Mr. Schnormeier was born in Lippe-Detmold, Germany, April 5, 1852, and he is the son of Fred and Louisa (Finke) Schnormeier. He grew to maturity and attended school in his native land, and in 1883 came to American, locating at Hubbard, Hardin county, Iowa. In order to get a start he worked out one year, then rented land for five years, after whish he bought the farm where he now lives, consisting of one hundred and twenty acres. This has proven to be a wise investment in view of the fact that it is very productive and yields abundant crops from year to year under the skillful management of the subject, who has become very well established here, now having a comfortable home and one of the choice places in the eastern part of Grant township, owning in all four hundred acres, having added to his original purchase from time to time as prosperity attended his efforts. In connection with general farming, he has always kept a good grade of live stock which he seems to know how to properly prepare for market so as to get the prices desired. Mr. Schnormeier was married in 1883 to Wilhelmina Blomberg, daughter of Fred and Wilhelmina Blomberg. She was born in Lippe-Detmold, Germany, where she was reared and educated, and she emigrated to America at the same time as Mr. Schnormeier. Nine children have been born to them, named as follows: Willie married Mary Stahl and lives at Nowlan, South Dakota, where he has a homestead; they have a son named Walter; Lena married August Saaksmeier and lives near the home farm; their sketch appears in this work; they have two children, Bertha and Carl; Henry, Mary, Minnie, Louise, Anna, Ida and Freddie are all at home. The subject and family belong to the Lutheran church at Hubbard.
