Emanuel & Martha Ziemann
IMANUEL (EMANUEL) ZIEMANN
Emanuel was born to Johann and Susanna (Lang) Ziemann on January 17, 1878, at 8 a.m. Benkendorf, Bessarbia, Russia. He was baptized the same day as was the custom in those days, because the death rate was high among babies. When his father died in 1905, he was the inheritor of the Johann Ziemann homestead and was to provide for his mother. On December 26, 1905, he married Martha Rahn, the kid sister of his brother-in-law, Ferdinand Rahn at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Hannover, North Dakota. He and Martha had 13 children. Almost a year after Martha died he married Katharina Sailer Oster on June 27, 1948. His new wife was a relative of his sister, Rosina Ziemann Oster. Emanuel died on July 10, 1958, of lung cancer in Hazen, North Dakota. He is buried next to Martha at St. Paul’s church cemetery north of Hazen.
