WILLIAM H. HAUSER. This representative citizen of Tuscola Township, 
Tuscola County, is here engaged in the stock business and slaughtering. 
He is the son of William and Lucy A. (Bue) Hauser, both natives of the 
Eastern States. They came to Michigan in 1850, and located in Saginaw 
County, where their son William was born, September 2, 1856. He was 
reared upon a farm and early undertook the pursuit of agriculture. He 
started out in life at the age of twelve years, and his education was 
received in the district school only, and attendance upon it was 
necessarily interrupted by work so that he did not have liberal 
advantages, but continued in school until he reached the age of 
sixteen, after which he entered the employ of James A. Root, a 
nurseryman, and worked for him for eighteen months.

   The young man about this time made his home in Flint and afterward 
spent some time at Birch Run and it was after he came to Tuscola that 
he was happily married on the 20th of December, 1875, to Miss Christie 
A., daughter of George Wagner. To them were granted six children, to 
whom they gave the names of William H., Bessie M., Charlie (deceased), 
Zelma V, and Flossie A. and with the exception of the son who died they 
are all at home with their parents.

   In the years 1874 to 1878 Mr. Hauser was a contractor for the 
Tuscola and Clio mail route. In political matters he is in sympathy 
with the doctrines of the Democratic party. In 1880 Mr. Hauser engaged 
in the business of slaughtering and in this enterprise has been 
reasonably successful. His father, who is a veterinary surgeon, resides 
in Tuscola.

   The brothers and sisters of our subject who are living are Kate, who 
is now Mrs. Kincaid and lives in Fayetteville, N. Y.; Roswell, who 
married Emma Carter and makes his home in New York; Charles E., who 
took to wife Belle Rickel, and lives in Fenton; Aaron B., who also 
makes his home in New York; Silas S., who married Ella Oatman and makes 
his home in Syracuse, N. Y., and Lucy, who is the wife of Mr. Oliver, 
the Principal of the High School in Burlington, N. Y.
