Biographical data
Name: von Schmidt, Evgeny Alexandrovich  
   Also known as: Eugen von Schmidt; Dr. E. von Schmidt; E. Schmidt; de Schmidt
Born: 18 July 1821
Died: 30 Nov. 1905
 
Notes:
Bell's Life in London of 18 Sep. 1869 (p.3) has 'E.V. Schmidt', who I presume to be E.A. von Schmidt. Is this the E.A. Schmitt, who moved from the Hague to Saint Petersburg in 1851?
