GEORGE TIMM (1891)

George Timm who, in partnership with his brother, Max Timm, is running the
family farm on sections 34 and  27, Posen township, is a native son of the
county, having been born on the farm February 12, 1891.  February 12, 1893,
is the birth date of Max Timm.

The name Timm is an old and prominent one in Yellow Medicine County, and a
great many acres of Posen township land are owned by the family.

Mr. and Mrs. August Timm, the parents of George and Max, were natives of
Germany and Pennsylvania, the father having been born in the old country 
and the mother in Philadelphia.  At the age of fourteen years August Timm 
came to the United States and located at Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  On reaching 
his majority he moved to Rochester, Minnesota, where he homesteaded eighty 
acres of land.  In the seventies he came to Yellow Medicine county, and 
from that time until the day of his death in April, 1910, the Timm farm in 
Posen was his home, living there continuously over thirty years.  Mrs. 
Timm is still living, making her home with her children.

George and Max Timm grew up on the Posen township farm, and in the district
school they received their education.  There all their boyhood days were
spent, and since the death of their father they have been running the place
for their mother.  The other members of the Timm family are Julius, William,
Paul, Cornelia, Tillie, Lena, Augusta and Ella.  One child, Laura is
deceased.
