Solon Daniel Bausher, of Berks county, a leading manufacturer of underwear, proprietor of the Gotham Underwear Mill and Bleach Works, at Hamburg, Pa., was born March 5, 1869, in the borough of Hamburg, son of Jeremiah A. Bausher. Solon Daniel Bausher was reared in the borough of Hamburg, and received his education public schools. When but thirteen years of age he became a clerk in the general store of Aaron Koch, with whom he remained for two years, when he engaged with Daniel A Heffner, a merchant of Hamburg, in whose employ he continued for three years. He then engaged with the Pennsylvania Railway Company, as billing clerk at Phoenixville, remaining in that employ for two years, when M. A. Confer, of Hamburg, offered him a better salaried position in his large department store, which he accepted, continuing there for three years. J. C. Illeg & Brother, the well-known merchants of Reading, were his next employers, and he acted as buyer of suits and cloaks for this firm until 1893, in which year he associated himself with the mercantile house of Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, of Reading. Mr. Bausher has charge of the suit and cloak department, doing all the buying of cloaks, suits, furs, ladies' waists and wrappers, has a large force of clerks under him, and has made this department one of the largest and most profitable of the big store. Mr. Bausher and his family are members of the First Reformed Church of Hamburg, of which he has been deacon for three years and ever a staunch supporter. Mr. Bausher and his family reside in their fine residence on North Fourth street, Hamburg. On Aug. 22, 1895, Mr. Bausher was united in marriage with Cora E Miller, only daughter of Charles N. and Elizabeth (Becker) Miller and to this union have been born two bright sons, Charles R. and J. Lee.
