Diming, George (page 326), a former resident of Highland Township, in the
agricultural development of which he took an active part, was a native of
Germany. He married Mary Bauer, and at an early date, some time in the
fifties, they came to the United States, residing for awhile in Syracuse,
N.Y., and later in Wisconsin, from which state they came to Wabasha
county, Minnesota, in 1859. In the vicinity of Wabasha City, Mr. Diming
engaged in farming, but after awhile moved to Highland Township, where he
took a claim of 80 acres of wild land. There he and his family resided for
some years, until he finally sold the place, which he had improved, and
took up his residence in Wabasha. In December, 1893, his wife passed away,
and he, himself, survived her but a short time, his death occurring in
August, 1894. Mr. Diming was handicapped in his career by the fact that he
was a cripple, but he did what he could, and his name is deservedly
classed among those of the worthy pioneers of the county.
