Biographical Sketch of Gottlieb Grossmann, Gasconade County, Missouri

>From "History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and 
Gasconade Counties", Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing 
Company, 1888.

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

Gottlieb Grossmann, an early settler of Gasconade County, is the son of
Michael and Jacobine (Schoenthaler) Grossmann, both natives of Wurtem-
berg, Germany, where they were married, and where they reared a family
of five children, two sons and three daughters. The father was a farmer
by occupation.  In 1887 they came to the United States, and the follow-
ing spring settled on the farm on which Gottlieb now resides.  The
father was a soldier in the war with France in 1813, and a Democrat in
politics.  Both parents lived to be about sixty-two years old. The sub-
ject of this sketch, the second child, was born in Wurtemberg, Germany,
in 1818, and came to the United States with his parents.  In 1850 he
married Miss Christina Rapp, also a native of Wurtemberg, Germany, born
in 1827, and to this union were born seven children, two sons and five
daughters.  After their marriage they settled upon their present place
of residence, consisting of 270 acres, of which five acres are in 
grapes.  Both he and wife are members of the Evangelical Church, and in
politics Mr. Grossman is conservative, voting for the man rather than 
the party.  He is a good farmer, and as a business man he has been 
quite successful.
