John Frederick August Wurdemann was born at Sage, Oldenburg, Germany, Nov. 14, 1865, and was brought to this country by his parents when he was 9 months old.

Mrs. Wurdemann died Mar. 7, 1936, and since that time, two granddaughters, Miss Mable and Miss Alvina Marty, lived with him and kept house for him.
He was a prominent and successful farmer, highly esteemed and widely known in his home community. He served for several years as road overseer, was township treasurer for two terms and served for more than 10 years on the board of School District 15. Later he was a member of the board of Christ Lutheran parochial school.
He was a devout member of the Lutheran faith, and when living in the country held membership in Christ Lutheran church. After he moved to Columbus he affiliated with Immanuel Lutheran Church.
