**********************************************************************

Herman H. Tieman, a prominent farmer and merchant of Crawford County,
was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1842.  He is the eldest of three 
children of Herman and Mary (Merking) Tieman.  Herman H. Tieman came
to the United States in 1856, and settled in Franklin County, MO.,
where he engaged in farming.  His early education was obtained in his
native county, and his first attempt in the mercantile business was
at Champion City, Franklin Co., MO., where he had the management of a
store in the interest of the Grange, which was established by a stock
company with a capital of $400; this was in 1874, and Mr. Tieman 
afterward bought the interest of the stockholders, and conducted the
store on his own account for several years very successfully.  He
bought his present farm and homestead in Crawford County in 1873, and
in 1887 bought the dry goods stock of Burnes & Co., of Cuba.  He still
owns the property in Cuba, but moved the goods to Jake's Prairie, 
where he has a good trade.  In 1861 Mr. Tieman married Martha, daugh-
ter of Elisha Blankenship.  Mrs. Tieman died in 1878, leaving the
following children: Charles R., Mary F., Susan, Samuel L., Henry L.,
George A. and Harriet A.  Mr. Tieman next married Elizabeth V., daugh-
ter of Elisha Avery, and to their union one son has been born, named
Grover Cleveland.  Mr. Tieman is a regularly ordained minister of the
Christian Church, and several years ago did regular work, but now only
preaches upon solicitation.  He is one of the most enterprising and
industrious citizens of Crawford County, and is highly respected.  He
is a stanch Democrat in politics, and cast his first presidential vote
for Abraham Lincoln.  Mrs. Tieman is also a member of the Christian
Church.
