CHARLES CHAUSSEE, Jr. This gentleman is one of the enterprising and substantial
citizens of Fairview township, Clay county, wherein he is devoting his time and
attention to the cultivation of 320 acres of as fine farming land as is to be found
in the county, located in section 15. He is a son of Charles and Zoway (Launderman)
Chaussee, who came with their family to Clay county in 1861, and settled in Fairview
township, where they still make their home.

Our subject first saw the light of day in Montreal, Canada, April 15, 1845, and
about eighteen months later his parents took him with them to the “States” and
settled in Dubuque county, Iowa, where he was educated and lived until 1861. He
continued to be a member of the parental household after the family removed to
Dakota until he took a most important step in his career, his marriage in
Vermillion, May 10, 1868, after which with his young bride he settled on the farm
whereon he now lives. Mrs. Chaussee was known in her girlhood as Miss Lucinda J.
Shriner, a daughter of William and Patience Shriner, and was born in Belmont county,
Ohio, October 19, 1848. Mrs. Shriner died in Barnesville, Ohio, in 1852, and her
husband still survives and makes his home in Vermillion. Mr. and Mrs. Chaussee are
the parents of six children, viz.: Mary E., now Mrs. Eldon Dimick; Rose E., the wife
of George Waterman; Frederick, William J. and Flora E. Edward, the other child, died
in infancy.

Although Mr. Chaussee has been engaged exclusively in farming since coming to
Dakota, he has nevertheless taken quite a degree of interest in local matters like
all good citizens should. He has held some of the school offices and is a stanch
friend of education.
