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

C. H. Tiemann was born in Hanover, Germany about 1831, and is the son
of Kasper and Engel (Weankars) Tiemann, who were also natives of Han-
over, Germany, where the father died.  The mother came to St. Louis,
and died in that city.  Their family consisted of five children, the
second being our subject.  He received a very limited education, and
in early manhood hired out as a shepherd boy, receiving a certain per
cent of the flock as wages.  Having thus accumulated $200, and fearing
he would have to serve in the army, he paid his own fare and that of a 
companion in the same situation, and sailed for the United States.
Arriving in New York, in 1854, they found their means practically ex-
hausted but pushed on for St. Louis, and after enduring every hardship
found themselves, in 1855, in Washington, Franklin County, Mo.  By
working on the streets, on the river and on the railroad he made a
start, and from that he has gradually advanced until he is now one of
the first taxpayers of his township.  In 1864 he married Mrs. Anna
(Schuerkamp) Stork, who was born in the year 1842.  After marriage
they moved to St. Louis, where he teamed for two years.  In 1866 he
returned to Franklin County, and settled on the farm where he now 
lives, and which consists of 304 acres of land.  During the war he 
served a short time in the enrolled militia.  Mrs. Tiemann had one 
child, Gustav Stock, by her first marriage, and ten children by her
second.  They are named as follows: Fritz, Gottlieb, Henry, Louis,
Eddie, Herman, Anna, Ida, Adolph and Matilda.  Mr. Tiemann is a Repub-
lican in politics, and all the family are members of the Evangelical
Church.
