Hello Jane,
I am also working on Geldmacher's in Farmdale and I believe we have a connection.My wife's GG Grandfather is Adam Geldmacher (1839-1912).I'm currently working on the theory that Adam had at least three siblings living nearby; Heinrich/Henry, Victoria (married George Stumpf) and your Catherine Schuck).
Here's some info on Adam:

Here's a detail of a 1910 property map showing how close the Stumpf, Schuck and Geldmacher properties were in Tazewell:

And here's photos of Adam and Henry's Graves in Farmdale:

What do you think?How many unconnected Geldmacher families could have been in the same township at the same time?
I would love to hear from you if you would like to share information.
