Johann
Heinrich NIEMANN was
born on October 3, 1812 in Hanover. He
died on January 25, 1880 in Monroe County, OH.
He was buried on January 27, 1880 in Zion Cemetery, Ohio Township,
Monroe County, Ohio.
The NIEMANN MYSTERY: The Niemanns apparently migrated between
1841-48. Frederick, the oldest son of Johann Heinrich (Henry Sr.), was born in 1841 in Germany. Family
tradition states Henry Jr. was born in 1848 in Cincinnati, but there is so far
no indication the family ever lived in Cincinnati. All records give his
birthplace as Cincinnati. His daughter,
Lizzie Niemann Romick, said Henry's family settled in Clermont County and Fred
remained there. Fred did live in
Clermont County after service in the Civil War and he died there in 1897.
The family tradition stated
that Henry Sr. was born and married in Holland. However, he always gave his birthplace as Hanover. Could Henry Sr. have migrated from a port in
Holland, thus explaining the confusion
Second tradition: Henry Jr.'s mother died when he was nine
days old and he never knew her name.
Third tradition: Henry Sr.'s second wife's maiden name was
Cook. This was incorrect. Church records identify her name as
Deckenbrock or Tickenbraugh. This story
apparently came from a meeting between one of Henry Sr. s grandchildren
(Lizzie s brother) and a Cook woman in Chicago. The woman told the grandson that they were related and explained
the relationship. Unfortunately, the
relationship was not recalled. On
researching Charles Niemann, who served as administrator of Fred Niemann s
estate and was referred to as a cousin, it was noted that Charles sister
Amelia married a Cook. Charles and
Amelia were children of George Niemann and Caroline Siemann who were born in
Germany, married in Cincinnati in 1855 and both died there.
Fourth tradition: Mary Deckenbrock/Tickenbraugh Niemann had a
daughter, Wilhemenia or Minnie, before she married Henry Sr. The family referred to Minnie as a half
sister although Lizzie Niemann Romick, d/o Henry Jr., further explained that
Minnie was a stepchild to Henry Sr.
Minnie's death record lists Henry Sr. as her father but court documents
in the estate of Frederick Niemann did not identify her as a sister. In the 1860 census of Monroe County, Ohio,
Henry Jr. and Minnie are both listed as 12 and a note by the enumerator states
they were twins. This is the only place
that statement has ever occurred. Minnie s death record and her obituary
identify Henry Niemann as her father.
Where was Henry Sr. and family in 1850? The Niemanns arrived in Monroe County in 1855 (source: land deed
and Henry Jr.'s obit). Frederick Niemann was confirmed there in 1856, but he is
not with the family in 1860. He
enlisted in the army in Barthlomew County, IN, which would suggest a connection
to southwestern Ohio where he settled after the war.

She was
faithful but she had fun. She was a joy
to be around. She was always busy, but
she had plenty of time to help her neighbor.
But most of all, she was a worker for the Lord.
She was
plain, but she was beautiful. She drew
clear, cool water from her old-fashioned well and her pitcher pump that she
loved so well. She loved popcorn, dominoes and sweet little children. And she was always kind.
She loved
her friends and was loved by all. She
longed for the loved ones just out of sight, now she's with them. Her Spirit will always hover 'round her
family and her precious old home here below.
She was so good to know."
