Gerhart Anton Dahlman. The late Gerhart Anton Dahlman of Deepwater township 
was born in Westphalia, Germany, February 2, 1832, and departed this life at his 
home near Germantown, June 1, 1910. He was the son of Herman and Mary Ann 
Dahlman who lived all of their lives in the land of their birth. Accompanied by his 
sister, Mrs. Henry Kalwei, Mr. Dahlman emigrated from Germany in 1869 and 
arrived at Germantown, Henry County, Missouri, in May, 1869. He stayed at 
Germantown for nine years and was employed by Anton Mucke and Joseph 
Schmedding. He purchased his farm in 1872 and moved a house from Germantown 
to his farm. In 1878 he returned to Germany for his sweetheart, to whom he was 
married in 1878, and at once set sail for his home in America. He married Annie 
Marie Krimphoff, who was born in Westphalia, Germany, September 2, 1855, the 
daughter of Henry and Mary Elizabeth (Renekamp) Krimphoff, both of whom spent 
all of their lives in Germany. The father died in 1880 and the mother in 1877. Mr. 
Dahlman was ably assisted in the work of improving his farm by his devoted wife 
who assisted him in the farm work, set out trees, hedges, and vines and they 
created a beautiful home. The Dahlman farm consists of eighty acres with 
thirteen acres of timber land in addition. The children born to Gerhart Anton and 
Annie Marie Dahlman are as follow: Elizabeth, born July 3, 1879, married 1899 to 
Robert Teeman, and has three children, Augusta, Richard, and Viola. Mrs. Dahlman 
has an adopted son, William Dahlman, born July 25, 1891, married September 28, 
1915, to Lorena Minnich, the daughter of George and Ora (Bradburn) Minnich, and 
granddaughter of William Minnich, a pioneer who stood guard at Germantown 
during the Civil War. Mr. and Mrs. Dahlman have one child, Martha Ann, born 
February 22, 1917. For some years or since the death of Mr. Dahlman, William has 
been managing the farm in the interest of his foster mother and has become a 
very successful farmer. The Dahlman land is underlaid with a vein of coal which 
has been mined for several years. The place is known as "The Fairview Farm," on 
account of the magnificent view of the surrounding country, which can be seen 
from the home. Mr. Dahlman, the younger, is a member of the Catholic Church, is a 
Republican, and belongs to Montrose Council No. 525, Knights of Columbus. He is 
an industrious, intelligent, well read young man who is a great reader and 
student who keeps himself well informed upon the events which are happening in 
the world today. Gerhart Anton Dahlman was one of the best of men and a highly 
respected citizen of the Germantown neighborhood. He loved his home and family 
and was a devout Catholic. No Henry County citizen is more worthy of 
representation in a history of his home county than Mr. Dahlman.
