Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [326-329]

           MICHAEL HAUSELMANN, farmer, section 32, Sherman Township, was
        born in Wurtemburg, June 9, 1836.  His father, GEO. M. HAUSELMANN,
        was a native of Germany, of German parentage, where he was a far-
        mer.  The family came to this country in 1852 and settled in Nor-
        folk Co., Ont., where the father died, July 24, 1852, aged 61
        years.  The mother, BARBARA HAUSELMANN, was also a native of
        Wurtemburg, the residence of the family until their removal to
        Ontario, Can., and after her husband's death removed with her son
        to Huron County, and is still an inmate of his home. She is 82
        years of age. Their family included five children, three of whom
        are living.
           MR. HAUSELMANN was 16 years of age when his parents left their
        native country, and he remained in Canada after the death of his
        father seven years. He obtained a good education in Germany, and
        the care of his mother and a younger brother devolved upon him
        when the natural protector of the family had been removed.
           MR. HAUSELMANN is one of the earliest settlers of Sherman Town-
        ship, where he located before its organization.  He became the
        proprietor of 60 acres of land in Sherman Township, in 1859, of
        which he took possession immediately after his marriage. He was
        a member of the town board of organization, and the privilege of
        naming the township was accorded to him. He had a high regard and
        opinion of GENERAL SHERMAN and his character, and selected his name
        to be perpetuated on the Huron peninsula, more especially in honor
        of SHERMAN'S achievements in that year —1862.  MR. HAUSELMANN
        served as the first Supervisor of the township, and held the posi-
        tion 13 consecutive years.  He has been Township Clerk six years,
        and has held the incumbency of Justice of the Peace 23 years. He
        is also County Superintendent of the Poor, and is serving his ninth
        term in that office. He is a Democrat, and is considered a
        straightforward and reliable citizen.
           He now owns 140 acres of valuable land, a large proportion of
        which is improved and fitted with creditable farm fixtures.
           His marriage occurred Oct. 25, 1859, to MARGARET KAUFMAN. No
        children have been born to them but they have adopted a son and a
        daughter — HENRY and ANNA.  MRS. HAUSELMANN is the daughter of
        MICHAEL and BARBARA (ETZEL) KAUFMAN, natives of Germany. They
        emigrated to Ontario in 1855, and six years later came thence to
        Michigan, where they died, aged 58 and 56 years respectively. The
        daughter was born Aug. 12, 1841, in Wurtemburg, and was educated in
        the public schools of her native country. The family are members of
        the Lutheran Church.
