CONRAD LINDERMAN, owner and editor of the Crawford Tribune, one of the well known journalists of Nebraska, is a man whose life has been eminently useful and is a fair example of the "average man" in our American citizenship. His education was procured through close application to reading the newspapers and books obtainable by or accessable to the studious young man in the American country printing office. His efforts and influence have always been devoted to bettering the conditions of his fellow men from his viewpoint, but always finally submitting to the will of the majority, which is necessary in a true democracy. From young manhood he has contended that the two main levers of our civilization, the medium by which we transport our productions and the medium by which we exchange them, should be under full control of the people. He also contends that we should provide some method for the exchanging of our products which would not require the production of an equal value of our products in order to create a medium for the exchanging of the same.
Conrad Lindeman was born at Hazelton, Pennsylvania, November 28, 1853, his parents having come to the United States the previous summer. They were George and Maria S. (Woelner) Lindeman, natives of Germany, and the father was a locksmith and blacksmith by trade. He died when Conrad, the youngest of his five children, was still young, but the mother lived to the age of eighty-five years. Of Mr. Lindeman's four brothers, only one is living, George, whose home is in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. Henry, who conducted a hotel at Crawford, died here, William died in manhood, and John died in infancy.
Until he was about ten years old, Conrad Lindeman attended the common schools of Luzerne county. That is a great coal mining section and in those days it was the custom to send little boys into the coal pits to act as drivers on the mule cars, and it was in that way that Conrad assisted in providing for the family for three years. He was an ambitious boy, however, and had a distinct leaning toward the printing trade, and after his coal mining experiences, succeeded in getting into a newspaper office, where he served an apprenticeship in the old time way. Completing his apprenticeship at the age of sixteen, Mr. Lindeman went from Hazelton, Luzerne county, to Shenandoah, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, and accepted a position as foreman in the mechanical department of the Shenandoah Herald, the first paper published in that town, then a village of several hundred inhabitants.
In 1872, Mr. Lindeman took Horace Greeleys advice and went west, locating in Cass county, Iowa, where he tried his hand at farming, and where in April, 1878, he was married to Miss Mary Meister, who was born in Pennsylvania, a daughter of Martin and Anna M. (Kreitzberg) Meister. Eight children, five sons and three daughters, have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Lindeman: Martha, who is the wife of George Patton, of Billings, Montana; Otto, who lives at Hill Crest, Montana; John A. and Daniel W., who are ranchmen of Dawes county; Helena, who is the wife of Major C. J. Gaiser, of Camp Dodge, Iowa; Amelia, and Emma W., both of whom assist their father in the printing business, and Clarissa R., who is the wife of Gilbert F. Marrall, of Crawford.
After several years on the farm Mr. Lindeman moved to Atlantic, the county seat of Cass county, Iowa, and secured a position as assistant foreman on the Atlantic Daily Telegraph, published by Lafayette Young, where he spent a year, and then, in company with W. H. Saunders, published the Peoples Advocate at Atlantic, Iowa, for a short time, being succeeded by J. R. Soverign, later master workman of the Knights of Labor. He then engaged in the news and stationary business, and in 1886, came to northwestern Nebraska, locating on a homestead in Sioux county, three miles west of Montrose. Mr. Lindeman and his family suffered the. hardships of early homesteaders and took a leading part in the struggles of the early settlers against opposition by the ranchmen.
In 1889, Mr. Lindeman was elected clerk of the court and county clerk of Sioux county, in which offices he served until 1894, when he came to Crawford to enter the employ of C. E. Wilson, a clothing merchant, and later in January, 1897, went to work at his old trade, establishing the Crawford Buletin (sic), which he published until 1904.
Selling the Bulletin plant to W. H. Ketchem, then publisher of the Crawford Tribune, which was established by Mr. Ketchem, in 1887, Mr. Lindeman spent several years in the offices of the Tribune and Crawford Courier, then purchased the Tribune in 1910. Under Mr. Lindeman's ownership and direction the paper has become the chief organ of the Progressive Democratic party throughout Dawes and Sioux counties, while his subscription list shows that it circulates all through the country as far as Canada on the north and Mexico on the south. He does a general printing business and has a well equiped (sic) plant. On numerous occasions his friends have urged Mr. Lindeman to accept political honors, but he has never accepted any office except those mentioned. His views on public questions have sometimes been modified through changing conditions, but no one can ever accuse him of ever misrepresenting facts or, for his own benefit, concealing public matters on which should be thrown the light of publicity through the press. In addition to his printing plant, he is interested in a ranch of over a thousand acres, lying southwest of Crawford, in association with his two sons, John A. and Daniel W. Mr. and Mrs. Lindeman are members of the Lutheran Church, but all the children are members of the Congregational Church.
