Read More	Bernard Bergmann, retired farmer, St. Benedict, Kans.. was born in Oldenburg, Germany, March 11, 1853, and is a son of Franz A. and Mary A. (Haskamp) Bergmann, who were the parents of nine children, three of whom are living in America. Bernard Bergmann, attended the schools of his native land. learned the trade of cigar maker and worked in a cigar factory in Germany until 1872. He then immigrated to America and farmed for ten years in Iowa, coming to Nemaha County, Kansas, in 1882. He bought 80 acres of land in Clear Creek township upon which a small shanty had been built. He at once set about putting up good improvements, and erected a comfortable two story house, and a barn 44x54 feet in dimensions. Mr. Bergmann became a breeder of Standard Percheron horses and mammoth Jacks, which he exhibited with considerable success at the county fairs. He made a success of his farming operations and his live stock breeding and as the years passed he added to his possessions until he became the owner of 240 acres of well improved land, in addition to giving his son a fine farm of 160 acres, comprising the home place. Mr. Bergmann retired in 1906, and moved to St. Benedict's, where he erected a fine two story modern home, which is easily the finest residence in the village. Mr. Bergmann was married to Caroline Lange, in Iowa, in 1878, and to this marriage have been born six children, as follows: Mrs. Mary Huesling, wife of J. Huesling, born December 18, 1879; died May 15, 1904, born at New Vienna, Iowa, and died at St. Benedict's; Kathrine, wife of George Heiman, Marion township, born November 28, 1880, and died in St. Joseph's Hospital, March 10, 11o; Frank, farming the home place of the Bergmanns, married Dena IIulsing; Lena, wife of Frank Melcher a farmer and large land owner, of Richmond township; Johanna, wife of Henry Engelken, Richmond township; Lawrence, married Ernestina Skoch, and lives on the Bergmann farm in Clear Creek township. The mother of this fine family was born in June, 1854, in Steinfelt, Oldenburg, Germany, a daughter of Herman Henry and Catherine (Olberding) Lange, and left her native land with her father in 1885 and settled in Iowa. She departed this life October 18, 1899, and is now buried in St. Benedict's cemetery. She was a good and faithful helpmate to Bernard Bergmann, and a kind and wise mother to her children. The Bergmann family are all members of the Catholic church. Mr. Bermann is a Democrat who is quite influential in the affairs of his .party in Nemaha county. He served as clerk and road supervisor of Richmond township, and filled other positions with credit to himself and the people. The career of this splendid American citizen of German birth is a striking and forceful example of what is frequently accomplished in this land by members of this sturdy and industrious race. When he arrived in this country he was just a poor German emigrant boy who had paid for his passage across the seas by many days of hard labor in the fields. By means of tireless industry, economy, foresight, and good financial judgment he has risen to become one of the wealthy and respected citizens of Nemaha county, who takes a just and rightful pride in the fact that he is self made and owes no man for his prestige and present comfortable state of affluence.
