Herman A. Ulrich, one of the prominent farmers and beekeepers of the

to this country by his parents, who settled in "Buncombe Bottoms," St.
Louis Co., Mo., whence they removed to Jefferson County, where Herman
A. attended the common schools, completing his education at Oakfield
Academy.  Inheriting but a small amount of property from his father, he
has added thereto until he is now the owner of a well cultivated farm
of 160 acres.  In 1871 he married Miss Anna Springmeyer, of Jefferson
County, Mo., who was born February 22, 1852 and who died in 1873, the
mother of two children: Ferdinand E. and Christianna E.  In 1880 Mr.

youngest of the six children of Gottlieb and Christianna B. (Guenther)
Ulrich, also natives of Prussia.  Gottlieb Ulrich served three years in
the German regular army, he was a butcher by trade, but engaged in
