that Schumacher had been involved in a range of benevolent organizations, especially those involving the German population. In the post Civil War period, Akron had a sizeable German population with many civic organizations. During the immediate post-Civil War years, the Schumacher house became a center for those activities. Her activism was cut short by disease, however. By 1882, Schumacher had withdrawn from most of her civic activities. She had a severe case of rheumatism and no amount of hot springs, travel or medicinesrelieved the pain, the Beacon Journal reported. During this time also, after a disasterous fire at the Akron mill, her husband lost control of his cereal manufacturing business and much of his wealth. When Schumacher died on June 1, 1893, she was survived by her husband and two sons. Her other five children had died in youth.

	The 1870 Census was the first census to provide detailed information on the black population, only years after the culmination of the Civil War when slaves were granted freedom. The 1870 Census’ population estimate is controversial, as many believed it underestimated the true population numbers, especially in New York and Pennsylvania.Federal census takers were asked to record information aboutevery person who was in each household on the census day. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. The basic census enumeration unit was the county. Each county was divided into enumeration districts, one for each enumerator. The completed forms were sent to the CommerceDepartment’s Census Office in Washington, D.C.Federal censuses are usually reliable, depending on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator. Information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified.

	Newspapers are fantastic sources of genealogical and family history information. Birth, marriage, and death announcements, and obituaries, are commonly used items for genealogy. However, ancestors mayalso be mentioned in articles reporting on local news and events (i.e. social, community, school, sport, or business related events).
