Notes:

G. MICHAEL DAUSSMAN.

G. Michael Daussman, secretary and treasurer of the T. W. Cook Brew-
ing Company, is a native of Germany, bom in 1847. He is a son of Jacob
Daussman, who was a cooper and brewer by trade and who came to Amer-
ica with his family in 1855 on a sailing ship, locating in Evansville, where
he followed his trade until his death in 1896. The maiden name of the
mother of our subject was Eva Feibert, who survived her husband seven
years and was called to her final rest in 1903. Seven children were born
of the union of Mr. and Mrs. Daussman : Phillipina, now Mrs. Fred Stei-
man; Eva, now Mrs. Sam Kamm; Kate, now Mrs. Sam Zeigler, of Chi-
cago ; Gertrude, now Mrs. Albert Scholtz ; Louisa, who became Mrs. Stock-
well and is now deceased; and Catherine, who died in infancy.

G. Michael Daussman, the only son, received his education in the pub-
lic schools of Germany and at the age of eight years came with his parents
to Evansville which has since been his home. In 1866 he became identi-
fied with the F. W. Cook Brewing Company first as bookkeeper and then
as traveling salesman and afterward in various capacities, making him-

self so useful that in 1885 he was elected secretary and treasurer and has
since continued in those positions. By ability and inclination Mr. Dauss-
man is adapted for a business career and during all the years in which
he has been connected with the company he has contributed in an im-
portant degree in building up its reputation and in extending the territory
over which the products of the plant are distributed. He is thoroughly
acquainted with the various details of the business, which has grown to
large proportions within recent years.

In 1880 Mr. Daussman was united in marriage to Miss Anna Platz, a
daughter of Charles Platz, of Evansville, and unto them have been born
eight children: Bertha, who died in infancy; George M. ; Ida; Louise;
Elsie, now Mrs. Walter Holtzgrafe, of Memphis, Tennessee; Arthur; Os-
car, and Grover.

Mr. Daussman in the earlier days of his manhood showed a great in-
terest in all matters pertaining to music and became prominent as a mem-
ber of various German singing societies. He is a member of the Inde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows, the Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks, the E. B. A., and was one of the charter members of the local lodge
of Knights of Pythias. He has for many years been actively connected
with the Evansville Manufacturers Association and holds membership in
St. John's church. For over forty years he has been connected with the
company of which he is an officer. He long ago demonstrated his ability
as a business man and no citizen of Evansville is more earnest in urging
the advantages of the city as a place of business or residence. Since early
boyhood he has made America his home. He has given to this country
the same fealty that, if he had remained in Germany, he would have given
to his native land. As the head of a large family and the center of a
circle which is made up of many friends and acquaintances, he is kindly
and helpful. As a man among men he has through his business career
attempted to discharge his responsibilities according to his best judgment
and among the German citizens of Evansville he is recognized as a leader
and in his party activities he has shown himself to be a capable and pro-
gressive citizen.
