History: Historical context: The Schumacher name comes from Ferdinand Schumacher, a German immigrant who, in the 1850s, became a major miller of oats in Akron, Ohio. His company, F. Schumacher Milling Co., later merged with others to form the American Cereal Co. in 1891, which was then renamed the Quaker Oats Company in 1901.
