| Notes |
- Herman was educated in Round Top and La Grange. While attending school in La Grange, he stayed with his aunt, Amanda Meerscheidt. At the La Grange school he won a five dollar gold coin as most outstanding pupil in his math class.
He went to work at the age of sixteen as a clerk at George Weyand’s store at Nassau. He later clerked at Marburger’s store, located between Fayetteville and Industry. Herman bought C. F. Hellmuth’s interest in the Hellmuth and Umland store in Round Top. He later sold his interest to Umland and took over the barroom and cigar factory part of the business.
The cigar business became Herman’s main interest. He brought the tobacco in from Havana, employing as many as twenty-four men at a time. As his business increased, he added groceries to the store. He sold the liquor business as prohibition became an issue. He bought his brother Alexander’s dry goods, moving them to his own store. He also sold cotton and produce.
About 1892 he built a two story home on six acres adjoining the public square in Round Top. He also bought farms a mile from town. He was a pencil sketch artist, and he served as secretary, treasurer, and president of the Round Top Rifle Association.
