Mr. Waterman had attained the age of 68 years, 6 months and 24 days, he having been born at Grossenmarpe, Lippe Detmold, Germany, on April 14, 1856. There he grew to young manhood, leaving there in 1873 to make his home in the United States. He came straight to this state, locating at Fontalelle, where on January 19, 1884, he was united in marriage to Miss Lena Nolte. Shortly after this he started a brick yard at that place and was one of the pioneers in this industry in the state, this plant being said to have been among the first in the state outside of Omaha. This he conducted until 1889 when he bought a yard at Scribner, gong into a partnership with John Edelmaier. He remained there until 1895 when the firm purchased the plant on the western edge of Hooper from John Heimrich. Since then the plant at this place has greatly enlarged until now the products of the Builders Brick Mfg. Co. have a state wide reputation. And during all these years until his sickness came upon him, Mr. Waterman had been actively engaged in the upbuilding of the plant which now stands as a memorial to his memory. Though a quiet going man, Mr. Waterman had gathered to him a wide acquaintanceship, and these many friends now unite in extending condolences to the bereft family. He was a man most highly respected by all, honorable in his dealing with his fellowmen, and true to the trusts place in his keeping. He was the father of nine children, six of whom, with the mother, mourn the passing of a loving and devoted father and husband. They are Mrs. Frank Wagner, Neligh; H. F., John H., Mrs. A. J. Kriebel, Albert H. and Miss Dora of Hooper. He is also survived by one brother, Fred, of Fontanellle and eight grandchildren. Funeral services for this respected citizen were held Monday aftenoon and the Zions Lutheran church of which he was a faithful member, was entirely too small to hold the many who came to pay their last respects to his memory. The pastor, Rev. G. F. H. Dahrkop, conducted the services, both at the home at 2 o'clock and later at the church. Interment was made in the family lot in the Hooper cemetery. -------------------------------------------------- The Hooper Sentinel March 19, 1914 Biographical Sketches of Pioneer Men Now Living in Hooper Herman Waterman Herman Waterman, Sr., was born in Grossenape, Lippe Detmaid, Germany in 1856 and came to America in 1874.
