Notes:

Birth:
During the Napoleonic era, Langenlonsheim was part of former German territory on the left (west) bank of the Rhine River occupied and governed by the First French Empire in the Département du Rhin et Moselle. Following the Congress of Vienna (1815), the territory became part of the Kingdom of Prussia. Since 1969, the city has been part of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz), Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland).

Immigration:
Biographical sketches of Julius published in 1888 and 1918 reported that he had immigrated with his family in 1857. According to information recorded in the 1900 U. S. census, the date was 1859.

Occupation:

     According to a biographical sketch published in 1888, after Julius Neumann finished attending the public schools in Henry County, Illinois "...he worked on the farm with his father until seventeen years old, and then started in business for himself, establishing a hardware store at Bishop Hill, which he carried on successfully for a period of three years. Next he embarked in the dry-goods trade at San Jose, Ill., and since that time has been in this business, having now an experience of twenty years."

     "Julius Neumann, Mayor of Wymore, and engaged in general merchandising, besides having other important interests in the city, and whose portrait is herewith presented, is one of its most prominent and influential business men. Besides his proprietorship in the Wymore Rolling Mills, he owns the Neumann Block, a beautiful residence on Newton street, and other valuable city property. He holds the warranty deed to a fine farm of 160 acres in Pawnee County, and a whole section in this State and Kansas."

     "Mr. Neumann came to this county [Gage County, Nebraska] in the spring of 1882, and that same year put up a fine brick block on Niagara avenue. In partnership with A. E. Winter he conducted a successful business until the spring of 1888, then, desiring a rest, sold out. Among the men most largely engaged in those enterprises which have furnished an impetus to the business interests of the town, the subject of this sketch has occupied no unimportant position. He has been a member of the School Board most of the time since coming here, and holds the office of President, both of the Building and Loan Association and the Board of Trade. Of the Methodist Episcopal Church he has been a generous contributing member for years, also holding the office of Trustee, and serving on the Building Committee and in other positions where he could do effective work."

     No doubt the successful business mentioned in this account was the Neumann & Winter Mercantile Store located at Wymore, Nebraska. It seems probable that the A. E. Winter identified as Julius's partner was Adolph Edward Winter, first cousin of Julius's wife, Amelia Christine Wellemeyer. Adolph, the son of Wilhelm and Maria Wilhelmine (Fiegenbaum) Winter, was born in Wapello Township, Louisa County, Iowa in 1857 and in 1884 at Wymore, Nebraska he married Katherine Elma Jaynes. Maria Wilhelmine (Fiegenbaum) Winter was a sister to Christine Elisabeth (Fiegenbaum) Wellemeyer, Amelia's mother.
     At some later date, Julius founded the Julius Neumann Company at Wymore, Nebraska. This is probably the "business establishment" mentioned in a biographical sketch published in 1918:

"March 19, 1882, he came to Wymore, Gage county, Nebraska. Here he built a fine brick block, on Niagara avenue, and here he has been engaged successfully in business since that time. Seventeen years ago he erected his present business block, a two-story building with one hundred foot frontage, the main floor being occupied by his business establishment, in which is the largest stock of general merchandise in the city. The upper story is used as offices by professional men, besides providing headquarters for the local Masonic bodies."

     In addition to the retail dry-goods business, Julius operated a flour mill and built and operated the first creamery in Wymore. He also appears to have had extensive land holdings.
