Thank you, I have not been able to root out many of the newspaper clippings long distance and this info about Clara's wedding to Rudolph Polacheck is useful in two ways. First, it clarifies the confusion over the date of Retta's marriage to Harry Ogden (although still leaves questions about the parentage of Charlotte and Audrey Jacquette/Shauer), and then also it explains a letter from my ggfather Emil E Shauer to my ggmother (his first wife, Isabella Anderson), talking about "the wedding" and the fact that she was going to make the trip back there from NYC even though she was pregnant and he couldn't make it... six months afterward, on Aug 7 1907, she died in childbirth.

I am sorry that I confused you. The record I saw was the marriage of Clarice Shauer with R. Rudolph Polacheck.

Chicago Tribune February 11, 1907 (Page 11): Miss Clarice Louise Shauer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gustav George Shauer, 501 South Kenilworth Avenue, Oak Park, will be married to Mr. R. Rudolph Polacheck of Milwaukee Wednesday evening, February 27, at 7:30 o'clock, at the house.

Chicago Tribune February 24, 1907 (Page H-3): Miss Clarice ouise Shauer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gustav G. Shauer, 501 South Kenilworth Avenue, Oak Park, will be married to Mr. Rudolph Polacheck of Milwaukee on Wednesday at the home of her parents. Miss Retta Rose Shauer, a sister, will be maid of honor, and Miss Emella Eiser and Miss Elsie Polacheck wll beribbon bearers. Mr. David Polacheck will act as best man for his brother. Mr. and Mrs. Polacheck will go East for two weeks, and will then reside in Milwaukee.

PS what is your documentation for the date of marriage (1907) of Retta Shauer to Harry Ogde, and his parentage of the girls ? Because, RE Charlotte and Audrey, children of Retta Shauer, they are listed in the 1910 census living in the household of Gus Shauer in Oak Park, Chicago: Retta Jacquette, daughter, age 19 with granddaughters Charlotte Jacquette, age 2, granddaughter, and Audrey Jacquette, age 4/12 yr (ie born about Feb 1910). No sign of the father, either Jacquette or Ogden. Then in the 1920 census, Charlotte (granddaughter) and Retta (daughter, widow) are again living in the household of Gus (George) and Louise Shauer, this time in Valparaiso, and their last name is indicated as Shauer, still no sign of Jacquette or Ogden. But Audrey is listed next door in the household of George A and Nellie Shauer, and is listed as their daughter. Perhaps adopted by her uncle and aunt? Later in life Audrey and Charlotte used the surname Shauer. I have letters from them to my grandfather.

Hi Tammy, I am not sure that this is the correct family, although I think we may have spoken. I don't have a Dean or a Veryl in the family. Are your Schauers from the Chicago area? Sorry to disappoint you, hope you find them!

Re: Seeking descendants of Gustave G. Shauer

LangLeeShauBab — 2009-10-17 13:47:36Z

Thank you for your reply and information. My father visited Valpo as a child with his own father (Melville Shauer) and remembers meeting a cousin Justin. Mel Shauer was son of Emil E Shauer, who was either a step brother or nephew of Gustave G Shauer, Justin's grandfather. My Dad lost track of that side of the family, however. I would like to reconnect.

Re: Seeking descendants of Gustave G. Shauer

LangLeeShauBab — 2009-10-17 13:37:14Z

Thanks for the reply. Yes, this is the right family, I had actually seen the clip about the planned theater. Some of the birth dates and last names are new info so very helpful. Thanks. My Dad remembers meeting Justin. I have a pic of my ggfather with Gus and Gus' brother Louis in Chicago; I think they were half brothers or perhaps the older Gus and Louis were uncles. Haven't sorted out the relationship. But I think my ggfather, Emil, was one link to the movie business as an associate of Adolph Zukor at Paramount Pictures. Thanks!

My Grandfather, Henry L. Newhouse of Chicago, was an architect who dsigned a theater in Valparaiso in 1920 for George A. Shauer. Economist: THEATER, STORE AND OFFICE BUILDING: Architect Henry L. Newhouse,4630 Prairie Avene, is receiving bids on a two-story building, 73 x 82, to contain a modern theater, with seating capacity of 1,500 and stage, four store and fifteen offices, to be erected at the corner in Valaparaiso, for G. G. Shauer & Sons Company of that town. The theater will be fireproof, reinforced concrete construction, with steel trusses, and the building will have pressed and stone front, steam heat, tile flooring and will cost about $ 100,000.

