Individual:
I originally had his name as just "William", born Nov 1851.
James Beach Had his name as "John Willaim", born Nov 17, 1851.
Both Louis Risser and William Tangeman were living in Talmage, Otoe County, Nebraska, in 1890. William, aged 48, was a hardware salesman, and had been married to his wife Eliza for 19 years. They had two chlidren:
*Elmer Tangeman, born in February 1882 in Nebraska, who was a grocery salesman in 1900.
*Ella Tangeman, born June 1883 in Nebraska.
William and Eliza owned their own home free and clear and had a boarder, Bruno Schotler, a 28 year old German Saloon Keeper. William's brother-in-law Louis Risser lived nearby and was also a saloon keeper, quite probably Bruno's employer.13 Apr 20024:17:231870 Iowa Census M593-376 p201 has
Tangeman, Wm Age 18, Male, White, b. Iowa, r. Benton Co, Blairstown28 Apr 200215:37:59This COULD be the William Tangeman living with John Book in Blairstown, IA in 1870. His uncle A.J. married a "Buch" and lives in the same town next to a "Buck". All of the Buch/Book/Buck's are from Hesse.
The one problem is that Book's Wm Tangeman's mother isn't supposed to be foreign born.28 Apr 200216:42:25

Subject: Re: Tangeman Family
To: Jim Burrows
Jim:
Our records are very close, but contain some key (at least in my line!) differences. To start
from the beginning, my research began several years ago when my great grandmother Edna Ring(nee Tangeman) told me many stories about her relatives in Talmage, Nebraska. Fortunately, Iwrote most of these stories down before she passed away, and based on this I was able to tracethe Tangeman family back to their native German town of Hanover through research at theNational Archives and the Daughters of the American Revolution. Here's what I found out:
John G. Tangeman immigrated to the US in 1832 at age 10 with his parents, living at first in
Auglaize County, Ohio. (John was born July 25, 1882, and died November 1, 1904). The Tangemanfamily which immigrated consisted of his father (whose name, I am fairly certain, was HermanHenry, and he died in Ohio on October 2, 1840), his mother Anna H. (b. 1796), and at least twosiblings, his brothers David (b. 1828) and Herman (b. 1830). John also had four brothers,Jackson (b. 1832), William (b. 1836), and twins George and August (b. 1839) who were all bornin Ohio.
Around 1840, perhaps after the death of the father, they all moved to Clayton County,
Garnavillo Township, Iowa. They lived here for about 30 years.
John met and married Anna Maria (I'm fairly certain her maiden name was Harns but not positive)
in Clayton County, Iowa around 1848. Anna Maria came to the U.S. in 1837 at age 5 (she wasborn October 31, 1832, and died May 14, 1889) with her mother (her father died three yearsbefore they emigrated from Germany). Mother and daughter first lived in Cincinnati, then movedto Clayton County.
John G. and Anna Maria had six children that I knew of:
Henry (or Heinrich), born October 31,1849, died September 21, 1877
John William, born November 17, 1851 d. 1916
Herman Henry (b. July 4, 1853, died November 2, 1936)
Anna b. 1856
Mary b. 1862
Alvena b. August 14, 1863, died January 1, 1913)
I do not have a record of Jenny, and am intrigued by it, especially since you mentioned a
person she married. My great grandmother also did not mention Arthur, although I have a linewith a question mark next to the names of the children which would seem to indicate there wereother siblings she could not quite remember.
My great grandmother also told me the following:
- Anna was never married
- She remembered that Mary was married to a Risser
- Alvena married Jacob Hopp
- John William married Lizzie O. Risser in Otoe County, Nebraska. Lizzie was born in Lee
County, Iowa on December 4, 1858, and died in 1917. She was the daughter of David andChristina (nee Hubach) Risser.- Herman Henry was my great great grandfather
Other items of interest include:
- I have a short biography of John William and his brother Herman Henry.
- I have an illustration of the Tangeman flour mill, which was originally built by John G., and
was run by Herman Henry. The illustration is of the "new" fluor mill built in 1884, after theold one was destroyed by a fire. The fluor mill still exists and is operational today, beingcalled the Talmage Fluor Mill. I'm not certain if the mill in the illustration is stillstanding.- I have been to the cemetary near Talmage, Nebraska where most of the Tangemans rest. There
is a small church adjacent to the cemetary which contains all of the old wedding, birth, andother records.
If you would like copies of the biographies and the illustration, let me know. I can either
fax them or w them to you.
I'm sorry I don't have this in GEDCOM format yet - I'm planning to do so shortly and will e-
mail it to you if you wish.
I hope this is of some help.
Take care and stay in touch.

JOHN W. TANGEMAN. This gentleman is a member of the firm, well-known in business circles throughout the county, of Becker & Tangeman, doing
business at Talmage, McWilliams Precinct. They are handling all kinds of hardware, both for farm, household, and other purposes,agricultural implements, etc. The firm was established in 1882, and succeeded the business house of T. E. Farnsworth. The trade is quiteextensive, and has grown to represent a business of about $60,000 annually. This year promises to go some thousand above that figure, foralthough their patrons are chiefly local, yet the territory drawn upon is very large. The reputation of the firm and their excellent stockaccount for the large business done.
