ALBERT TAUZER, a farmer eight miles southeast of Woodland, was born June 25,
1834, in Pennsylvania, a son of Andrew and Martha (Bowser) Tauzer, natives of
Pennsylvania. Andrew Tauzer was a foundryman and iron-worker by trade all his
life. He moved to Illinois in early day, settling in Hardin County upon land he
purchased there, and remained until death. Albert was brought upon a farm and
was twenty-two years of age when in 1857, he came overland to California,
leaving Illinois April 2, and arriving at Georgetown August 31. The trip was a
pleasant one. He was only one day ahead of where the great massacre occurred on
the Humboldt River. After mining in El Dorado County four years, with moderate
success, he went to Yolo County, and November 27, 1861, homesteaded his present
property, 160 acres of choice farming land. He found it entirely wild and has
made of it a complete home. He has now 960 acres, all in one body. Does a
general farming business. He has, like nearly all other men, had his drawbacks
and disappointments, but his energy and good sense have carried him victoriously
through. In 1887 he suffered a total loss of his residence by fire.

  He was married February 11, 1857, to Miss Mary Scroggins, who died December
21, 1874. They had five children, four of whom are now living, namely, Anderson
B., Ellen, George, John Albert and Andrew, deceased. Mr. Tauzer was again
married in 1880, to Miss Caroline Guy, and by this marriage there are two
children,—Pearl M. and Eleanor R., both of whom are living. Mr. Tauzer has a
sister in California, who is the wife of J. E. Jones, residing in Yolo County.
