ANTON HAUBER.
Anton Hauber is cultivating a valuable farm of two hundred and forty acres on section 1, Sumner township, this county, where he was born on July 1, 1870. He is a son of Joseph and Margaret (Horn) Hauber, both natives of Germany, who in about 1860 came to America, settling shortly thereafter in Sumner township, Winneshiek county, where the father engaged in agricultural pursuits, also following his trade, which was that of blacksmith. Both of the parents have passed away. To their union were born fourteen children: Mary, the wife of John Miller, residing in Oklahoma; George, of Calmar, Iowa; Joseph, of Lincoln township, this county; Charles, of Ossian, Iowa; Catherine, deceased; Andrew, of Howard county, Iowa; a daughter who died in infancy; Anton, of this review; Annie, of Calmar, this state; Margaret, the wife of John Etteldorf, of Festina, Iowa; Amelia, of Seattle, Washington; Louisa, the wife of Frank Kock, of Calmar; Frances, who married Hugo Dessel, of Calmar; and Matilda, the wife of John Havis, of Seattle, Washington.
Anton Hauber was reared on the home place and has always remained thereon. In later years he bought the property, comprising two hundred and eighty acres, all located on section 1, Sumner township, but has since sold forty acres. He engages in general farming and stock-raising, his highly cultivated fields being evidence of his industry, energy and resultant success. He is at present building a fine two-story residence and his other buildings are all modernly appointed and substantially constructed.
On November 22, 1897, Mr. Hauber married Miss Mary Etteldorf, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Etteldorf. Mr. and Mrs. Hauber have four children: Alma M., born September 9, 1898; Marie R., born April 29, 1901; Leo H., born April 19, 1903; and Hugo C, born November 30, 1907.
Mr. Hauber gives his allegiance to the democratic party, stanchly upholding its candidates at the polls. He is a member of the Catholic church. He has in a comparatively short time become one of the most substantial agriculturists of his district and such success as has come to him is well merited, as it is entirely due to his own efforts. He is highly esteemed and respected by all who know him and has many friends.
