HENRY E. BROCKMAN

Another son of LaPorte whose indomitable energy and faithful performance of contracts have won for him the respect and confidence of the community is Henry E. Brockman, a skillful carpenter and builder and an experienced contractor. He came into the world Oct. 6, 1863, in the household of Mr. and Mrs. John Brockman of LaPorte and received his schooling in the parochial academy of St. John's German Lutheran church, of which he and his wife are members. April 24, 1890, he married Miss Anna Stormer at Otis, in this county , by whom he has two children, Henry and Frieda. Their residence is at 107 Fox street. Mr. Brockman has found no time for union with fraternities or the pursuit of political favors, holding to the conservative and prudent belief that success in this life is won by giving undivided attention to business, devoting a proper proportion of time to the discharge of religious obligations, which he has faithfully done. He learned his trade in early manhood and has followed it continuously with gratifying results. In 1896 he branched out on his own account and the substantial fruits of his handiwork are to he seen in every part of the city.
