Obituary: "Christopher Au, aged 84 years, died Saturday morning at his home, 179 North Benton street. Funeral from the home Monday afternoon at 2-o'clock conducted b the Rev. S. K. Mahon of the Central Methodist church. Burial in Mansfield cemetery.
Captain Au was born in Cumberland county, Pa., Dec. 12, 1824, and lived on a farm there until 1843 when he located in Mansfield and engaged in carpentry and building. He later went to Chillicothe and in 1846 moved to Iowa, from there going down the river to Memphis, Tenn., and points in Mississippi. The southern climate not agreeing with his health, however, he returned to Iowa a year later and located at Fort Madison. On June 27, 1848, he was united in marriage with Miss Laura J. Greenfield and in 1850 returned to Mansfield with his wife. For five years he and his brother, Samuel, conducted a business of contractng and building, when Mr. Au and his family located on a farm in Springfield township. In the summer of 1862 he received a commission from the recruiting commission and enlisted enough men to form Co. I of the One Hundred and Twentieth Ohio Volunteer infantry and was made captain of the company, in which capacity he served until December, 1864, when by reason of a consolidation he was mustered out and returned to his home. In 1869 he engaged in the mercantile business in Ontario in which he continued until 1905 when he moved back to Mansfield, having been compelled to retire from active business on account of the infirmities of age. He is survived by his wife and four children, John H., of Ontario, Sherman G., Abram H. and Mrs. P. M. Ringer, of Mansfield, also by many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Five children preceded their father in death." (Received from Robert Malone, a Findagrave.com volunteer)
