Tiedemann - 

Henry Tiedemann, a respected resident of Lake City, who was formerly 
engaged in agriculture in Mt. Pleasant Township, was born in Hanover, 
Germany, November 4, 1849, son of John and Katie Offerman Tiedemann. He 
remained in his native land until the spring of 1870, when he came to 
America, locating first in Chicago, where he resided until the fall of 
that year. He then came to Wabasha County, Minn., and for nine years 
subsequently worked around as a farm hand, saving what he could of his 
wages with the view of some day starting in for himself. At the end of 
that period he rented a farm for a year, and then acquired a farm of his 
own, buying 80 acres in Mt. Pleasant Township. Sixty acres of the land 
had been cleared, but there were no buildings, and Mr. Tiedemann 
accordingly built a house and some straw sheds. There he resided until 
1903, successfully engaged in agricultural pursuits, and then retired and 
took up his residence in Lake City. He now owns 290 acres of land and is 
in no need of further toil, owing in addition to a house in Lake City at 
the corner of Sixth and Central streets. Mr. Tiedemann was always a hard 
worker and remained strong and vigorous until about six years ago. He had 
only a common school education, but made the best of his opportunities 
and succeeded in life. Politically he is a Republican. Mr. Tiedemann was 
married August 28, 1881, to Catherine, a daughter of Jergen Fick, of Bear 
Valley, Chester Township, this county. He and his wife have two daughters: 
Mary C., born September 11, 1882, now the wife of Adolph Meincke, a farmer 
of Mt. Pleasant Township; and Clara, born May 28, 1888, who is the wife 
of George Jacobs, of Wabasha. Mr. Tiedemann is a member of the German 
Lutheran church.
