OTTO C. BORMAN.

    Otto C. Borman, active and energetic in business affairs, has until recently
been engaged in general merchandising and in milling at Tolleston. He is a young
man who possesses the enterprising spirit of the age, his birth having occurred
in Tolleston on March 3, 1877. He is the fourth son of Christopher and
Wilhelmina (Kurth) Borman, who were early residents of Lake county, coming here
when this was largely a frontier district Otto C. Borman is indebted to the
public school system for the educational advantages which he enjoyed, and he
entered business life as a clerk in his father's store when a mere boy. He
afterward went to Chicago, where he worked for one year, and spent a similar
period in Hammond. In 1898 he was united in marriage to Mrs. H. F. Seegers, the
widow of the late Henry F. Seegers, who was at that time engaged in business in
Tolleston. Mr. Borman then conducted the business and developed this enterprise
to good proportions, a large line of general merchandise being carried and a
liberal patronage won through honorable methods and straightforward dealing. Mr.
Borman was also engaged in conducting a flour and feed store, and was the
leading real estate man of the town.

    To Mr. and Mrs. Borman has been born a daughter, Caroline, and there are
three children by Mrs. Borman's former marriage, Laura, Renata and Hertha. In
his political views Mr. Borman is a Democrat and is deeply interested in the
success and growth of his party. He belongs to the German Lutheran church, and
does everything in his power to promote general progress and improvement along
material, social, intellectual and moral lines. He has an intimate knowledge of
the history of the county for a quarter of a century or during the entire period
of his life, and he is widely and favorably known in Tolleston and the
surrounding districts.
