Henry Biermann passed away at this home in the village Saturday morning from cancer of the stomach.
Mr. Biermann was born the 21st day of June 1836 in Hanover, Germany. He came to this country with his parents who settled in the town of Herman, Sheboygan County, in 1850. On October 19, 1856 he was united in marriage to Miss Barbara Rauch. In 1866 he moved his family to New Holstein and operated a farm near here. Ten children were born to them; six sons and two daughters are still living. His wife died on the 25th day of December 1908. Four years later he married Mrs. A Vichich of New Holstein on August 10, 1912.
Ten years ago he purchased a residence in the village where he lived until his death. Always having a strong rugged constitution he began notice a distressing feeling in his abdomen. He sought the best medical aid, but without relief.
When the call came for volunteers in the Civil War, Mr. Biermann was among the first to answer the call of his adopted country. On September 20, 1861 he enlisted in the 9th Wisconsin which served so gallantly and so December 3, 1864 he received an honorable discharge.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the home. Rev. A. C. Plappert officiating. The remains were interred in the New Holstein cemetery.
