  FRED H. TIEMENS, ex-county commissioner of Nobles county and a resident of

twenty years standing, is one of the well known farmers of Bloom township. He

owns and farms 320 acres of land on sections 10 and 15.



  Mr. Tiemens is of German birth, having been born in the province of Oldenberg,

Feb. 14, 1867. His father Henry Tiemens was a farmer. He died in the old country

in 1881 aged 41 years. Our subject's mother is Fredericka (Doden) Tiemens who

makes her home with her son. She is 67 years of age.



  In his native country Fred received his early training, being raised on a

farm. In the fall of 1883, at the age of sixteen years, he set out alone for

America. He located at Milford, Iroquois county, Ill., where for a little over

five years he worked as a farm laborer. He came to Nobles county in January,

1889, and located on section 25, Willmont township, where for two years he

farmed rented property. In 1892 he bought his present place and has since made

his home there.



  Mr. Tiemens has been married twice. His first marriage occurred in Willmont

township on May 1, 1890, when he was united in marriage to Mary Popken, who died

in September, 1898. To this union were born the following children, all of whom

reside with their father: Freda, Nettie, William and Ella. He was married the

second time in Bloom township on Sept. 14, 1903, to Paulina Mueller. To them

have been born four children—Annie, Paula, Alma and Frank.



  In a political way Mr. Tiemens has taken quite an active part. He is assessor

of Bloom township and is a director of school district No. 70, which office he

has held for six years. For nine years he was clerk of Bloom township. In 1898

he was elected county commissioner from the second district on the republican

ticket and was reelected in 1902, being one of the county's law makers eight

years. He is a member of the German Lutheran church of Pfingsten.
