  Henry Cleereman, president and treasurer of the Cleereman Land & Lumber Company, has been a resident of Green Bay since 1901 and throughout the intervening period has given proof of the possession of those qualities of energy, ambition and diligence which are. the chief factors in the life of the successful business man. He is a son of Henry and Catherine (Clabots) Cleereman and was born in Belgium, June 17, 1854. His father died in 1884 at the age of seventy-one years, and his mother passed away in 1908 at the age of eighty-six years, both being laid to rest in Finger church cemetery at Preble, Wisconsin. Henry Cleereman was but two years old when brought by his parents to the new world. He never had any educational advantages, his knowledge being acquired in the school of experience. He was but a young lad of five years when he began splitting shingles and later he assisted in the farm work during the summer. From 1881 he has been in the logging and lumber business, first with his brother, William, and later they took into partnership Jule Connard, but in late years he has purchased both of their interests, and now the business is conducted under the name of The Cleereman Land & Lumber Company, directed entirely by Henry Cleereman and his sons. They are having gratifying success and Henry Cleereman serves as president and treasurer. The corporations' principal office is at Cornell, Michigan, where they own sixty forty-acre tracts of the finest timber land in Michigan. They also have a hundred acre farm on the place, the soil of which is so fertile that they are breaking records as to yields per acre. Henry Cleereman is also a stockholder in the Green Bay Barker Company and is a director and stockholder in the Farmers Exchange Bank. He displays sound judgment in the control of his interests and in placing his investments and as the years go by he is gaining the reward of well directed labor. In St. John's church at Green Bay, October 31, 1881, Mr. Cleereman was married to Miss Louise Draye, a daughter of Anton and Theresa ( Bourgignon ) Draye. Her father came from Belgium in 1872 and, accepting a position as gardener, continued therein until his death, which occurred in September, 1909, when he was ninety-two years of age. His widow survives at the age of eighty-nine years. Mr. and Mrs. Cleereman are the parents of six children : Henry, who is a graduate of a business college; Annie, at home; Anton and Hubert, both of whom, are college graduates ; William, a student in the high school ; and Irene, who is also attending school. Mr. Cleereman erected a home at No. 11 10 Willow street and in addition he owns other property in the city. The family are adherents of the Catholic church and in politics Mr. Cleereman is a republican, but, while he keeps well informed on the questions and issues of the day, he does not seek nor desire office, preferring to give his entire attention to his business affairs. The occupations which claimed his attention in youth have constituted his life work and his long connection with lumber manufacturing has enabled him to secure maximum results with minimum efforts, which is the secret of all success in business.
