Schmersahl (January 1825 - about 1905) was a German-American merchant and politician who served two terms as the eleventh Mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey from 1871-1873.[1] BiographySchmersahl was born in January 1825 in Bremen, Germany. He migrated from Germany to New Jersey in 1845. By 1900 he was living in Weehawken, New Jersey.[2] He was a partner, along with Louis Wittpenn, in a liquor and wine wholesale business in New York City.[3] He served on the Hoboken City Council in 1866.[4] Schmersahl was rejected by the Hoboken Democratic convention as a candidate for mayor in 1871, but was reported to run independently.[5] He was elected as a Republican in 1871. He raised money for the relief of victims of the Great Chicago Fire.[6] He was re-elected as the candidate of both parties in 1872.[7] Schmersahl ran as an independent candidate in 1873 and was defeated by Democrat Peter McGavisk.[8] In 1889 he took out an advertisement for a wife and met Clara Theinhardt. She was 30 and he was 63. He made a formal marriage proposal and she accepted. He backed out of the engagement and she sued for breach of promise for $10,000. They settled for an undisclosed amount before trial.[9][10] References1. ^{{cite book | last=Winfield | first=Charles | date=1874 | publisher=Kennard & Hay Stationery M'fg and Print.
