Can anyone tell me about this furniture store/manufacturing in Altamont that exsisted around 1920?

This may not be the information you are looking for and you may already have it but thank you for an interesting query.
George Hillemann married Ada L Wright in Effingham county Illinois on april 25th of 1883.
In the 1920 census George and Ada are on East Monroe st in Mound Illinois (Effingham county), he is 68 born in Germany and she is 48 born in Illinois, his occupation is listed as proprietor of a factory.
--------
IN the 1880 census George was single, came to America from Hanover,Germany and was listed as Merchant.
-------
I did not find any children born to George and Ada of Hillemann furniture history.

Illinois death record
Ada died feb 16th 1937 in Effingham county
George died May 16th 1932 in Altamont,Effingham county.

Thank you for the info...it's a starting point.

I am trying to find out the same information.

I have 2 pieces of furniture that was made in Altamont, Illinois by the Geo. Hillemann Furniture company. My grandparents purchased them when they lived in Illinois.

Has anyone sent you any further information?
Was curious our pieces still have the manufacturer tag on the backs. And just decided to try and find data on them.

Both pieces are in great shape and are still be used to this day.

Any information would be more than I currently have. Was nice to find out that it existed in 1920.

Thanks and hope to hear back from you.

I, too, have a piece of furniture made at the Hillemann Furniture Factory that belonged to my great-grandparents. I would love to know more... My father-in-law was able to find a pictire of the factory and it's locations in Altamont, Il. What little I've been able to uncover also suggests Hillemann owned a lumber company and was quite wealthy. I would like to know more about the dresser I own - I just had it refinished, but the original handles had been removed, and I would like to replace them with the same handles, but don't know what I am looking for. I also would like to know approximate value for insurance purposes. Coincidentally, we live just an hour from Altamont, and my father-in-law lives just 15 minutes away. He is very involved in the county's history, but even he was was unable to unearth much information.
