He is the son of William and Margaret Logerbrinck, natives, respectively, of Osenbrook, Germany and Holland. They came from the old country about 1840 and located in Boles Township, Franklin Co., Mo., where he engaged in farming. Both parents are now deceased. Their family consisted of two children, our subject and a sister named Rosa, now the wife of Louis Smith, of Stockton, Cal. Herman secured a fair education in the schools of Franklin County, and is a well infor- med man. He remained with his mother until twenty one years of age, after which he engaged in agricultural pursuits in Macoupin County, Ill., where he had control of a large farm. After remaining there three years he came back to Franklin County, where he engaged in farm- ing, and trading in stock and timber, which he still continues. In 1874 he began dealing in farming implements for Spillman & Coleman, of St. Louis, at Moselle, which he has also continued. At the time of going into the implement business he also added a stock of hard- ware, and has continued to add to his stock until he now deals in all kinds of goods: dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, hats, caps, clothing, etc. He buys grain, wood, and all kinds of produce and is having a thriving business. He was married January 19, 1882, to Miss Susan Varney, a native of Ohio, born in 1860, and the fruits of this union were three children: R. Lee, Shell F. and Marietta. Mr. Loger- brinck is a Democrat in his political views, and is an active, enter- prising citizen.
