C. GANZMAN, ESQ. The
subject of this sketch was born in the Grand Duchy of Baden,
Germany, Oct. 10, 1833. At the age of fourteen he was
apprenticed to the jeweler's trade, which has been his
business since. Upon the braking out of the rebellion
in his native State in 1849, he joined the "Black Forest
Sharp-shooters," and served through the war. He
subsequently took a tour through Germany and a portion of
France and Switzerland, for the purpose of becoming more
accomplished in his business. On the 8th of May, 1854,
he left his native land for America, and landed in New York
on the 25th of June following, and here spent a year at his
trade. In the autumn of 1855 he came to Ohio and
located in Uhrichsville, where he conducted the jeweler
business for W. B. Thompson, Esq., until 1857, when
he went into business for himself. Upon the opening of
the war for Union in 1861, Mr. Ganzman entered the
service in Company E, 51st O. V. I. In November, 1862,
he was assigned to duty in the office of Judge Advocate at
the headquarters of the Army of the Cumberland, where he
remained till the expiration of his enlisted term. In
1869 he became a member of the "Society of the Army of the
Cumberland," and at the reunion in Columbus in September,
1874, was elected one of its Vice-Presidents.
Mr. Ganzman was first married to Miss Mattie
Weaver, of Harrison County, Ohio, in May, 1858.
Mrs. Ganzman died Oct. 31, 1864, leaving one daughter.
The present Mrs. Ganzman was Miss Mattie
McCullough, of Tuscarawas County, to whom he was married
in May, 1865. He has had two sons and two daughters, -
the oldest daughter is deceased.
Mr. Ganzman was a member of the first council of
the incorporated village of Uhrichsville, and the Clerk of
the same. He was once elected Justice of the Peace,
but declined to accept. He has been a resident of this
place for over twenty-years, which he has devoted to the
jeweler business, and now has a room in the Birney
House Block, where he keeps a stock second to none in the
County.
In 1873 Mr. Ganzman made a tour to Europe,
traversed portions of Switzerland and Germany, visited the
battle-fields of the Franco-Prussian war and the World's
Fair at Vienna, and during his absence from America was
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune and other
journals. He is a member of the Blue Lodge of F. & A.
M. and of the Chapter of R. A. M., also of the Council of R.
& S. M., and of the I. O. O. F. In all of these bodies
he has filled the office of Secretary. He is a
