FREDERICK HASEMAN. 

Among the young farmers of the county a high place is merited by the gentleman 
above named, who successfully operates a tract of land in Washington Township. 
This estate comprises two hundred acres of excellent land under careful and 
intelligent tillage, and has been the home of our subject from his infancy. 
For six years he has been the owner of the farm that was purchased by his 
father in a raw state, and by him and his sons brought to a fine condition of 
improvement and cultivation. The work begun by the parent is ably continued by 
the son, who is intelligent, industrious and thrifty. He was born near Eagle 
Lake, in this township, August 12, 1862, and is the youngest child of his 
parents and the only one born in America. He was but a year old when he came 
to his present home, where he grew to manhood, was educated and began his own 
career. The father of our subject is John Haseman, who was born in Shambourg, 
Leipsic, Germany, January 25, 1814. He married the daughter of a neighboring 
family—Miss Mary Pauls—who like himself had been reared under the care of 
excellent parents. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. John Haseman lived on a 
farm in the Fatherland until after the birth of seven children. They then set 
sail for America, leaving Bremerhaven, May 1, 1860, and landing in New York 
City twenty-three days later. The family came to Chicago, Ill., and thence to 
Eagle Lake, this county, where they rented a farm, upon which they lived for 
three years, and where our subject first saw the light of day. In 1863 the 
father purchased one hundred and twenty acres on section 8, Washington 
Township, the next year adding an eighty-acre tract adjoining. Upon this he 
put up good buildings, reclaiming the land from its primitive state and making 
a comfortable home in which to spend his declining years. He is still living, 
making his home with our subject, and is smart and active for one of his 
years. He lost his companion in March, 1881, she being then sixty years old. 
She was a lifelong member of the Lutheran Church, and conscientiously 
endeavored to fulfil the duties which devolved upon her as wife, mother and 
member of society. Her husband belongs to the same church, and he too has 
endeavored to act well his part in life. Of the children born to Mr, and Mrs, 
John Haseman we note the following: Anna married Henry Walker, and died at the 
birth of her first child; Henry married Sophia Meyer, and died leaving four 
children; Carolina became the wife of William Meyer, and died leaving four 
children; John, Jr., who is now living on a farm in Will Township, this 
county, married Louisa Winsenburg; Engel is the wife of Charles Lange, a 
farmer in Washington Township; Mary is the wife of William Voltner, and they 
occupy a farm in Lake County, Ind.; Sophia married George Apking, who is a 
farmer in Crete Township this county; Fred is the youngest son and child. The 
latter married Mary Thurner, who was born in Eagle Lake Village, December 18, 
1862. She received a good education, and acquired an excellent knowledge of 
the domestic arts and the kindly offices in which womanhood excels. She is the 
mother of four children, namely: Lena, Alvina, Albert and Authy. She and her 
husband belong to the Lutheran Church. Mr. Haseman, of this notice, is a sound 
Republican, as are his father and brothers. The paternal grandparents of our 
subject were John O. and Engel (Nieders) Haseman, who spent their entire lives 
in Germany. They were consistent members of the Lutheran Church. The husband 
was a shoemaker by trade, and followed that occupation from his youth until 
his death, which occurred when he was about sixty-three years of age.
