William Oltmanns came to Hampton in 1853. He was born January 9, 1842, in Germany, and emigrated to the United States with his brother-in-law when quite young, his father and mother having previously died.
On coming to this country, and on attaining an age equal to the emergency, he began work as a farm laborer, and continued in that vocacation until 1862; during that year he enlisted in Co. I, 2d Iowa Regt., for three months, and at the expiration of his term of enlistment he re-enlisted in the 10th Iowa Vol. Inf., and served until the close of
the war, receiving an honorable discharge. He participated in many battles and skirmishes, in fact, in all in which his company engaged, and received no serious wound.
After the war was over and the cause for which he fought was victorious, he went to California and engaged in gold-mining and prospecting, and at the same time fighting the Indians. He remained in that State for eight years, then went to China, on board the good ship "Golden City," and remained there three months, then returned to San Francisco.
From the latter place he came to Hampton, where he remained a short time, and then took a trip to Germany, his native land, and was absent about four months; then returned to Hampton. Since going to that place he has purchased 157 acres of land.
Mr. Oltmanns was united in marriage to Miss Emma Beierlein, May 13, 1875. She is a native of Rock Island. Their union has been blessed with two children, William and Clara. Mr. Oltmanns, politically, is identified with the Republican party, and religiously he and his wife are members of the Lutheran Church.
