DIEDERICH LAMMERS
A successful agriculturist whose long residence in San Joaquin County won him a high place in the esteem of his community was Diederich Lammers. A native of Germany, he was born on July 11, 1837, his parents being Henry and Marguerita (Dascher) Lammers, worthy residents of that country who spent all their lives there.
Coming to America as a young man, Mr. Lammers at first located at Charleston, S.C., where he worked as a grocer's clerk two years before coming to California in the fall of 1869. He spent some time in San Francisco, and in 1870 came to San Joaquin County, where an older brother, Martin Lammers, had already located upon a farm in Tulare Township.
In 1871 Mr. Lammers was married to Miss Dorothea Hemsen, also a native of Germany, who came to California in 1870. They became the parents of two daughters: Matilda Amelia is the wife of George H. Luhrsen; and Annie Gesena married F.O. Housken, well-known attorney of Tracy; and sketches of both appear elsewhere in this history. Mr. Lammers became the owner of 320 acres of valuable land near Bethany, and this he developed into a fine ranch, meeting with splendid success in his farming operations. He passed away on May 30, 1900, his wife surviving him until March 13, 1917.
