     is a native of Kentucky, born in 1847. As soon as he arrived at adult age
he became a distiller and he followed that business in his native state
continuously until 1891. He then came to Uniontown, Washington, and thence, a
year and a half later, to Trent, where he erected a distillery with a capacity
of two hundred bushels per day. His market so far has been only local, but he
expects to build up a more extensive trade in future. He is making a specialty
of distilling malt and rye whiskies and brandy. Mr. Thierman was married in
Kentucky, in 1869, to Elizabeth Catherine Reimler, who died in 1886. leaving
four children, namely: Henry W., J. Edwin and Cora A., living in Louisville,
