      NEUHAUSER.-On the 23d of July 1889, in Tazewell county, Ill., of the infirmities of old age, Bro. Peter Neuhauser, aged 93 years, 5 months and 3 days. He was born on the 20th of Feb. 1796 in Upper Alsace, near the city of Basle, Switzerland. In the spring of 1831 he emigrated to America, settling in Lancaster Co., Pa. Here he was married on the 23d of Jan. 1835 to Mary P. Schmidt. In the fall of the same year they moved to Butler county, Ohio, and in the spring of 1852 to Illinois, settling in Tazewell county, where he spent the remainder of his life. Sister Neuhauser died several years ago. Their union was blessed with 7 children, of whom two sons survive the parents. Bro. Neuhauser leaves many grandchildren and great-grand children. He retained his mental faculties to the last. He was a faithful, peace-loving member of the old Amish Mennonite church. Funeral services by Daniel Roth and Peter Ropp.

      Sources and say Peter’s father (Jacob?) was born near Basel and died in Lorraine. His mother, Catherine (Sommers?), was born in Alsace Lorraine and died in Ohio.

      Parents are possibly Jacob Neuhauser b. and d. Upper Alsace near the Swiss border, and Catherine Sommers (b. Lorraine and d. Butler Co., OH) [1, 4, 5]
