He made his claim in Section 13,in Wilton & 18 in Otisco where he made his home the remainder of his life. His death was accidental, being caused by a fall from a wagon.
(Death notice - Waseca Radical, Waseca, Minnesota, 29 December 1880)
H. F. Biermann, while on his way to town with a load of wheat, having chained one of his wagon wheels, stopped at the foot of the hill to unchain it, which he was in the act of doing, when his team started and in his efforts to stop them he slipped and fell forward of the wheels and the wagon passed over him. He died the next day.

Death of H. F. Biermann
On Tuesday morning, Dec. 21, 1880, Mr. H. F. Biermann started for Waseca with a load of wheat. When he reached the top of the long hill north of Michael Sinske's, he stopped and locked his wheel, and at the foot of the hill stopped again to unlock it. It is supposed that while he was working at it, his feet slipped and he fell partly under the wagon, and that before he regained his footing the horses started and drew one wheel of the heavily loaded wagon directly across his breast, crushing him in a terrible manner. The unfortunate man was found soon after by Mr. McDougall and Michael Sinske, who took him home. A doctor was immediately sent for, who did all in his power to alleviate his sufferings, but all efforts were of no avail, and he lingered until Wednesday when death came to his relief. Mr. Biermann was one of the 1855 settlers of this county, as elsewhere detailed in this volume.
