Posted by Sandi Gorin on Thu, 08 Jun 2000, reposted with permission. Surname: Noterman, Beggs, Smith, Jonas, Boulnir, Soltern, Miller Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 7th ed., 1887, Kenton Co. JOSEPH NOTERMAN, manufacturing jeweler, Cincinnati, Ohio, was born in Belgium, June 28, 1831, and is a son of Joseph and Augusta Noterman, natives of the same country. When Joseph was quite young he immigrated to Central America, and there engaged in selling goods and buying land. This venture however proved unsuccessful, the climate disagreeing with him and his family; his wife and two of his children died, and he contracted a disease which caused his demise soon after his arrival home. On his return he came by the way of New York, and his child, Joseph, desiring to remain there he left him, hastened to his native land, and there a few months afterward died. The boy was apprenticed to and learned the jeweler's trade, and at the age of eighteen was proficient enough in his vocation to earn journeyman's wages. In the spring of 1848 Mr. Noterman came to Cincinnati, Ohio, and commenced work with the firm Beggs & Smith, No. 14 West Fourth Street, with whom he remained for twenty years. In 1868 he formed a partnership with Mr. Jonas under the firm name of Noterman & Jonas, for the purpose of manufacturing jewelry. The firm has remained unchanged up to the present time, and is located at the corner of Main and Fourth. In good times they employ about thirty hands, and have hitherto done quite a profitable business, and in 1882 they moved into a large and beautiful building Nos. 169 and 171 Race Street, which they now occupy. Mr. Noterman took the Master degree in Golden Rule Lodge, on the 5th of November, 1876, and the Royal Arch degrees in Covington Chapter, February 23, 1877; he also belongs to the A.O. of U.W. and K. of H., and in June, 1877, Covington Commandery created him a Knight Templar. Mr. Noterman has been thrice married; first in 1849 to Miss Rein Boulnir, second in September, 1861, to Mary Soltern, who survived but one year, and third to Phillippine Miller, daughter of John Miller,of Covington. The names of his children are August, Zelia, Leonia,Alice, Gussie, Josie, Fannie, Clara, Alphonso, Paul, Emilie and Josephine. Mr. Noterman, although working and doing business in Cincinnati, Ohio, has resided for many years in Covington; his present residence is a handsome one, No. 1515 Scott Street. Personally, he is of a medium size, but possessed of an active temperament and vigorous constitution. He has been all of his life a good and industrious man, and his success has been owing not so much to fortuitous circumstances as to steady, unremitting industry. For upward of thirty years Mr. Noterman has been employer, or employe [sic]. This fact alone would not establish his stability of character, and should teach a valuable lesson to all young mechanics impatient for speedy success. Mr. Noterman like most of our Belgium citizens has identified himself with the spirit of our institutions, and has no cause to regret that he remained and made the United States his home.
