The small Schmidt Family Cemetery is located just east of a large, flat topped rock pile about one eighth mile north of the gate to the Many Island Grazing pasture on the Archie Daffy property SW 32-14-01- W 4. It is one mile south of township road 150 on Range Road 15, one mile west and nine miles south of Schuler, Alberta. As at September 4,1996, the cemetery is outlined with small metal pins. Five graves are marked with pins, there are no markers of any kind with information on them. There seems to be about eight graves at this site. Directions to this cemetery were passed on to us by Mr. Traugott Stehr. Further research September 08, 1996, resulted in the following: This small plot holds the remains of five Schmidt family members, some of who perished during the flu epidemic in 1918. The rest of the family moved to unknown points in the United States shortly after the tragedy. Some family members return to this site every few years to ensure all is well.
