Otto A BiermannBorn Jul. 27, 1882 in Hanover DE
Died May 11, 1957
"Otto Bierman, well known farmer, living near Craig, has received letter from his oldest brother who lives on the old homestead in Germany. The house and land have been handed down from generation to generation, the eldest son in the family coming into possession of the property at the death of the father. The house in which Mr. Bierman was born is in good repair. It was built in 1546 and mr. Birman says they have the family tree complete from that time. The brother is in possession of the farm, at this time, has no son to take his place and it looks a though this generation will be the last of the line."
