FERDINAND H. HUDEMANN

     is the owner of three quarters of a Section of wheat land northeast of
Connell, and seven and one quarter sections of wheat land upon which he is now
residing. His birth occurred near Gibson City, McLean county, Illinois,
September 6, 1879, a son of Julius and Maggie Hudemann. When he was but five
years of age he was brought by his parents to Adams, Umatilla county, where he
has since resided continuously excepting during the three years he was farming
in Franklin county, Washington. For the past five years he has been cultivating
the home place which comprises seven and one quarter sections of land, all
devoted to wheat growing. Its appearance and general development attest its good
management and high cultivation.
     On the 19th of May, 1909, Mr. Hudemann was married to Miss Minnie Kemper,
whose birth occurred in Pendleton on the 26th of July, 1889, and who is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kemper. Politically Mr. Hudemann is an independent
democrat, and also holds membership in the Lutheran church. Many of the most
profitable and highly productive agricultural tracts in Umatilla county are, at
present being cultivated by young men. These men bring the same enthusiasm and
enterprising spirit into their work which their fathers did, and where the
latter found their greatest labor in clearing the land the sons now have the
opportunity of proving the worth of the soil which had previously been prepared
for them. Mr. Hudemann is no exception to the long list of progressive,
industrious and energetic farmers who are making this district one of the best
wheat-growing sections in the northwest.
