Edward F. Niemann, one of the progressive and successful
business men of Mount Olive, Macoupin County, member of the well known and
enterprising firm of Niemann Brothers, dealers in building lumber, sash,
doors, blinds, shingles, lath, builders' supplies, lime, cement, plaster,
hair, etc., was born in Mount Olive, March 26, 1864. He is a son of the late
prominent citizen, John C. Niemann and Anna (Stullken) Niemann, the latter
of whom still resides in Mount Olive.
Mr. Niemann received an
excellent common school education and assisted his father in his
agricultural enterprises prior to embarking in his present business in 1896,
in association with his brother, William L. Niemann, of whom a sketch will
be found in this volume. The business has been constantly expanded until
this firm has grown to be the largest of its kind in the county. Its success
has been partly on account of the demand of the public for thoroughly
reliable goods and partly through the energy and progressive methods which
characterize the management.
In 1897 Mr. Niemann was married to Anna
Remmert, who is a daughter of the late Henry Remmert, of Mount Olive. They
have one child, Lonieda, born March 6, 1898. Mr. Niemann, like his late
father, and other members of the family, is a member of the Lutheran Church.
He is deeply interested in the development of his section and is prominent
in all public spirited enterprises. The Niemann family has long been one of
the wealthiest and most prominent in the southeastern section of the county.
