Carl Robert Conrad Schmidt, S. Ft. Mitchell mayor, firefighter

While he was mayor, Mr. Schmidt approved the construction of Expressway Plaza in Ft. Mitchell, David C. Schmidt said.
Through his business, Mr. Schmidt renovated many of the storefronts in Covington along Madison Avenue from Third Street to 19th Street.
