JOHN LAUSEN
John Lausen
b: January 21, 1868 d: 1922 Son of Detlef Heinrich and Martha Marie Thedens Lausen Husband of Mary Schmidt/1869-1925 Married June 5, 1897 Children: James Fred/1901-1972 Elizabeth ********** Leading Manufacturer of New Holstein Answers Summons COMMUNI1YS GREAT LOSS Decedent a Business Career Reads Like a Romance 1922 John Lauson was born January 21, 1868, just west of the Village of New Holstein. When about eight years of age he moved to what is now the village of New Holstein with his parents, where his father engaged in the implement business. This apparently gave young Lauson the interest in and the ability with machinery which was to effect such a great change in his own life as well as virtually creating an entire community. In the year 1884 when but sixteen years old his mechanical inclination and skill led him to become associated with George Lauson, his uncle, and J. H. Optenberg in a small machine repair shop, located on the site now occupied by the grain elevator of Fred O. Iverson. This shop had for its motive power a windmill, and was completely destroyed by fire only a few years later. Not discouraged by adversity young Mr. Lauson and Mr. Optenberg rebuilt on the site now occupied by the shop and garage of the Meili-Blumberg Co., whiCh site and buildings with additions were occupied up to the year 1908, when the present plant was built. A few years later the partnership with Mr. Optenberg was dissolved and the business continued by Mr. Lauson alone, until the year 1899 when the firm was incorporated under the name of the John Lauson Mfg. Co. Associated actively in business with him during the next few years were his brother, H. D. Lauson and Mr. J. C Schmidt. Mr. Schmidt, however, severed his connection a few years later. The business career of Mr. Lauson reads like a romance. Born of parents in moderate circumstances, he had none of the advantages of a high education and was forced to go to work on the death of his father, when yet a mere boy. Starting with almost nothing, Mr. Lauson, during his all too short life, saw his efforts grow into a plant that ranks high among the industries in its line in the nation. While the active affairs of the company of late years have been largely handled by his associates, his integrity and fair dealing have gathered around him and developed, he was ever ready with his counsel and words of cheer, beloved by all of his many employees. Mr. Lauson was married on the 5th day of June, 1897, to Miss Mary Schmidt of New Holstein, Wisconsin. Two children, Fred, aged 21 and Elizabeth 19, lived to cheer their home, while the first born son, James, preceded his father into the great unknown. He is survived by his widow and children, his aged mother, Mrs. Martha Lauson, three brothers, H. D. Lauson who is associated in business with him. Edward and William, all residing at New Holstein, and one sister, Mrs Hugo Soldan of Milwaukee. He was a York and Scottish Rites Mason; a Schriner and a member of the Elks, E. F. U. and other fraternal organizations.
