Early Pioneer Laid At Rest
Fred Mittman was born in Börden, Germany, on March 4, 1853. With his parents, he came to this country at the age of 10 years. The family settled in Illinois. At twenty-three, he married Margaret Lotter, and they resided in Naperville, Illinois, for a little over a year.
Mr. and Mrs. Mittman migrated to Nebraska in 1879. They homesteaded eighty acres of land, four miles east and five and a half miles south of Minden, which was still owned by Mr. Mittman when he died on January 3 of this year.
To this union were born six children: Carolyn, George, Margaret, all living, and Fred, Annie, and Mary, all preceding him in death. His good wife also preceded him in death forty-eight years ago.
Mr. Mittman was of that hardy pioneer stock that made the development of the plains country possible. President Cleveland signed the deed to his homestead during his first term in office. Kearney County was a bleak prairie wilderness in those days.
Mr. Mittman was one of the original trustees who built the first Catholic church in the county. Fred Mittman, as a young, sturdy pioneer, had faith in Kearney County. He proceeded to build a home for his family. He was forced to travel to the Republican River to gather wood for fuel. He hauled grain to Kearney. He knew the hardships of the early pioneers, but through it all, he never lost his faith in the land and Kearney County, a faith he clung to until the end.
The family moved to Minden in 1909, where Mr. Mittman made his home until the end.
