Nicholas Hinderer, manufacturer of plows, harrows and other agricultural 
implements, was born in Columbus, Ohio, May 27, 1841. He was there brought up 
and acquired an education, and in 1859 began learning the trade of plow making in 
the manufactory of Roberts & Taylor, with whom he worked till 1861. Then he 
enlisted in Company B, Second Ohio Regiment, U S. A., and served with that 
company three months, when he joined (in February, 1864) Company D, 186th Ohio 
Regiment. He was in action till the close of the war, and was mustered out at 
Lexington, Kentucky, in August, 1865. Returning to Columbus, Ohio, he entered the 
employ of Gibbon & Dieur, plow manufacturers, and remained with them for seven 
years. In 1871 he came to Henry County, Missouri, and was engaged in farming till 
1875, in which year he established his present factory. Although the plow 
factory run by Mr. H. is yet comparatively in its infancy, it bids fair to become 
one of the leading industries of Clinton. Work of their manufacture already has a 
preference over other makes in this market, or, in fact, wherever they are sold. 
Mr. Hinderer was married in April, 1863, to Miss Christena H. Staley, a native of 
Germany. They have two children, George N. and Emma. He is a member of the I. O. 
O. F. fraternity.
