Jemming, Anton 1811-1897 & Johanna Hoffman Family

This BIOS for the Anton Jemming family was compiled by Wilma J. Vande Berg of the Greater Sioux County Genealogical Society. The life and times of Sioux County pioneers can be read about in several Sioux County Books. “The Story of Sioux County” by Charles Dyk gives a very colorful account of pioneer life with its joys and hardships. The book “Siouxland A History of Sioux County” by Nelson Nieuwenhuis gives a great historical accounts of the area. The “1908 Sioux County Atlas” also has historical accounts of the various townships of Sioux County. Also, reference the Hospers Centennial Book of Hospers 1891-1991.

No prepared biography was found for this pioneer couple. A pioneer couple who lived as most pioneers did in those days going about life without much notoriety other than making a living for their family in a new land. His son Henry’s obituary gives the timeline of the family in the United States.
