**********************************************************************

Henry R. Bauman, druggist of Washington, is the son of Rudolph and
Louise Mary (Kriegel) Bauman.  He was born in Washington, Franklin Co.,
Mo., in 1855, and educated in the public schools of that town.  At the
age of fifteen he began serving an apprenticeship as a printer boy, and
worked at the same for three years.  The business not suiting him he 
abandoned it and began clerking in a drug store in Washington, and 
worked two years, at the end of which time he went to St. Louis and 
engaged in the same business.  At the age of twenty-one he went to
Louisville, Ky., and after following the clerkship a short time, began
business on his own responsibility as a druggist.  August 22, 1877, he
married Miss Lizzie Fehrman, a native of Washington, Mo., born in 1855,
and the daughter of Herman and Eliza (Otto) Fehrman.  To this union 
were born three children: Alfred, George and Edward.  In 1884 Mr. 
Bauman came to Washington, and here he has since been engaged in the
drug business.  He is a Republican in politics, and cast his first 
vote for Hayes in 1876.  He and wife are members of the Evangelical 
Reformed Church.  The father of our subject was born in Hanover, Ger-
many, in 1831, and was a tailor by trade.  He came to Washington, Mo.,
when a young man, and worked at his trade; was married in that town in 
1855, and in the spring of 1862 enlisted in Company G, Thirty-first 
Missouri Regiment of Volunteer Infantry; was killed at the battle of
Vicksburg, and buried near the city.  His wife was born in Germany in
1834, and came to the United States when a young lady.  After the death
of Mr. Bauman she married H. Winterberg, with whom she now lives in
Washington.
