Adolph Biermann (November 19, 1842 – January 5, 1914) was an American farmer and politician who served as the fifth state auditor of Minnesota from 1891 to 1895 as a member of the Democratic Party.
Biography
Born in Christiania, Norway, Biermann emigrated to the United States in 1862.[1] He first settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and served in the 24th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, during the American Civil War, until 1865.[1] He was involved in the Battle of Perryville and Battle of Stones River.[1] In 1866, he moved to Rochester, Minnesota, worked as a bookkeeper and settled on a farm. In 1874, Biermann was elected Auditor of Olmsted County, Minnesota. Biermann ran for Governor of Minnesota in 1883, as a replacement for William W. McNair, receiving about 43% of the vote.[2] He also ran for Minnesota Secretary of State, and the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat losing the elections. In 1885, President Grover Cleveland appointed Biermann the United States Collector of Internal Revenue for Minnesota. From 1891 to 1895, Biermann served as Minnesota State Auditor. In 1907 he sold his Rochester home and farm to Charlie Mayo. The Bierman farm became the center of the Mayowood Estate. He died in Rochester, Minnesota, of a stroke.[1][3][4]
