HERMAN SUHR, of the firm of Schnack &Suhr, agricultural implement dealers, at Scribner, a history of whose business appears elsewhere in this work, is a native of Germany, born January 14, 1836, and is a carpenter by occupation.
May 27, 1864, he became the husband of Anna A. Frerichs, who was also a native of Germany. In 1867 they landed in New York, and from there went to Iowa County, Iowa, where he followed brick making one summer and then bought a farm of eighty acres which he cultivated until the autumn of 1871, when he sold and came to Dodge County, Nebraska, and settled on land he had previously purchased in Cuming township. He remained there on the farm until the spring of 1882, when he rented his farm and returned to his old home in Germany, on a visit, returning the following autumn. He still continued to work his farm until the spring of 1889, when he rented it and removed to Scribner, where he lived a retired life for a time, but being of a restless disposition and always accustomed to work, he went into partnership with Henry Schnack, in the agricultural machinery business, which he still follows.
Mr. Suhr is a member of the German Lutheran Church, is a staunch Democrat in his political belief and has held various township offices. He is one of the large land-holders of Dodge County, owning five hundred acres of farm land. He is a business man, and can write and speak both the English and German languages.
The hand of affliction was laid upon our subject by the death of his companion, who died February 4, 1891, at Scribner. The date of her birth was May 20, 1840; date of her marriage 1864, having been a companion on the road of life for twenty-seven years. This was a severe blow to Mr. Suhr.
