For almost thirty years this gentleman was prominently identified with the industrial interests of Marion, Iowa, and as a blacksmith met with good success in business, accumulating a comfortable competence which now enables him to spend his declining years in retirement from active labor. He was born in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, on the 1st of March, 1838, a son of Joseph and Rebecca (Miller) Nicodemus, who spent their entire lives in that county. In early manhood the father followed the carpenter's trade, and later engaged in farming. In religious belief both he and his wife were Lutherans, and were people of the highest respectability. Their family numbered eight children, namely: Charlotte, now the widow of John W. Hull and a resident of Bedford county, Pennsylvania; Catherine, who married David Blackburn and died in October 1899; Tena, who died unmarried; Susanna, a resident of Marion, Iowa, and widow of Benjamin Trott, who died in the Civil war; Rebecca, who married John Adams and both are now deceased; Maria, widow of Abraham Miller and a resident of Bedford county, Pennsylvania; John, who died at the age of eighteen years; and Joseph, of this review.
During his boyhood Joseph Nicodemus had very little opportunity to attend school, as he had to work hard. He remained under the parental roof until he attained his majority, and then learned the blacksmith's trade, to which he devoted his energies throughout the remainder of his active business life. His labors were interrupted, however, by his service in the war of the Rebellion. In the fall of 1863 he enlisted as a private in Company I, One Hundred and Forty-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, known as the Bucktail regiment, under command of Colonel White. He went first to Chambersburg and later to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and from there to Virginia. He took part in several battles and skirmishes, including the engagements at Culpeper and Brandy Station, and was honorably discharged when his term of enlistment expired in 1864.
On the 19th of February, 1863, Mr. Nicodemus was married, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, to Miss Catherine Elizabeth Nipple [Knipple], of that county, of which her parents, John and Elizabeth Nipple, were also natives. The father [John H. Knipple] was a miller by trade, and he and his wife always made their home in Bedford county. Their children were Catherine Elizabeth [Catherine Elizabeth Knipple Nicodemus], Jacob, Amanda [Amanda Melvina Knipple Bruce Ham], David [David Shultz Knipple], Charlotte M. [Charlotte M. Knipple Dorsey-grave site unknown], Ida Belle [nothing known], and one who died in infancy.
In the fall of 1864 Mr. and Mrs. Nicodemus came to Linn county, Iowa, and took up their residence in Marion, where he purchased a small shop standing on the site of his present shop, and at once commenced work at his trade. He also bought real estate and erected several houses, building his own home. He still owns his blacksmith shop, but has rented the same since 1893, while he now lives retired. In connection with general blacksmithing he also engaged in manufacturing wagons, buggies, etc., and was fairly successful in all his undertakings. His prosperity has come to him through his own industry, perseverance and determination to succeed, and by his upright, honorable course of life he has also gained the confidence and good will of all with whom he has been brought in contact. He is an active worker and consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and is also prominently connected with Robert Mitchell Post, No. 206, G. A. R., of Marion. Since attaining his majority he has always been a stanch Republican.