Previous to engaging in his present business Mr. Tangeman followed agricultural pursuits in Osage Precinct of this county for about one
year. His residence in the county dates from the year 1868; the greater pact of the time he made his residence in that precinct with hisfather, John G. Tangeman, who was an extensive farmer, and our subject remained until he attained his majority, when he started out forhimself.
The subject of our sketch was born in Clayton County, Iowa, Nov. 17, 1851. He is the second child of six born to his parents. His father
was a native of Hanover, Germany, when ten years of age accompanying his parents to this country. They located in Auglaize County, Ohio,removing subsequently to Clayton County, Iowa. There they continued to live for about thirty years. There also are laid the scenes of youthand early manhood of Mr. Tangeman, Sr., and also that of his marriage; his wife, like himself, was born in Hanover. She was but five yearsof age when her mother brought her to America, and their home was made in the city of Cincinnati. Her father died in Germany about threeyears prior to the emigration of his widow to this country. From Cincinnati the mother removed to Clayton County, her daughter of courseaccompanying her. After about one year the mother died at her home, and later the daughter united her fortunes and life with that of oursubject, as above mentioned.
The parents of our subject are now living in Jennings, La., having gone South in the spring of 1888. They had been residents of Otoe
County for eighteen years. The father had been interested in milling and farming, and still owns an interest in the flouring-mill inMcWilliams Precinct. He is, however, retired from active participation in business affairs. In the Lutheran Church the father and mother areactive and respected members, and have so continued throughout their lives.
The subject of our sketch was educated in Blairstown, Benton Co., Iowa, and received a thorough, serviceable, English education. He came
to Nebraska before he was of age, and married Miss Lizzie O. Risser in Osage Precinct, Otoe County. This lady was born in Lee County, Iowa,on the 4th of December, 1858. She is the daughter of David and Christina (Hubach) Risser, both of whom look to the Fatherland as the placeof their nativity. There also they were brought up, educated and married, but came to the United States almost immediately after thatimportant and interesting incident. They also at first made their home in Ohio, but removed thence to Lee County, Iowa, where they livedupon a farm until 1870, from there removing as a family to Osage Precinct in this county, where they have since continued to followhusbandry. They also are attached to the German Lutheran Church, in which they were brought up.
Mrs. Tangeman, the wife of our subject, was educated after she came to this county. She is now the mother of two children, who have
received the names of Elmer and Ella. These are now receiving instruction in the schools of Talmage, and with the additional advantageswhich are theirs in this direction, doubtless their future will be brightened by the roseate halo of successful life. Our subject and wifeare members in good standing of the Lutheran Church. Mr. T. indeed holds the office of Deacon, which he has filled since 1888. Politically,he is a Republican, and enjoys the confidence and esteem of his fellows and the community tit large.
OTOE COUNTY, pp 610-613
JACOB HOPP. This gentleman is a member of the firm of Tangeman & Sons, of McWilliams Precinct, engaged in the milling trade, and has been so
connected since the fall of the year 1884. He has been directly and profitably engaged with the firm, and is a practical miller, havinglearned the business in all its details in the mill he now operates. Our subject has been a resident of the county for over ten years,living chiefly in Osage Precinct until he began to learn the milling trade.
The subject of our sketch was born in Lee County, Iowa, on the 29th of July. 1859. He is the fourth child and second son of Plillip (sic)
Hopp, now a prominent citizen and successful and enterprising farmer in Osage Precinct, where he has lived for over ten years. He is apractical farmer, thrifty and careful. He had previously lived in Lee County, Iowa, where our subject was brought up and received hiseducation in the district schools.
Mr. Hopp was about nineteen years of age when he came to this State. He attained his majority while living in Osage Precinct, and
continued to make his home with his parents until he came to the Tangeman Mills. He celebrated his marriage in McWilliams Precinct, when hewas united with Miss Alvina Tangeman. This lady was born in Clayton County, Iowa, on the 14th of August, 1863, and was but a child of sixyears when her father, John G. Tangeman, settled in this precinct. To Mr. and Mrs. Hopp has been born one child, who received the nameLillie.
The religious home of our subject and his wife is within the German Evangelical Church, with which they have been connected many years.
He is the School Treasurer of his precinct, an office he has held since 1886. He is also one of the stanch Democrats of the district andtakes much interest in political work. Although a young man he has made many friends and is highly esteemed, and without doubt there isbefore him a future that will grow brighter as the years pass.
p 648-651
HERMAN H. TANGEMAN, member of the firm of Tangeman & Sons, who operate the well-known flouring-mill on the Nemaha River, in the northwest
part of McWilliams Precinct, has reason to be proud of this enterprise, with which he became connected in the spring of 1882. It is one ofthe leading institutions of its kind in the county, and is patronized by its best citizens far and near. The property is of more thanordinary interest and importance to our subject, the mill having been established by his father, John G. Tangeman.
