Stohrman - 

Frederick Stohrman, a Wabasha County pioneer who had a notable and 
adventurous career, was a native of Hanover, Germany. He emigrated to 
the United States at an early day and took part in the rush to the 
California gold fields, where he met with more success than fell to 
the lot of the average adventurer. At last, not caring to stay there 
any longer, he returned east to Minnesota and settled at Funk's Ford 
on the Zumbro River in Glasgow Township, Wabasha County, where he 
engaged in farming. He died quite well to do about the close of the 
Civil War period, his loss being greatly regretted. Having more money 
than almost any of his neighbors, he was not only able, but willing, 
to assist new arrivals, and a number of the pioneer settlers here owed 
much to his friendly help. Mr. Stohrman married Mary Ending, who 
survived him many years, dying October 10, 1900, in Lake City. They 
reared a family of four daughters and one son, the daughters who are now 
living, being: Emma, who married Frank Hoppe and has been a widow for 
twenty years, being now a resident of Breckenridge, Minnesota; Eliza, 
who is the widow of Peter Peters and lives in lake City, Mr. Peters 
having died 14 years ago; Anna, now Mrs. Joseph Rolandt of Gillford 
Township; Clara, who is the wife of William Deifenbrock, and Frank, 
who is deceased.
