LUCY W. SHAUCK, retired; Shaucks; is the daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Gordon) Hess, born near Columbus, Ohio Feb. 7, 1824;, she passed her youth on the farm, and went to the common school until 16 years of age, when she attended the Academy at Delaware, Ohio, then under charge of Prof. MacElroy, three terms. The next year she went to the school at Granville, Ohio, under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, where she remained one year. She was married to Elah Shauck, Jan. 21, 1863. Of this marriage two children were born — Corrilla, born June 13, 1867, and Daniel, who died in infancy. Of the early history of the Hess family it is known that BalserHess, grandfather of our subject, came from Hesse Kassel, Germany, in an early day, and settled in the land of Penn, where he married Eva Hensel, of Bedford Co., Pa.; he was a farmer by occupation, and came with his family, by team, to Ohio, cutting his way to a point on the river near where Columbus stands at present; he lived in a wagon until they erected a cabin on the banks of the Olentangy. There were only a few houses at Frankleton, and none where Columbus stands. This was about 1796 — ere Ohio was a State. They passed through the excitement of the Indian war of 1812, and Hed to “ Block House ” at Frankleton, at the time of “ Drake Scare.” At 35 years of age, Daniel Hess, father of our subject, married Sarah Gordon, who also came from Bedford Co. when she was only 2 or 3 years old, and settled with her family at Frankleton. Seven children were born of this marriage — Lucy W., Amanda, Daniel, Philemon, Mary A. and Horatio, are living, and Calvin A. is dead.
The present handsome brick residence of Mr. Shauck was built in 1831, and has stood the storms and “ silent tooth of time” for half a century — a marvel of preservation.
