FREDERICK HABERMAN, president of The Haberman Hardware Company, at Marion, and largely identified with many other important and successful business enterprises of this city, was born at Marion, September 1, 1854, and is a son of Christian and Gertrude (Seas) Haberman. The Haberman family was established in America by Conrad Haberman, the paternal grandfather, who came to this country as a soldier in the army of Great Britain, during the War of 1812. For 17 years following the close of this war he remained on American soil, but returned to his own land in his old age, desiring to pass away in the land of his birth. He died in Germany, in 1831, his son Christian being then but two years of age. Christian Haberman was born October 6, 1829, in Huttengesass, Hessen-Nassau, Germany, where he lived until 1852, when he came to America and settled Marion, Ohio, where he purchased and successfully operated a large stone quarry and also invested in farming lands. He married .Gertrude Seas, who was born in Ellmendingen, Baden, Germany but who came to this country when she was a child. They had nine children-six sons and three daughters. Frederick Haberman, the eldest of the above named family, secured a good, common school education and completed his studies at Berea College. He then entered the employ of George H. Kling, at Marion, and during his 11 years of service thoroughly learned the hardware business. Subsequently he purchased Mr. Kling's stock and for some five years conducted a first-class hardware store here. After retiring from this business, he became secretary of The Marion Manufacturing Company and later traveling salesman for the W. Brigham Company, a wholesale hardware house of Cleveland. In 1892 Mr. Haberman again embarked in the hardware business at his present location. He owns stock in nearly all of the Marion industries, in many of which he has served as an official, and belongs to the Ohio State Board of Commerce and to the Ohio Hardware Association. While in no sense a politician, Mr. Haberman has never been negligent concerning his duties as a good citizen. He has advocated the election of upright men to office and has assisted in promoting justifiable public measures of all kinds. He is essentially a business man and been willing to serve conspicuously in office. He served two consecutive terms as Democratic councilman from the First Ward; during this time he was instrumental in installing the Marion Water Works. In 1875 Mr. Haberman was united in marriage with Cora Clark, who is a daughter of Capt. J. Walter Clark, and a granddaughter of John Clark, who came from Hagerstown, Maryland, to Marion when this busy city was a hamlet of a half dozen houses. Mr. and Mrs. Haberman have two daughters and two sons. The family residence is one of the most pleasantly located in Marion and, as the family is socially prominent and very hospitable, is the frequent scene of social functions. Mr. Haberman and family belong to the Protestant Episcopal Church and he has served as vestryman. In his fraternal relations, Mr. Haberman is an Elk.
