   Isaac Haupt, county treasurer, Covington, was elected to the office of
treasurer of Fountain county in the fall of 1876, by a majority of 285, and in
August, 1877, took formal charge of the office. In the fall of 1878 he was
reelected, by a majority of twenty-eight votes, by the republican party, the
party status changing somewhat during this time. Before becoming a candidate Mr.
Haupt had served four years as deputy treasurer under Henry La Tourette, so that
the routine of duty devolving upon him was perfectly familiar. Mr. Haupt is a
native of Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, where he was born January 18,
1826. He learned the trade of a carpenter by serving an apprenticeship of nearly
three years, and in 1850 came west and located at Newtown, Fountain county,
where he resided for six years, and then removed to Covington. He followed the
business of contracting and building until 1863, when he received the
appointment of United States revenue collector in Fountain county, under John L.
Smith, collector of the eighth district. He remained three years in the employ
of the government, and then again resumed the business of a builder and
contractor. In 1866 he built the Mayers block, which is located on the northeast
corner of the public square, and is the largest business building in the town.
Mr. Haupt is a member of the Presbyterian church, and of Covington Lodge, No.
21, I. O. O. F., of which he has been secretary for the past twelve years. He is
a member of Fountain Lodge, No. 60, A. F. and A. M., and for the past fourteen
years has been secretary of that lodge. During the war he had one son, W. G.
Haupt, in the service of his country. He was a member of Gen. Lew. Wallace's old
Zouave regiment, the 11th Ind.
