Michael Dausman (deceased).
In order to perpetuate for coming generations the record of one who was very prominently connected with the growth and development of Elkhart county, but who has now passed to his final reward, a brief account of the life of Michael Dausman is placed on the pages of this volume. He was one of the pioneer settlers of the county, a most worthy and exemplary citizen, and one always liberal in his contributions to aid the social, material and religious advancement of the same.
Mr Dausman was born in Germany, August 26, 1826, and was the youngest child of David and Magdalene Dausman, both of whom were natives of the Fatherland. Six children were born to this worthy couple, all natives of the old country.
David Dausman, his wife and six children - four boys and two girls comprised the family which left the old home March 5, 1828. They started from Alsace, France, with team and wagon and journeyed 240 miles to Paris, France, thence to the coast where they took the sailing vessel, "Great Britain," for New York. After a stormy voyage of sixty-eight days on the Atlantic, they reached New York in safety. They went immediately to Buffalo, but concluded to go thence to Canada, where they determined finally to settle, and there they lived ten years. They then moved to the United States and located on a farm near New Paris, Elkhart county, where the parents passed the remainder of their lives.
Their children are Jacob Dausman, who lives in Dausmantown, and is eighty-one years of age; David Dausman, who lives on the old homestead near New Paris, and Henry Dausman, who lives in Oregon. Their three sisters are dead.
Michael Dausman was but two years of age when his parents sailed for the United States, and as a consequence all his recollections were of this country. His youthful days were passed in Canada and New York State, and in the latter he received his education. He there also learned the carpenter and millwright's trade and followed that the most of his life. He assisted in building mills at Buffalo and worked at his trade until the family came to Indiana. Like many others he was taken with the gold fever in 1849 and started for the Pacific coast. He went with six others by way of the Isthmus and was in the mines of California for six years, meeting with fair success. He experienced many hardships in that country, camped out for some time and took his tools and provisions to the camp on the backs of mules. He returned to the East with some money, and made the return trip by way of the Isthmus.
For several years afterward he worked at his trade, and in about 1858 was married to Miss Mary Stouder, a daughter of Christian Stouder and a native of Elkhart county. She was one of a large family. After his marriage Mr Dausman settled on a farm in Dausmantown, and he worked at his trade until 1863, when they went on a farm of eighty acres, which had been given Mrs Dausman by her parents. This was covered with wood, and they immediately erected a house and began clearing. With the help of his boys, Mr Dausman cleared this place and bought another eighty joining the original tract, and this has also been cleared. In all there are 105 acres cleared and the rest is good timber.
Michael Dausman made his home on this farm until his death, which occurred November 14, 1891. His record as a private citizen and neighbor were alike untarnished, and in all the affairs of life he bore himself in an upright manner, and was recognized as a man of true worth. He was a Republican all his life, and a man deeply interested in the welfare of his county. He was a great help to religion, education, etc, and no man in the county was more highly honored.
His wife is still living, is residing on the old homestead in Union township, and part of the children remain with her. She has been in poor health for many years.
Six children were born to this worthy couple:
1) Juliann, born December 12, 1859, married Christian Weaver, a farmer of this township, and they have two children, Sylvia and Michael;
2) Edward W, born September 27, 1861, is farming the home place, and is a Republican in his political views (he is deeply interested in the affairs of the county and is a well-informed young man, receiving a good practical education in the district schools; he is at present engaged in stockraising and general farming and is wide awake and enterprising);
3) Michael M, born September 20, 1863, in com殆any with his brother Edward, is engaged in the management of the home place (he is also a strong supporter of the principles of the Republican party, the district schools afforded him a fair education and he has assisted on the home place from early boyhood; he, too, is single);
4) Lydia, born December 7, 1865, is the wife of Richard Pickering, and they have one child, Perly (they reside in Jackson township);
5) Lucy, born September 20, 1867, married Henry W Miller, and they live on a farm in Jackson township (they have four children - Leroy, Laura, Rolley and a baby yet unnamed);
6) William, born in 1869, died when but three months old;
7) and Alice, born May 4, 1871, is at home keeping house for her brothers. They are thoroughgoing, progressive young men, and their farm of 106 acres is well managed.
