Mr. Tieman was born in Beloit Dec. 25, 1907, and was 8 years of age when his parents moved to Butlerville (Clark Co.), where he received his education.

Mr. Tieman had served as supervisor of the town of Eaton, and as Clark County Republican Chairman in 1966. He was reelected to that office this year, but resigned shortly afterwards for health reasons.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Charles (Violet) Hoeper, Neillsville, and Mrs. James (Lila) Oelafen, Menomonee Falls; three sons, Donald Jr. and Roger, both of Greenwood, and Robert, Sussex; his father, Charles Tieman Sr., Beloit; two brothers, Charles Jr., Thorp, and Glenn, Owen; a sister, Mrs. Donald (Elsie) Ingham, Beloit, and 13 grandchildren.
