Schildmiller lived in the Cincinnati metro area during the 1930s and 1940s, where his daughter, Dorothy "Dolly" Schildmiller, was a top-level competitive golfer, winning the city golf championship five times.[3] His son, George A. Schildmiller, enlisted in the Army shortly after the start of World War II and died in Alsace, France on December 19, 1944.[4] The young lieutenant was posthumously awarded a silver star for bravery when he was killed exposing himself to target an enemy tank.[5]
