Early life and playing career
Schildmiller was born on January 9, 1882, in Brattleboro, Vermont.[1] He graduated from Phillips Academy and enrolled in Cornell University, but withdrew after one term. He then transferred to Dartmouth college, where he played forward on the basketball team, first base on the baseball team, and right end on the football team.[2] In 1908, he was named to the College Football All-America Team.[3]
Coaching career
At the conclusion of his playing career, Schildmiller coached at the University of Maine. He remained at Maine for one season and posted a record of 3–4–1.
In 1910, Schildmiller came to Corvallis, Oregon to become the head football coach at Oregon State, known then as Oregon Agricultural College. He coached for only one season at OSU as well and posted a record of 3–2–1.
Business career
Schildmiller spent most of his working life in the Midwestern United States. His employers included Pepsodent, the American Radiator Company, the National Radiator Company, and Gulf Oil.[2]
Personal life
On August 2, 1910, Schildmiller married Leila May Jenkins in Winthrop, Massachusetts.[2] He 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.[4] 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.[5] The young lieutenant was posthumously awarded a silver star for bravery when he was killed exposing himself to target an enemy tank.[6]
Schildmiller retired in 1954 and moved to Miami. He died on February 23, 1960 from pneumonia following surgery. He was survived by his wife and two daughters (Gretchen and Dorothy).[2]