I did some research on the family of George Shauer. He was born in Chicago on September 4, 1883, and died in Valarapaiso on February 6, 1940. He was married in Chicago on September 17, 1907 to Nell C. Schlesonger, who was born on April 28, 1883, and died in Valparaiso on April 3, 1971.

Gustave G. Shauer (George's father) was born January 26, 1856 in Germany, and died in Valparaiso on May 4, 1934. He was married in Chicago on October 12, 1881 to Louis Charlotte Brundage. Louise was born April 2, 1865 in Aurora, Illinois and died in Chicago on January 19, 1933.

Besides George, Gustave and Louise had four other children--Herbert who was born in Chicago and died in Chicago on April 5, 1909.

Clara was born in Chicago and died in Milwaukee,Wisconsin on August 15, 1970. She was married to Rudolph Polacheck who was born in Milwaukee on May 17, 1880, and died in Milwaukee on June 9, 1946. They had two children, Herbert and Jane.

Retta was born in Chicago on August 21, 1890 and died in Valparaiso on December 26, 1957. She was married in Chicago in 1907 to Harry H. Ogden. Harry died in Valparaiso on March 3, 1933. The had two children, Charltte and Audrey.

Justin O. Shauer was born in Chicago on November 16, 1896 and died in Valparaiso on October 3, 1962. He was married in Valparaiso on February 14, 1922 to Ethel Grandstaff. Ethel was born on December 8, 1898 and died in Vlparaiso on April 1982. They had two children, George and Jane.

I hope this has been of some help to you.

Hi Christine,

Re: Sioux Uprising/Minnesota

still1580 — 2009-04-07 21:54:31Z

I can verify some of the story. I also looked for Paul Schauer in the uprising records of death. Like wise I heard the story of him riding off to help friends and never returning. These are facts that no one seems to be able to verify. But I can share this. When my family moved to Henderson, Mn in 1964 there was a small mechantile that was owned by the Schutlz brothers and would refer to my father as a distant cousin. Dad never ask what was up but remembered it when I started digging.

If you find anything let me know.

Martin Schauer and Carver Minnesota

I am looking for family/siblings/spouse for a Martin Schauer. He enlisted in the 9th MN Infantry in 1862, fought the Sioux in 1862/1863, before serving in the Civil War, he was killed in June of 1865 in Alabama.

Ok, here is an update.

I located a August Schauer that served in the 6th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment. He enlisted in on Aug 4th 1862. By reading the details, it does not look like he was killed. No further info found, I know that Rosina was my GG Grandma, so now I am a bit more confused. Here is the reference and interesting history of the the MN 6th, Company E.
http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=LTDtwfOx0HQC&...
or search google for 6th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry and Schauer and you should find it. I copied a pdf version on to my pc, if you would like a copy email me at terrychristle@q.com

Re: Schauer's of MN

2006-07-03 18:02:26Z

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it further. I just found it fascinating that it happened there. My dad's uncles did always say that there were Indians buried out in the woods.
One story I remember my dad telling me was how my g. g. grandfather had a pretty good dog and an Indian killed a deer, but couldn't find it. So apparently the Indian came to my g.g.grandfather and asked for his dog's help in finding it. Long story short, the dog found the deer and the Indian gave my g.g.grandfather half of the deer in thanks. Not sure if that's true, but it's still kind of a nice story.
Anyway, thanks for the info on where to look for the uprising details. No, I hadn't heard of this before, but thank you for bringing it up so I can research it further! : ) It's so fun finding out things when doing family tree research!
thanks again!

Re: Schauer's of MN

2006-07-03 13:21:40Z

I know nothing about the Indian uprising other then what I have read in books or on the computer. I do know that my g-g-grandmother had cousins who were murdered by the Indian's during that uprising. That is what started me into researching into what I know. You will be able to access everything that I read on your own.
I am sorry, but I really do not have any specifics as far as family lore here on my end.
Re-reading your email I am not sure if you have 'ever' heard of the uprising??? It did take place and can be read about in area (McLeod & Sibley Co. liberary's) also researcher have written family history books which include detailed stories of the events that took place during this time. I 'think' it was between the years of 1862 & 1864.

