HARMAN DEUTSCHMAN. There are many rural homes in Will County so attractive 
that they clearly disprove the idea held by some residents of cities, that 
farm life is surrounded only by what is rude, uncultivated and unpleasing. The 
estate of the gentleman who is the subject of this brief sketch, is one of 
these well regulated farms, upon which a complete line of improvements is to 
be seen, the buildings being first class in style and construction, and 
sufficiently numerous to fill all the wants of the owner. The home farm 
comprises one hundred and sixty acres on section 34, Jackson Township, and 
another quarter section in the same township is owned by Mr. Deutschman. The 
natal day of the subject of this sketch was February 25, 1851, his birthplace 
was the Empire of Germany. In the spring of 1865, he crossed the Atlantic and 
joined his father, William Deutschman, in Illinois. The father had come to 
this country in 1855, and lived in Joliet and Jackson Townships, in the latter 
of which he departed this life in 1875. His son Harman remained with him until 
his death, engaged in agricultural pursuits, and gaining in intelligence and 
ability year by year. In the fall of 1870, our subject led to the hymeneal 
altar Miss Sarah, daughter of Abraham Gockley, of Jackson Township, whose 
biography occupies another page in this Album. The bride was born in Lancaster 
County, Pa., September 25, 1853, and was well educated and reared to useful 
habits and with the best of principles. She belongs to the German Baptist 
Church. Mr. and Mrs. Deutschman have eight children living, namely Clara, 
Franklin A., Ella, Anna, Wallace J., Minnie, Josephine and Viola. They lost a 
son, Aaron, in his infancy. Mr. Deutschman has not sought official honors but 
is ever ready to cast his vote in the interests of the Democratic party. He 
has served as School Director. He has so conducted himself as to win respect 
as a citizen, neighbor and private individual.
