AUGUST MAUSOLF

ONE of the really old timers of Clarence township and one of the best known men
in Barton County is August Mausolf, son of John and Amelia Mausolf who located
in Rush County in 1879. August Mausolf was born in West Prussia, November 20,
1868. He came with his parents to Jersey City, New Jersey, when he was four
years of age. His parents remained there seven years and then came to Rush
County, locating on a homestead that is two and a half miles west of August's
present home. Mr. Mausolf took up his residence on this quarter which is located
fourteen miles northwest of Great Bend in 1892. In 1898 he married Miss
Henrietta Scheilfelheim and they now have one bright boy, Walter, aged 6 years.
Mr. Mausolf has always been an enterprising and progressive citizen and in
addition to the quarter on which he lives he owns eighty eighty acres of land in
Clarence township, and three eighty acre tracts in Rush County twenty-five miles
west of his home place. All of this land is in a high state of cultivation and
shows that Mr. Mausolf has always worked on a policy of improvement His home
place is well stocked with cattle and horses and he takes a special pride in his
flock of fancy White Leghorn chickens which attract the eyes of visitors on the
Mausolf place. A fine six room residence is found on the home place. It is
neatly and comfortably furnished and affords Mr. Mausolf and family all the
comforts of a modern home. The barn, sheds and other necessary buildings on the
Mausolf place are well built of the best material and altogether the Mausolf
place is one of best improved and most modern to he found in the country. To
make this complete we must add that Mr. Mausolf's home was destroyed by a
cyclone during the month of May, 1912. He and his wife had a narrow escape. They
are now living in Great Bend. The disaster happened after the foregoing was
written.
