MIR. Kornmann is a native of Ham
burg, Germany, and came to America
In 1893. That fall he was compelled,
as the result of serious eye trouble,
to give up his business activity and de-
vote himself to agriculture, which he
did in Rock county, Mimi, and in
South Dakota, which state was his
home for over 20 years, until he came
to this vicinity a few years ago. For
many years he was part-owner of the
Deutscher Herold, at that time pub
lished at Sioux Falls, S. D., and when
! the World war began he acquired the
business. When he tried to merge
this paper with the Dakota Freie Presse
OF Aberdeen, S. d., his arrest and
prosecution for alleged violation of the
espionage act followed. The final re-
suit of this difficulty with the Federal
authorities was glowing victory for
Mr.. Kornmann. Since the removal
of the Dakota Freie Presse to New
Ulm, early this year, which, together
with the Deutscher Herold is now
published in the Review office. Mr..
Kornmann is also interested financially
In the former newspaper and is
treasurer and business manager of the
Freie Presse Printing Co. which pub
fishes both papers.

ner, was born in Dresden, Germany,
and came to America in 1894 with Mr..

J been blessed with II children, as
follows: Mrs. George Malmgren, Mrs.
Henry w. Philip, Sioux Falls, S. D.;
Philip, Harry, Hans and Miss Gertrude
Kornmann, on their fathers farm in
Lafayette township, Nicollet county,
and Elsie, Adolph, Karl, Henry and
| Dorothy, at home. AS the result OF
the relentless persecution of her hus-
band and the brutal search of their
home, as well as the oft-repeated
threats of lynching her helpmate, Mrs.
Kornmann suffered nervous break
down and about a year and half ago
, was compelled to undergo a very
serious operation. Since that time she
has fully recovered and is now en-
joying good health and contentment.
