San Antonio Light
October 12, 1907
After an illness extending over a period of several months, the last three weeks of which he was confined to his bed, George J. F. Schmitt, one of the city's most prominent business men and foremost clubman, died at 3:15 o'clock this morning at his home, 110 Nueva street.
Mr. Schmitt had risen from an apprentice in the drug business to the owner and proprietor of the F. Kalteyer & Son drug store on Military plaza and in addition to the success gained in a business and financial way had, by his own efforts, made himself a chemist with a state wide reputation. He had been a member of the thirty-seventh district pharmaceutical board since its establishment almost twenty years ago and at the time of his death was president of the examining board.
Mr. Schmitt was a native of San Antonio. He was born here in the same house in which he died, March 17, 1850. His father, Joseph Schmitt, one of the old residents of the city, still survives and lives at the family home.
The other surviving members of the family are: His wife, Annette D. Schmitt, who is a daughter of the late Joseph E. Dwyer and Annette Dwyer and a sister of Judge Edward Dwyer; four daughters, Annette, Elsie, Gertrude and Eleanore. He also leaves one brother, William A. Schmitt, a merchant of Hondo, and a sister, Mrs. S. N. Steinhardt, of Aguas Calientes, Mexico.

The burial will be at City Cemetery No. 5 and he will be laid to his last rest by the side of his mother, who died in 1903.
