Historical and biographical annals of Columbia and Montour counties - Mauser
Mauser. Nicholas Mauser resided in Bucks county, Pa., until the year 1785, when he settled in Cooper township, in what is now Montour county, Pa., buying a large tract of timberland, which was a portion of the property held by the William Penn heirs. He was a soldier in the Revolution, and on Jan. 4, 1777, was commissioned first lieutenant of Capt. Christian Buckley's company, of the 3d Battalion, Bucks county militia.
Christian Mauser, son of Nicholas Mauser, was fourteen years old when he was brought to Cooper township, and lived in the little log cabin his father built on the land he purchased. As evidence of the substantial manner in which work was done in those early days, as compared with to-day, that log cabin, built in 1785, is still standing and is in an excellent state of preservation. Christian Mauser lived to be eighty-eight years old, and died contented with what he had accomplished during his long and eminently useful life.
Jacob Mauser, son of Christian Mauser, was a native of Cooper township. He married Katherine Krumm, and they had five children, four daughters and one son, among the former being Frances, who married Thomas Cole.
Aaron C: Mauser, son of Jacob Mauser, was born on the Mauser homestead in Cooper township, Montour Co., Pa., July i, 1849, and grew up in that township, which continues to be his home. He has developed into one of the leading agriculturists of his community, and is a citizen of prominence. On Feb. 28, 1874, Mr. Mauser was married to Ellen Keifer. The Mauser family is one of the oldest established in Montour county. Some of its patriotic early representatives served in the Revolutionary war, and all were interested in the development of their respective settlements. Its members have been especially interested in education, and two of the name have held responsible positions as educators, I. H. Mauser having been superintendent of schools in Northumberland county, and his brother William Mauser superintendent of the Bloomsburg borough schools.
The Cole family has shown considerable enterprise and sturdy uprightness of character, and the intermarriage of the Coles and Mausers has combined many sterling traits. None bearing either name has ever failed in duty or citizenship, and they have shown their high principles in the support of many effective reforms and desirable improvements. They have intermarried with other typical Pennsylvania stock, which is noted the country over for its solidity and sterling worth.