The present building was erected in 1884, upon the site of the old mill which had been destroyed by fire. It has been fitted up with all
the modern machinery, including five double-run of rollers, and operating by the patent process so much in favor in this latter day. Thereis a 60-horse power engine, driven by water, transported from the wheel to the mill by a cable in an even, unobstructed stream over a groovewheel nine feet in diameter. The entire machinery moves easily and without friction, and in a year's time puts out probably 15,000 barrelsof flour, besides meat and other commodities. The firm of Tangeman & Sons are able to compete with the best manufacturers of flour inSouthwestern Nebraska, and supply a considerable foreign demand, their patronage extending throughout this and adjoining States. A view ofthe mill with its surroundings is shown on the accompanying page.
Our subject was the third child of his parents, whose family comprised six children, and was born in Clayton County, Iowa, July 4, 1853.
He was reared and educated in his native township, and was a youth of sixteen years when the family came to Nebraska. They settled in OsagePrecinct, this county, and the father in 1881 established the present mill business, where Herman H. acquired the practical knowledge whichis serving him so well at the present time, Since the retirement of his father he has managed the business in an admirable, manner, andwithout embarrassment.
One of the most important events in the life of our subject was his marriage, which occurred Dec. 11, 1881, the maiden of his choice
being Miss Hopp. Mrs. Tangeman is a native of Lee County, Iowa, and was born in Charleston Township, Dec. 11, 1861. Her father, PhillipHopp, a very successful farmer, is a resident of Osage Precinct, where he has lived for many years. The parental family included ninechildren. Mrs. Tangeman received a fair education in the common schools, and remained with her parents until her marriage. She is now themother of one child, a daughter, Leonora L., who was born April 6, 1887. Our subject, politically, is a sound Republican, and with hisexcellent wife, a member of the German Evangelical Church, of Osage Precinct. He has never sought office, but at the solicitation of thepeople of his school district serves as Director.Date: 4 Mar 2006

The wife of M. G. Reed, of South Branch precinct, disappeared from home late last
Sunday night, and at this writing she has not been found. Mr. Reed, we understand wasaway from home at the time and returned to find Mrs. Reed gone and her child but tendays old alone, crying. Instantly the neighborhood was aroused and search institutedthroughout the section. The creeks were closely examined, some thinking she might havebeen drowned. Finally it was found that she in all probability had gone to NebraskaCity and crossed the river at that point. Some parties had seen a woman answering thedescription of Mrs. Reed at several places between her home and Nebraska City. It issupposed she went from the latter place to Shenandoah, Iowa, and there took the trainintending to go to some point in Kansas where she has relatives living. The lady wassupplied with clothing and money. Evidently, Mrs. Reed had become suddenly aberrantin her mind, and it is to be hoped that she will soon be found and restored to herhome.

MRS. REED FOUND.
The body terribly mangled by hogs.
Last monday morning the news came to our town, that the body of Mrs. Reed, the wife of
M. J. [sic.] Reed, of South Branch precinct, was found about 8 miles south ofSyracuse, in a corn field. Repairing to the place indicated we found the story tootrue. In Wm. Tangeman's corn field in Osage precinct, a little over eight miles southof this place, there lay the mutilated remains of the unfortunate lady, who on the21st day of August last, in a temporary fit of insanity, wandered from her home to diein a horrible manner.
The facts of the finding [of] the body are these: Last Saturday afternoon, the 17th
inst., while Herman Tangeman was husking corn in the field mentioned, he came upon alot of female apparel which lay in a pile on the ground. He did not notice any humanremains at the time. The clothing was not disturbed, and the next morning, thinkingthat something might be wrong, he went to see Justice D. Doeden, of that precinct.While he was at Doeden's house, Jacob Showalter and Wm. Tangeman went to the cornfield and the former first discovered what was left of the body of Mrs. Reed. Anumber of people in the neighborhood was informed of the circumstance, and a messengerwas immediatly [sic.] dispatched to notify coroner Whitten of the finding of the body. Monday afternoon Sheriff Geo. R. McCallum as acting coroner, ordered constable FrankMyers of Osage precinct, to summon a jury; and the investigation proceeded on the openprairie, in the road, just outside of the corn field. About forty persons werepresent. Jacob Showalter, Herman Tangemann, Wm. Tangemann, M. Reed, Miss Alice Reed,David Reed and D. Doeden were the witnesses examined, and the facts elicited amountedto what has already been published.
The remains were about ten or twelve rods from the road. The main portion of the
skull was in one place, the lower jaw of the same was several feet away; a few of thelarger bones of the body was found two and three rods apart from each other. Theflesh was all gnawed off by hogs and perhaps wolves. The clothes lay in such a manneras to indicate that Mrs. Reed had wandered during that sad Sunday night, about fourweeks ago, until worn out by travel and weak from exposure, that she crept into thislonely corn field; and being deranged in mind, she thought she was at home, and tookoff her clothing to retire for the night, about eight miles from her home. At theside of her apparel were her shoes and stockings tied togather [sic.], looking as ifshe had been carrying them while travelling [sic]. Every article of the clothing wasidentified by the husband and daughter of the deceased, who were present at theinquest.
The following is the verdict of the coroner's jury:
