Charles W. Clausen
(September 26, 1851 - October 19, 1937)

C. W. Clausen was elected to this office (county recorder), by the suffrage of his fellow citizens, at the election in the fall of 1880. He was re-elected at the election of 1882, but failed to qualify. Mr. Clausen is a son of the Rev. C. L. Clausen, who planted the infant colony at St. Ansgar, in 1853. He is a highly educated, intellectual gen­tleman, and none can be better fitted for the office than he. Source: History of Mitchell and Worth Counties, Iowa, 1884, p.633
