Schmidt (1858-1934) was educated in the schools of Detroit and Germany, and learned the tanning trade from his father.

He was active in politics, serving as a member of the Detroit Board of Police Commissioners, the state board of arbitration and mediation, and the state board of forest inquiry. He was for some time a close friend and political advisor to Hazen Pingree, who served as both mayor of Detroit and governor of Michigan. In 1880, Schmidt married Alice M. Candler, the daughter of a prominent Detroit businessman. The couple had three daughters: Emma, Alice, and Ida Wikipedia notes that his home, now the Carl E. and Alice Candler Schmidt House, was built in 1904 at 301 Lake Shore Rd. in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan.
