Dickman, P. G. (spelled "Dickmann" in biography) farmer, was born in 1841,
in Germany. He is the third son of George C. and Wiebke Dickman, natives
of Germany. They came to Cook county, Illinois, when our subject was about
twelve years old. In 1856 they came to Oakwood township. In 1861 Mr.
Dickman served in the 8th Minn. Vols, for three years on the frontier, in
the Bad Lands, and he was discharged, and, returning home, took charge of
the old homestead, his father going to Winona. He now has four hundred
acres, nearly all improved, of very fine land, with one of the finest
residences in Oakwood. He is a member of the Masonic order. He is one of
Oakwood's supervisors. He has been a democrat for the last few years. He
is one of our most enterprising and intelligent citizens. He was married,
in 1867, to Annie Schach, native of Germany. They have nine children.
Notes from a fellow genealogist: Peter George Dickman was my husband's
Great Grandfather on his mom's side. He was also Mathilda's uncle, her
father being Frederick C Dickman 1837-1869. Her mother was Margaretha Mary
Scherenbouken 1842 - 1930. Her second husband was Hans Eggers. They had a
son who married Margaret Laura Burnham.
