Daughter of Frank and Rosa/Rosalie Schmeiser Scheberle.
She was "Deutsch-Boehmish", descended from a group of Germanic speakers invited to settle in Bohemia hundreds of years earlier. "Good King Wenceslas" invited them to come, as they had skills not yet common in Bohemia, in addition to their farming. That way, his own people could be taught.
Her old records say she was born in Austria. That's not modern Austria, but the old, much larger Austrian-Hungarian empire. Today, her region is its own country. Its provinces of Bohemia and Moravia now make the modern Czech Republic.
She had been born in a town that translates as Upper Johnsdorf. Its German name was Ober Johnsdorf, its Czech name, Horní Třešnovec, Czech Republic.
An excellent article by Edward G Langer on theirsmaller region (a county-like region was called a Ladskron) notes the conditions causing that region to send so many immigrants to the States. He mentions the surnames Schöberle and Schmeiser, plus Pitterle. (NOTE: the third syllable, -"le", not silent as in English, but pronounced as "-lee".)
Her maiden name was properly spelled with two dots over an O, but English typewriters lacked the ability to show the dots. (Called an umlaut, the dotted O was an abbreviation for OE, one vowel silent, like our final e, a signal to pronounce the other vowel a certain way.)

As of 2022, Edward G Langer's site was still working, his key pages written over two decades ago, in 2001,from Nashotah, WI, Some pages have old photos of family.
In 2021 he added a link to the Czechoslovak Genealogical Society, for whom he'd written a special article. NOTE: the Society formed in 1918, to cover the broader region of Czechoslovak, bigger than the Czech Republic (it included Slovakia, not just Bohemia and Moravia as provinces):
