Evan (Robert) Schmid, C.S.C. was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on July 17, 1920, one of five sons born to Alfred J. and Caroline (Nigl) Schmid. He attended Oshkosh Catholic elementary and high schools from 1926-1937, and in 1938 earned a diploma in secretarial skills from Oshkosh Business College. He entered the Brothers of Holy Cross at Watertown, Wisconsin in 1939. He began his novitiate year at Rolling Prairie, Indiana, in February 1940, pronouncing his temporary vows in 1941 and his perpetual vows in 1944.
He studied at the University of Notre Dame from 1941-1944, graduating magna cum laude with an A.B. degree in English. After several summer sessions, he was awarded a master’s degree in 1952.
Br. Evan worked at a number of schools in Wisconsin, Indiana and New York between 1944-1950, before he was hospitalized with tuberculosis in 1950 for two years. In 1952, Br. Evan was a member of the staff at the brothers’ residence, Columba Hall, Notre Dame, and that same year he taught briefly at Central Catholic High School, South Bend.
In 1953, he again required a period of treatment in the infirmary, followed by a short appointment to the candidates’ program in Watertown, Wisconsin. He then returned to Notre Dame to serve on the staff of Columba Hall until he was once again assigned to Watertown, where from 1955-1958 he edited the Associate of St. Joseph magazine.
From 1958-1974, he served as private secretary to the provincial superior at Notre Dame, and also taught on the faculty of Holy Cross Junior College at the Brothers Center at Notre Dame from 1974-1975. From 1975-1980, he once again worked exclusively as secretary to the provincial. He then became secretary to the headmaster at Gilmour Academy in Gates Mills, Ohio until 2002, when his health required that he come to Notre Dame to take up residence at Columba Hall. He died on December 21, 2004, aged 84.ver menos
