FREDERICK NIEMAN is a
leading farmer of Wood County, his dwelling place being on
section 36, Troy Township. He is a native of Hanover,
Germany, born April 16, 1824. His parents, Frederick
and Mary Nieman, who were like wise of German birth, came
to America with their family in 1841, and settled in Sandusky
County. There the father died in 1844. His
occupations in life had been farming and merchandising.
Of a family numbering four children, Mr. Nieman is now
the only survivor. He received a good education in his
mother tongue and is self-taught in English.
Financially, he is in good circumstances, his fortune having
been won by hard work and untiring energy.
About 1845 our subject moved to his present farm, which
comprises within its boundaries some one hundred and five
acres. In addition to this he owns a tract of ninety-one
acres in Webster Township, this property being now managed by
his son. On both of these places he has made good
improvements and erected substantial buildings. Two oil
wells have been sunk on the homestead, which afford a good
income to the fortunate proprietor.
November 27, 1849, Mr. Nieman married Anna I.
Sampson, by whom he had eight children, as follows:
Anna M., Mrs. Buckbreder, born October 28, 1850;
Maria E., December 24, 1852; Louisa, July 4, 1855;
Anna M., November 5, 1857; Sophia O., March 7,
1860; Johanna, October 9, 1863; Edward H.,
October 2, 1865; and Caroline E., October 3, 1870.
Maria died June 12, 1855; Louisa passed away
October 8, 1876; and Sophia died November 12, 1862.
Anna is the wife of Henry Titcameyr, and
Caroline married Frederick Sanders.
In political questions Mr. Nieman is always
to be found on the side of the Democracy. Religiously,
he is a member of the Lutheran denomination. To an
eminent degree he enjoys the love and respect of his neighbors
and acquaintances, for his life has been spent in an unselfish
and exemplary manner.
