Bio
NIERMAN FUNERAL HELD AT AMHERST Resident of County 34 Years Dies February 2 at Amherst Home Funeral services were conducted on Wednesday afternoon at Amherst for Fred Nierman, a resident of the Amherst community the past 34 years, who died Monday morning, February 2, at his home. The final rites were held at the St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church with the pastor, Rev. Harold Brauer, officiating. Burial was made in the Amherst Cemetery. Active pallbearers were Walter Leben, William Radtke, Leonard Rodeman, Fred Rafert, Wilfred Schmidt and George Rafert. Serving as honorary pallbearers were Herman Senstock, Sr., Julius Schmidt, Henry Rodeman, Ernest Rehfeld, H.W. Bauer and Charles Helms. Mr. Nierman, who was 75 years, six months and 10 days old at the time of his death, suffered a heart attack the previous week. His eyesight commenced failing him 35 years ago, at which time he submitted to operations at Omaha, Nebraska, for the removal of cataracts. Following the operations, his sight was restored and he was again able to read and manage his business affairs. However, his advanced age and weakened optic nerve caused almost total blindness during his last eight years. Johann Friedrich Nierman, known as Fred Nierman, was born July 23, 1866, at Brownstown in Jackson County, Indiana, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Nierman. During his infancy, he was baptized in the Lutheran Church and he was confirmed in that faith May 2, 1880, at Wegen, Indiana. He received his education in the parochial schools at Wegen. In 1880, Mr. Nierman left Indiana and moved to Pierce County in Nebraska to seek employment. The marriage of Mr. Nierman and Miss Ida Stark was solemized February 9, 1893. Following their marriage, they established their home on a farm near Osmond, Nebraska, where they lived until 1909, when they and their children moved to Phillips County and settled on a farm one and one-half miles east of Amherst. Mr. and Mrs. Nierman retired from the farm in 1920 and moved into Amherst, where they had built a new home. Mrs. Nierman died February 27, 1926, and since that time the late Mr. Nierman had resided in the home with one of his children or other relatives living with him. Throughout his life, he was a member of the Lutheran Church. He was a charter member of the St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church at Amherst, which congregation he helped to organize in 1910. Surviving are three sons, Otto C., Clarence and F.W. Nierman of Amherst; three daughters, Mrs. Arthur Schmidt and Mrs. E.C. Schmidt of Amherst and Mrs. E.J. Davis of Sedgwick; a brother, Ed Nierman, of Brownstown, Indiana, three sisters, Mrs. Henry Horstman, Mrs. William Horstman and Mrs. William Quade of Browntown, Indiana; 24 grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter.
