Sophie Hehl and Paul Scheuerle were married in the medieval city of Ravensburg on the same day as Sophie's brother Christian and his wife Maria. (Ravensburg was Maria's birthplace.) Their daughter Marie was born six months after the wedding; most likely the wedding was planned for Christian Hehl, and Paul and Sophie were added on to the ticket at the last minute. After their marriage, the Scheuerles lived near Schussenried in the district of Biberach for several years. They emigrated along with their six children aboard the Hapsburg, arriving in Baltimore on March 28, 1884 and settling in Cincinnati. 

Sophie gave birth to at least nine children, three of whom died as infants. The first Scheuerle born in America was Gustav Adolph; he died of bronchopneumonia in June, 1887.
