Ferd Lindeman was born in Nebraska, lived in Iowa, where some of his siblings remained, and then moved to southern Missouri, Lawrence County, with his parents, William C. and Mary Louise Struck Lindeman. His siblings include (ages listed in the 1910 USA census in parentheses) Willis S Lindeman (14), Emil G Lindeman (12), Irene L Lindeman (7), and Esther L Lindeman (1). He owned the Lindeman Orchard along Highway 60 (his property was split when the new 60 was built), where he sold apples, peaches, and nectarines. He was a respected, successful businessman, with a loyal clientele, who came yearly for his delicious, abundant and well-cared for fruit. He married Mary Aileen Johnson, from Aurora, Missouri, February 5, 1944. They had one child, Gary Ferd, born January 24, 1947. In addition to his orchard, Ferd raised miniature ponies and sheep. It was always a delight and highlight to see Marionville's white squirrels on Ferd's farm. Ferd was the beloved brother-in-law of Horta Johnson and Bill Sullivan, Laurence and Clyda Johnson Hoover, Gordon and Bertha Dale Johnson Williams, and A. B. and Maxine French Johnson, son-in-law of Arthur Brest and Dora Barnett Johnson, and uncle of Marlyn Sue Hoover, Judy and Janice Williams, and Donald Robert Hoover and Ronald Dale Johnson, who enjoyed get togethers on the beautiful farm, always with Uncle Ferd and Aunt Mary's warm hospitality. The Johnson family loved Ferd, and he reached out with a big smile. He and Aunt Mary welcomed the families of their nieces and nephews, all of whom loved visiting "the farm!"
Ferd and Mary visited their Iowa relatives frequently and made transcontinental trips, visiting Marlyn and her family and Ferd's sister in California on an extended Western USA trip.
Ferd was a professional bricklayer. He helped build the Empire State Building, New York City. He proudly let people know that he was chosen to lay bricks on corners, because of his precision work.
Uncle Ferd was in his forties when he started his family. A favorite of memory of him was his frequent request for people to repeat what they'd said with his characteristic "how's that?"
Throughout his active life Ferd Lindeman was a hard-working, kind, gracious, honest man.
