Biography:
FREDERICK SASMAN, who is carrying on agricultural operations on a farm of fifty-six acres, located in section 7, Black Creek township, is a native of New York State, where he was born October 9, 1863, a son of Lewis and Mary (Lueckel) Sasman, natives of Germany. The parents of Mr. Sasman were married in New York, and during the fall of 1873 came to Wisconsin, settling in Black Creek township, where they carried on farming until retiring from active life. They are now living at Appleton, the father being seventy-two years old and the mother seventy. On first coming to this county, Lewis Sasman purchased eighty acres in section 20, Black Creek township, and some time later added another eighty-acre piece. This land was practically all wild when he purchased it, but when he retired from agricultural activities in 1907, all but forty acres of timber had been cleared. Frederick Sasman was the eldest of his father's five children, and as soon as he was able he was put to work on the farm assisting his father in the clearing of the land to put it under cultivation, and he remained on the old home farm until his marriage, March 16, 1887, to Ethel M. Brainard. Mrs. Sasman was born June 2, 1866, daughter of Carlos M. and Frances A. (Seely) Brainard, natives of New York State. Carlos Brainard was a veteran of the Civil War, through which he served in a New York regiment, and during which, for eighteen months, he was confined in the Confederate prison at Salisbury. Directly after the war he brought his wife to Wisconsin, and they lived on a farm in Black Creek township, where the mother died in 1889, aged fifty-two years, the father removing to Appleton during 1890, where he now lives a retired life at the age of seventy-three years. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Sasman: Eunice F., Cora E., Louis M. and Della E., the former two being stenographers, working at Madison, and the latter two residing at home.
Mr. Sasman has carried on extensive general farming operations in Black Creek township, and markets grain, hogs and cattle, in addition to dairy products. He is a member of the F. R. A., and in political matters is independent, he being at present the incumbent of the office of clerk of the school board. With his family, he attends the Congregational Church.

Frederick married Brainard, Edith Eunice 16 Mar 1887. Edith (daughter of Brainard, Carlos M. and Seely, Frances A.) was born 2 Jun 1866, Black Creek, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA; died 10 Mar 1943, Black Creek, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA. [Group Sheet]
