Hello Everyone, I'm trying to gather information on the DAUER's of Sparta and Schuline, IL. My DAUER line visited people in this area around 1915 and stayed for a year or so. The family was William and Rosa Dauer. They were from New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas, OH. William was about 27 years of age at that time. The children they would have had with them were Marie Dora b 1902, John Joseph b 1906, William Henry b 1909 and Anna Josephine b 1912. We believe they stayed with family there. Anna is still alive and remembers going there by train. She also recalls that there were DAUER relations living in St. Louis at that time. The St. Louis family I think she spoke of is Geoge and Magdelena Dauer. They immigrated to the US in 1873. There was a brother of William's that moved out there for a time as well. His name was Charles "Coxy" Dauer. It is said he got his nickname because he used to lead hunters around and it looked like Cox's army. Charles would have been around 25 then. Not sure if his wife Anna would have been with him. If his family was with him, they would have been twin daughters Jane "Jennie" and Mary, Emma & Charles "Bud". I'm looking for any information that might tie this group of Dauers to mine. I'd be happy to share and compare information with a member of the IL Dauers. Thanks for any help, Julie R.
