FRANK LINDEMANN, dealer in general merchandise at Troy, began business on a very small scale in 1861. He now carries about a $2,500 stock of goods, and does an annual business of about $6,000. The date of Mr. Lindemann’s birth is not definitely known, but it was on March 13, about 1830. He is the son of Matthias and Mary A. (Lindemann) Lindemann, who emigrated to this county when he was quite young. After living in Cincinnati for several years, they removed to Dubois County, Ind., where the mother died. The father then returned to Cincinnati, where he passed the remainder of his days. Frank received no instruction in school, but obtained his education without the aid of a teacher. March 4, 1862, his marriage with Louisa Walker was solemnized, and to their union six children have been born. Himself and family are members of the Catholic Church. Mr. Lindemann began here with almost nothing, but by economy and close application to business he has succeeded in establishing a good trade.
