John's occupation was a horse dealer. He was born in Nebraska, and died at the Minneapolis General Hospital. His parents were Fred and Mary Getsman, both from Germany.
John married Isabella J. Speirs, better known by her stage name, “Scotch Maggie” on 09/30/1906 at Hennepin County, Minnesota. The two lived in an annex to a stable or “house market,” as it was called, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They also owned and operated the Rising Sun Café. In 1912, a 23-year old eye witness named Hubert Jacobs claimed he was eating in the restaurant when he saw Isabella arguing in the back of the café with the restaurant's cook, Fred Wescott, when he was allegedly stabbed by Isabella. The police arrested Getsman, but their case against her fell apart when their only witness mysteriously disappeared.
John later married Frances (Wakefield) Livingston from Cornell, Wisconsin.
