Albert Ingermann. This gentleman, whose portrait appears in this volume, was born at Minden, Prussia, December
7, 1831, and is the second son of Charles and Fredrika Ingermann. At the age of eleven he went to sea, and continued
to follow it till August, 1853, when he came to California. He went to the Feather river mines, working on Bidwell's
Bar. In 1854 he went to sea again, going as far north as Oregon. Upon his return he lightered lumber on Bolinas
bay; he purchased the sloop "Mary Anna," which he ran between Bolinas bay and San Francisco. During the
next fifteen years he followed this business, between these two ports. In 1857 he leased a farm, which was taken
charge of by his wife during his absence on board his vessel. In 1866 he discontinued boating altogether and purchased
his present farm, and gave his entire attention to its management. Mr. Ingermann has held the office of school
trustee. He was married in 1859 to Miss Anna Strain, who died November 7, 1866, leaving four children, as follows:
Samuel, born November 5, 1860; Irvin, born November 7, 1862; Eliza, born December 12, 1864, and Anna, born October
31, 1866. He was married a second time to Mrs. Mary Hoyle, who was born in Yorkshire, England, June 3, 1834. They
have no children.
