CHARLES H. BAUER, retired farmer; P. O. Loyal Oak; is a son of Daniel, who was born in Bethlehem, Northampton Co., Penn., April 10, 1801, the son of Jacob, he the son of Charles, who was born in Germany early in 1700. The mother of Daniel was G-erti'ude Shott, the daughter of Elizabeth (Maudan Shott. Daniel received a very meager education, his time being spent on the farm with his father. On Nov. 22, 1822, he was married to Elizabeth Miller, sister to John Miller, whose history appears in this work. By this union there were three sons and three daughters: Susannah Maria, born March 22, 1824; John J., March 12, 1825; Charles H., Sept. 7, 1826; Catharine L., Dec. 30, 1828; Joseph D., March 30, 1832; Elvina E., Aug. 15, 1839. Mr. Bauer's was one of the six families who came to Ohio in 1843, of whom mention is made in another part of the work. He is a very sprightly old gentleman for one having passed fourscore years. His son Charles was given as good educational advantages as could be obtained in the district schools of an early date, remaining with his father upon the home farm, which was purchased upon arriving in this country, until his marriage, Aug. 27, 1853, to Sarah Everhard, who was born Nov. 11, 1832, to Jonathan and Catharine (Wall) Everhard. They were natives, the former of Armstrong Co., the latter from Sunbury, on the Susquehanna, in the State of Pennsylvania. Jonathan Everhard was the third settler in Sharon Township, Medina Co., where he went from Wadsworth with a few men and built a house in one day, returning at night. By his marriage with Sarah Everhard there were two children born; one died in infancy, and Leora C., born Feb. 10, 1864, is now attending school in Pennsylvania. Mr. Bauer is now holding the office of Township Treasurer; is an enterprising man in all the affairs of the township; a member, with his family, of the Lutheran Church, and a liberal giver to the cause of Christianity.
