GEORGE NEUMANN

	Some time in 1886, George Neumann landed in Cheney, Washington, and 
in April of the same year penetrated to the country where he now resides, he 
being one of three settlers then in this section.  He settled on his present 
place, about four miles southeast from Fruitland, and at once set to work 
to build a home.  He has succeeded in an admirable manner as is 
testified by his valuable place, all of which he has cleared from
the timber.  He has good improvements, raises abundant crops and 
handles stock.
	George Neumann was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, on April
5, 1858, the son of Adolph and Carolina Neumann, both now deceased.
Our subject was well educated in his native place, and remained on the 
farm with his parents during his minority.  At the age of twenty-one 
he enlisted in the German army and served three years.  In 1884, he
landed in New York and later went to Milwaukee.  He had learned the
cheesemaker's art in the old country, and followed it two years in
Milwaukee.  Then came the trip to Cheney, mentioned above.  Mr.
Neumann has his place well watered from a spring creek and the out
range is abundant.
	Fraternally he is affiliated with the Foresters at Davenport,
and in political matters he supports the principles of the Democratic
party.  Two brothers, Hans and Werner, live in this same vicinity.
