| 927 | I07292 | William Frederick Hohman (partial article) 1979 Washington County History book. Henry came from Seidinghausen in Northwestern Germany as a young man, having been baptized in a very old church whose foundation stones go back to the days of Charlemagne in the 9th century. The Hohmans were farmers and shoemakers. The shoe business was continued in Nashville for three generations by Henry, son William, grandson Howard. . . . At time of death William Hohman was president of Turst Building and Loan and in show business with son Howard. Was a member of St. Paul U.C.C. and held various offices. By: Ruth Hohman Henry was born in the little village, named Siedinghausen, near Minden, in Westphalia in northwestern Germany and went to church and was baptized in a very old church (tradition has it that the church and possibly a few of its aactual foundation stones go back to the days of Charlemagne in the 9th century). It is definitely "Charlemagne territory" and lovely countryside, with rolling hills, quaint old barns and wooden painted statues of saints under the gables and a famous "kaisers denkmal", or statue on a river bend nearby, called Bergkirchen. Both Siedinghausen and Bergkirchen are really only crossroads, with Minden, for which our New Minden in Washington Co. was named, the nearest fairly large town (by 1969, it had grown to about 50,000). The description of this area was given me by Elmo Hohman, who visited there in 1929 and again in 1958. He found the actual house where Henry lived still standing and occupied by the widow of a distant cousin named Hohman. The Hohmans were combined farmers and shoemakers and teh shoe business was carried on in Nashville for three generations - by Henry - his son, William and William's son Howard. Next to the church at Bergkirchen, which is very old and interesting is a cemetery which contains many names of families now living around Nashville, who are their descendants. Henry left Germany in the 1850's, sailing from Bremen in a sailing boat to New Orleans - then up the Mississippi by river boat and on to Nashville, Illinois. He left Germany as a young man, in order to escape army duty, which was required of all young men when they reached a certain age. After arriving in America, it was said that his conscience bothered him, so he enlisted in the army here during the Civil War. He was a member of the 49th Infanatry Regiment. He was one of 8 brothers and sisters who eventually came to the U.S. Henry's obituary said he died after a long illness (believed to have been cancer), at the age of 59. To quote from the obituary which appeared in a Nashville German newspaper, "The deceased was a good citizen, good Christian, good husband, good father, member of the church and many years Council Member of St. Paul's Evangelical Church. |
| 928 | I07293 | William owned and operated a retail shoe store in the Hohman building in Nashville, Illinois. In early years he had as his partner his cousin, George Hohman, and tehy not only sold shoes but also repaired them. In later years George went into the ministry and William's son, Howard, joined him in the shoe business. Will died suddenly of a heart attach in his store. |
| 929 | I07294 | John and Emma lived for a short time in Salem, Illinois, and then returned to Nashville, where he in partnership with Henry Paul, opened a hardward store sometime before 1900. In 1908, Mr. Paul sold his interest to Frank Gewe and went West for his health. John was one of the original owners of the Hohman Building, which was built in 1913 adn occupied by three Hohman brothers - John; William and Edward. When Edward left Nashville to move to Chicago, his interest in the building was purchased by Dr. George Green, his brother-in-law (husband of Clara Hohman). He occupied on of the upstairs offices until he died. The only remaining member of the Hohman family to occupy the building since the death in 1965 of Howard Hohman is Dr. Edgar Reinhardt, son-in-law of Dr. Green, who, until the building was sold in April of 1971 to Donald Williamson, was part owner. John died in a Mt. Vernon hospital, unexpectedly, following surgery and while seemingly making a good recovery. From "Hoffmans 1662 - 1772" Compiled by Bernice Reinhardt |
