PETER PETERSON SCHMIDT
P. P. SCHMIDT, a blacksmith
of Tracy, was born in Germany in 1858. He came to America in 1873, landing in San Francisco. He worked for wages for eight years, then opened a
shop of his own, five miles from Stockton, on the lower Sacramento road; finding that it was not a profitable investment, he went to Tracy and started in business there. Since that time he has
built a fine little home, also owns the shop in which he carries on his
business. He is an industrious, hard-working man, and well deserves his reward.
Mr. Schmidt is a member of the I. O. O. F.
