---------TOBIAS HERMANN
-------RESIDENT MANY YEARS, DIED
Tobias Hermann, 70, passed away at 6 o'clock last night at his home, 209 South Eight street. Death came as a result of a long illness. Mr. Hermann was born in Germany, July 1, 1861. He came to this country with his parents when only three years old and has been a resident of Burlington for the past 51 years. He was well known to a large circle of friends here. He was a member of the Elks Lodge, Loyal Order of the Moose, excelsior lodge, I.O.O.F.
Forty-four years ago Mr. Hermann was united in marriage with Miss Anna Schlipp at Muscatine. The widow, two children, Tobias A. Hermann, of Burlington, and Mrs. R. W. Harding, of West Baldwin, Maine Survive as do three grandchildren.
"Toby" as Mr. Hermann, was affectionately known by his many friends, was one of the best marble cutters in the country. He not only was an expert carver, but an artist and designer as well and was known as such in many parts of the country. First as a hand worker, and later with the more improved tools of his craft he excelled and his superior ability was recognized in every shop in which he ever worked. In his younger days he traveled much and many monuments of his skill can be found in memorial carving and building architecture the country over. One of the most notable examples of this will be found in the marble work of the federal post office at New Orleans, designed and executed by Toby Hermann.
The remains were taken to Prugh's chapel pending funeral services which will be held at the chapel at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The services at Prugh's chapel and at the grave in Aspen Grove cemetery will be in charge of officers of the Elks lodge.
(Aspen Grove listed Tobias as Herman but obituary has Hermann. In Germany it was Herrmann--Father has Johann Herrmann.) S. Donath #48116482
--1880 Census in Reading, Berke, Pennsylvania
Tobias Herman--age 19-born in Germany--stone cutter
He was listed as a boarder--Said he came to US in abt. 1864 with his parents.
---1900 Census in New Orleans, La. (working on Post Office building as a stone cutter & Marble mason)
Tobias Herman--born July 1861 in Germany
Annie Herman--born Apr. 1870 in Iowa
Edith Herman--born May 1891 in Iowa
Mabel Herman--born Aug 1896 in Iowa
Brother Herman Herman born Oct 1879? not correct Iowa?
His brother Herman was born in 1855 in Germany
---1910 they are in Burlington, Des Moines Co., Iowa
also including a son, Tobias Herman Jr. born abt. 1901.
--Marriage of Tobias and Anna Schlifp occurred in Muscatine, Iowa on Sept. 27, 1887 (so between 1880 and 1900 Tobias was likely working in or around Muscatine, Iowa as children born in Iowa--so likely remained in Iowa--possibly worked on buildings in Burlington.)
Tobias listed his father as Johann Herman and Anna Lubold and that he was born in Stuttgart, Wurttemburg, Germany.
Wife, Anna, was Anna M. Schlepf (1925 she spelled it Schlipf--some spellings were Schlipp)
---1930 Burlington Census in Burlington, DMC, Iowa
Tobias was 69, Anna M. was 61, Tobias Jr. was 29 and married to a Nellie Larson 25 born abt <1905> Both Mabel/Maybelle and Edith are missing--Edith was Mrs. R. W. Harding living in Maine and Maybelle (Hermann) Appel was deceased at this time as she died a few months before her father in 1931.
For some reason in the Iowa state census of 1925 Tobias is missing and Anna M. age 55 was listed as Divorced, but they are together in 1930. Have not found Tobias in 1925? He could have been anywhere working on a building.
I believe his middle name may have been Adam so Tobias Adam Hermann--originally in Germany spelled 'Herrmann'.
