T. F. HIMMEL, farmer and stock-dealer; P. O. Topeka; son of Adam Himmel, who was born in 1803, and came with his family to Illinois in 1848. Being one of the early settlers of this county, he carly engaged in improving the raw prairie, and by the assist- ance of his industrious companion, whose maiden name was Wise, they had gathered a portion of this world's goods ere their allotted threescore years had passed. This accu- mulation has been handed down to their nine children. They were both church mem- bers of the Evangelical Association, in which communion she died in 1866. She was born in 1804, and of course did not reach the allotted span of life, as has her companion who is now 76 years old, with a prospect of adding yet more years to a ripe old age. The subject of this sketch was born April 17, 1851, on a farm in Mason Co., Ill., where he remained with his father, until married, June 6, 1871, to Elmira Yunker, daughter of Lawrence Yunker, of Germany. She was born May 16, 1854, and came with her people to Illinois, in 1860; they now live in Peoria Co. After marriage they settled on the old homestead of their father, of 190 acres. half of which he has made by his own labor and management, and the rest was inherited ; his aged father, of whom we have spoken, makes his home with him. Their marriage blessed them with four children-Annie, Frank, Liddie and Elmira ; he and his wife are members of the Evangelical Church at Bishop's Station, in which association's Sabbath school, he has held the offices of Libra- rian and Treasurer. Mr. Ilimmel makes a specialty of shelling corn for the public. He is agent for Smith's American and the Mendota Organ Companies, and takes quite an interest in music, an enthusiasm which began in 1870, during which year, he attend- ed the Northwestern College, at Plainfield, Will Co., Ill.
JOHN W. HIMMEL, farmer and stock-dealer; P. O. Topeka; son of Adam Himmel, of Germany, who came to Illinois in 1846, and is still living in Quiver Town- ship. Mr. Himmel's mother's maiden name was Weiss, daughter of Henry Weiss, of Ger- many, a teacher and musician. The subject of this sketch was born Aug. 12, 1830, in Ger- many, and remained there until 16, occupied with going to school at Weinheim; in 1846, he came to New Orleans, and shortly afterward to St. Louis, Mo., and was engaged in the Arsenal, making cartridges for the Mexican war, continuing for five years, when he came to Mason Co., Ill., and engaged in working on a farm for his unele George Himmel for four years; he then went to making rails; in 1854, he began farm- ing for himself, on a farm now owned by J. Shrine, and remained there four years; in 1858, he bought the present farm of 160 acres, which he has made one of fine quality : he has added largely to his land, owning also quite an amount in Iowa. His marriage with Elizabeth Pfeit, daughter of John Pfeit, of Germany, was celebrated in 1854, nine children were the fruit of this union. In 1851, Mr. Himmel experienced relig - ion in the Evangelical Association, in which work he throws his whole soul, and has been a local minister since 1858; his wife and part of the children are members of the same denomination : he has held offices in the church, and was Township Collector for sev- eral years, and is, at present, Township Treasurer and Assessor, and has been for ten years; he is also Treasurer of the Farmers' Fire Insurance Company, of Mason Co .; he prides himself on securing for his children valuable literature; to record, here. what friends and neighbors have said to us of him would appear too much of flattery for these pages.
