- from “A Portrait and Biographical Record of Allen and Putnam Counties, Ohio”
; published in 1896; pages 117-119.

MICHAEL C. DAUB, an honored resident of Rice, Monroe township, Putnam county,
Ohio, is the senior member of the firm of Daub & Lewis, who for the past five
years have been successfully engaged in the manufacture and sale of high-grade
tile at
this point. Michael DAUB, father of M. C. and H. M. Daub (post-master at Rice),
was a native of Germany, where he was born November 1,1813. In his youth he
became proficient in a trade which is now gone into decadence, learning to
manufacture wrought-iron nails, the whole process being accomplished by hand.
He worked at his trade until seventeen years
of age, having in the meantime acquired a good German education. At the age
noted he came, in company with an uncle, to America, and settled in Lancaster
county, Pa., and when twenty-five years of age, he was united in marriage to
Catherine HARMON. Their children in order of birth are as follows: Lydia, wife
of James WHITMER; Amos, who died in infancy;
David; Rebecca, wife of James A. BRUNNER; Catherine, wife of James A. MILLS;
Sarah, wife of Andrew ROCKEY; Henry M. and Michael C. The parents retained
their residence in Lancaster county, Pa., for many years and there all their
children were born, the father having been engaged in farming and quarrying. In
1866 he came to Sandusky county, Ohio, and thence removed to Seneca county,
where he remained until 1885, when he came to Putnam county. The mother’s death
occurred in 1880, she having been a devoted member of the United Brethren
church.

Michael C. Daub was born in Lancaster county, Pa., December 5, 1857, passing
his youth on the old homestead farm and receiving a common English education.
In the year 1880 he came to Monroe township, Putnam county, Ohio, and has since
been identified with the interests of this section. For a time he was engaged
in farming and later purchased forty acres of
wooded land, and gave his attention to its reclamation. He finally bought a
form of eighty acres and devoted himself to its cultivation for five years. In
1890 he became identified with his present line of business, the firm having a
well equipped plant, from which is turned out tile of the most superior order -
a fact which has secured to them a good patronage, which is constantly
increasing in extent. Mr. Daub is well deserving of the title of a self-made
man, since he has gained his present prosperity entirely through his own
efforts. In politics he is a stanch republican. In 1882 he was united in
marriage to Margaret A. PARROTT, who was born in Fayette County, Ohio, April 1,
1862. The children of this union are Wallie B., Alpha, Arullie, Leafy M., and
Perry W..........
