Joseph Schmalz, son of Adolph Schmalz, stood five feet, five inches tall, had blue eyes and could speak both German and English. Joseph homesteaded forty acres as a single man. After marrying Clara Lena Komp they purchased forty more acres with a farm house and had a family of seven; five boys and two girls. Later another twenty acres were added after Joseph and brother Charlie divided a forty acre homestead in a land swap deal. Joseph and Charlie Schmalz were co-owners of a coal mine called the "Schmalz Brothers & Gack Mine". The owners were Joseph and Charlie Schmalz and Anton Gack. The mine was on the Gack's property. They lost the mine during the depression. In the early 1930's there were shipments of coal sent to Wisconsin and Chicago and the companies could not afford to pay for the coal, though they did receive some cotton seed meal from one of the companies.
