Ertmer GEORGE ROSMANN --The advent of the automobile has brought into the world a new occupation, or rather a large number of new occupations. There are found throughout the towns and cities of the United States today dozens of shops, started for the purpose of automobile repairing and to these have been given the distinctive name of garages. It is safe to say that there are several hundred garages in Iowa alone, and every town of any size in Shelby county boasts of at least one garage. George Rosmann, the proprietor of the garage at Defiance, has built up a large trade. Many farmers of today think no more of getting an automobile repaired than of getting a horse shod, and this speaks well for the. prosperity of the county. George Rosmann, the proprietor of the Rosmann garage, was born in Douglas township, this county, September 3, 1880. His parents were George and Anna (Ertmer) Rosmann. George Rosmann was a native of Austria and his wife was born in Illinois. George Rosmann, Sr., received his education in his native land and after leaving school worked at various occupations until he was about twenty years of age. Being a young man of spirit and energy, he decided to come to this country where better opportunities were offered. Immediately after coming here, he was employed in the mercantile business and located in Dubuque county, Iowa, after having saved enough money to purchase a one-hundred-and-sixty-acre farm. He bought his farm in Douglas township, Shelby county, and here he lived the life of a prosperous farmer until his death, which occurred January 9, 1911, his wife having died May 14, 1909. To George Rosmann, Sr., and wife were born fourteen children: George, Joseph, Mary, Carrie, Elizabeth, Anna, Carl, Francis, Louis, Josephine, Frank, Henry, Olive and Loretta. Joseph married Rosa Hodapp; Mary became the wife of Frank Hodapp; Carrie married John Henness; Elizabeth is a nun at St. Francis convent, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Anna is the wife of Bert Hodapp; Frances married John Kirschbaum; while the rest of the children are still unmarried and at home. George Rosmann, Jr., was given a good, common school education in the schools of this county and then worked on the farm with his father until he was twenty-four years of age, when he married and purchased a farm in Douglas township, which, in addition to a part of the home farm which his father gave him, made a farm of very respectable proportions. He farmed for six years after his marriage and then moved to Defiance and started a garage. His shop is equipped with the latest improved machinery for all kinds of automobile repairing. He employs skilled mechanics to do his work. He has the county agency for the Overland automobile and has had the satisfaction of selling a large number of these excellent machines since starting in the business. Mr. Rosmann was married to Rosetta Hofer, the daughter of Joseph and Anna (Binz) Hofer, who art residents of Freeport, Illinois, the father having been a farmer until 1910, when he retired from active work on the farm and moved to Freeport. Mr. and Mrs. Hofer are the parents of four children: Rosetta, the wife of Mr. Rosmann; Mary; wife of John Coenen, and Clara and Leona, who are still unmarried and at home with their parents. The Democratic party claims the support of Mr. Rosmann although he has never been interested actively in political affairs. He and his wife are loyal members of the Catholic church, while Mr. Rosmann is a member of the Roman Catholic Mutual Protective Society and the Knights of Columbus.
