ERNST & BERTHA SCHMUDE

In 1894, Ernst with his wife Bertha and their family, immigrated from Pomerania in present day Northern Poland---up near The Baltic Sea---to eventually settle in the Woods Run section of Pittsburgh, PA. Woods Run is apart of Pittsburgh's North Side which in the 1890's was the City of Allegheny, PA.

Ernst and his family came to live in homes at 957 and 959 Woods Run Avenue but soon spread to other nearby streets and communities. It was from these two shown here that the family links grew to include Pittsburgh's Munhall Valley, Garfield, The North Side and even to places such as Oil City & Titusville, Pennsylvania. All of the SCHMUDE family of Western Pennsylvania appear to be the result of the union of Ernst & Bertha Schmude and their offspring.

Both of them are buried in Highwood Cemetery located along Brighton Road in the Woods Run area of present-day Pittsburgh, PA.
