CHARLES HAUSE

Charles HAUSE, a farmer, living on section 2, of Cincinnati Township, was born in Canada, January 17, 1848, and when eight years of age and in the spring of 1856, accompanied his parent to Harrison County, and there settled on section 11, of Cincinnati Township, his father being one of the first to effect a settlement in the township. He entered quite a large tract of land. Our subject remained at home until the autumn of 1870, when he moved to the farm on which he now lives, having purchased it some time before and made improvements upon it. He built a small frame house, 16x20 feet, to which he has made additions. He first bought one hundred and twenty acres of land, but as he has been prospered, bought more until he now owns five hundred and eighty-two acres. In 1876, he erected a good barn, and generally keeps his farm well supplied with live stock, averaging about one hundred head of cattle.

Our subject was married in Harrison County, Iowa, February 20, 1869, to Miss Susan EDDIE, and they are the parents of eight children: John, William, baby boy, deceased, Albert, Minnie, Frank, Lillie and Ida.