Re: Schauer's of MN

2006-07-02 00:31:09Z

Please tell me more about the Schauers and Indian massacre that took place by the church. I am relation to those Schauers and have been to that place many, many, many times to visit family. One of my father's uncles always talked about the Indians and said they were very nice people, but he never made mention of a massacre. He said that they were moved to a reservation.
My grandfather's name was Lawrence and his father's name was Edward. Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated! I'm just starting out in the research of the family.

Re: Emil Schauer

2006-07-01 20:43:24Z

I'm fairly new at this, but I'm related to the Schauers from Green Isle, MN
My grandfather was Lawrence Schauer. He had four brothers Elmer, Leonard, Bernard and Melvin and there were two sisters, one Berniece and one named Mandy. I've just started doing research, but I think that Lawrence's dad's name was Edward.
Do you have any more information on this family pertaining to Edward's parents or his wife, Elsie Krone, parents?
Feel free to email me directly.

Re: Schauer's of MN

You may have already found some of this out, but there is an online Pedigree that I found...here is the address.....
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&...
It seems pretty valid. It starts out with Edward, which is my g.g. grandfather. Then goes up from there. I know that my father has told me that Karolina died in childbirth (1867) after having some children, and then Wilhelm married Rosa in 1869 and they had some children as well. That's all I really know as of right now. Hope it helps a little bit at least!
Happy searching!

I have a photo album dating to approx. the early 1900s. Most of the photos are from SW Minnesota. One photo appears to be a wedding photo, taken by a photographer in Westbrook, MN. The photo itself has no identifying information on it. The album has this photo marked as "Rinkalt Schauer."

SCHAUER, HENRY - Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient WW II

jasche — 2007-01-06 00:26:48Z

SCHAUER, HENRY

Rank and organization: Private First Class, U.S. Army, 3d Infantry Division. Place and date: Near Cisterna di Littoria, Italy, 23-24 May 1944. Entered service at: Scobey, Mont. Born: 9 October 1918, Clinton, Okla. G.O. No.: 83, 27 October 1944. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at risk of life above and beyond the call of duty. On 23 May 1944, at 12 noon, Pfc. (now T/Sgt.) Schauer left the cover of a ditch to engage 4 German snipers who opened fire on the patrol from its rear. Standing erect he walked deliberately 30 yards toward the enemy, stopped amid the fire from 4 rifles centered on him, and with 4 bursts from his BAR, each at a different range, killed all of the snipers. Catching sight of a fifth sniper waiting for the patrol behind a house chimney, Pfc. Schauer brought him down with another burst. Shortly after, when a heavy enemy artillery concentration and 2 machineguns temporarily halted the patrol, Pfc. Schauer again left cover to engage the enemy weapons single-handed. While shells exploded within 15 yards, showering dirt over him, and strings of grazing German tracer bullets whipped past him at chest level, Pfc. Schauer knelt, killed the 2 gunners of the machinegun only 60 yards from him with a single burst from his BAR, and crumpled 2 other enemy soldiers who ran to man the gun. Inserting a fresh magazine in his BAR, Pfc. Schauer shifted his body to fire at the other weapon 500 yards distant and emptied his weapon into the enemy crew, killing all 4 Germans. Next morning, when shells from a German Mark VI tank and a machinegun only 100 yards distant again forced the patrol to seek cover, Pfc. Schauer crawled toward the enemy machinegun. stood upright only 80 yards from the weapon as its bullets cut the surrounding ground, and 4 tank shells fired directly at him burst within 20 yards. Raising his BAR to his shoulder, Pfc. Schauer killed the 4 members of the German machinegun crew with 1 burst of fire.

Vernon Schauer & brothers Leo, Vincent, Edward, sons of Frank/Anastasia of Chicago, all in WWII

margerice1 — 2007-04-04 04:19:42Z

I have an original 5x7” photograph of “Vernon and Leo and Vincent and Edward Schauer”, which I’d like to get back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in about 1942, and Vernon and Vincent look to be in Army uniforms, Leo in a Navy uniform and Edward in his Marine uniform. The amazing thing about this photo is that it is taken in the front yard of a home, where there is a military banner/flag in the front window with seven stars, indicating seven sons in service.

I found the family of Frank and Anastasia Schauer in the 1920 census for Chicago, showing sons: Francis 13; Vernon 12; Leo 10; Walter 8; Eugene 5; Gordon 4-1/2; Vincent 1. In 1930 census, I found Edward, among the last of the sons.

Get back to me at margerice@prodigy.net if you are related to this Schauer family.
