ISAAC BAUMAN, a prominent citizen, a well-known poet, and a writer of more than usual ability, long identified with literary work and publishing interests in Pennsylvania, was born in Ephrata, Lancaster county, May 19, 1829, and died in Upper Allen township, Cumberland county, Aug. 24, 1900.
The Baumans came originally from Germany and were among the earliest settlers of Lancaster county. Different branches of the family, under the name of Bowman. are living in that county today.
Isaac Bauman was one year old when he became a resident of Upper Allen Township and here learned all that the local schools could teach and also the trade of printing, acquiring such knowledge under his father's tutelage.
This trade he followed for a number of years in Harrisburg and Philadelphia, and early became a contributor to the then leading periodicals. His poems were gladly accepted for the columns of the Waverly Magazine, Peterson's
Magazine and the Baltimore Sun and Yankee Blade. For a long time he wrote under the nom de plume of "Clarence May," but during his later years, when recognition was a matter of indifference to him, he signed the initials "I. B." In conjunction with the late Dr. William H. Egle, early in the fifties, he published a magazine called the Literary Companion, a magazine filled with choice original and selected matter, which had a wide circulation. Always
unassuming, he was not prone to claim the credit due him, and it is recalled that upon one occasion, in 1852, when a banquet was given to Gov. Bigler at Harrisburg, on Franklin's birthday, by the printers of Pennsylvania, the then well known Frank Clifford gave the following toast to "Clarence May:" "A Gentleman deserving the name; a Poet of no ordinary genius who adorns the profession."
On Dec. 25, 1860, Mr. Bauman married Charlotte E. Sprenkel. The Sprenkels are descendants of old Virginia stock. Peter Sprenkel, grandfather of Mrs. Bauman, was born in Hanover, York county, Pa., and married Lydia Hoover of the same county. He was a farmer and large land owner in Dover township.
Mr. and Mrs. Bauman had children as follows:
Norman died in 1882, aged twenty years. Edith married J. B. Miller, a farmer in Upper Allen township, and has two children, Ada and Xenia. May married J. A. Bucher, of Camp Hill, who holds a position with the Harrisburg Traction Company, and they have two children, Clarence E. and Norman B.
