  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 1241
  HERMAN TIMM has done his share in building up and advancing the development of Outagamie county, as the greater part of his life has been spent in cultivating what was formerly a barren stretch of country into a beautiful and productive farm. Mr. Timm, whose operations are carried on in Center township, is a son of August and Caroline (Kanute) Timm, who came to this country from Germany in 1864 and settled near Milwaukee. August Timm worked on farms in the vicinity of Milwaukee for monthly wages until he had accumulated sufficient money to purchase a farm, when he came to Black Creek township, Outagamie county, and there spent the rest of his life in agricultural pursuits, his death occurring January 1, 1911. His wife had passed away in 1908. Herman Timm was born in 1859, in Germany, and was five years old when his parents came to the United States. His education was secured in the schools of Milwaukee county, and as a mere youth was put to the hard tasks that fell to the lot of the pioneer farmers. When he was twenty-four years of age, his industry and economy had enabled him to save enough money to buy half of his father's land in Black Creek, but eight years later he came to Center township and bought his present farm, which was then in very poor condition. He at once began reclaiming the soil, which he soon had in a fertile condition, and replaced the buildings one by one until he had one of the best-appearing farms in his section of the township. His life has been spent in hard work, but he has accomplished much and can look back over a well-spent and useful career. General farming, dairy work and stockraising have taken his attention, but he has not been too busy to be a consistent attendant of the German Lutheran church of Center, of which he is an active and liberal member. On July 6, 1883, Mr. Timm was married to Minnie Neimaum, who was born May 30, 1856, in Greenville, daughter of Frederick Neimaum, a well-known farmer of Center township, and she died March 31, 1902, leaving a family of these children: Anna, who married Edward Sax, of this county, and has one child; Ida, who married Charles Sax, and has one child; Clara and Elsie, who live in Appleton; and Herman, Lena, Tilda, Edward and Viola, all of whom live at home.
