At the age of fourteen, he was confirmed in the German Lutheran faith, to which faith he adhered to the very end. In 1866 he enlisted in the service of his country, and saw active service during the war with Prussia, 1866-1869. Soon afterwards on June 20, 1869, he emigrated to America, arriving in Omaha where he located for a time. In the fall of 1870 he came out to Stanton township and took a homestead and moved onto it in the spring of 1871. He had resided continuously in that neighborhood until he and Mrs. Mau moved to Geneva last May. He was married to Miss Matilda Schoenborn of Hampton, Neb., in January, 1879, which union was blessed by the following children, all living and residing hear home: Charles A. of Sutton, Mrs. Anna Otte of Seward, Mrs. Rose Cruse of Geneva, Mrs. Dorothy Russell of Geneva, Mrs. Justa Franz of Fairmont, Walter C. of Geneva, and Mrs. Minnie Saltzman of Lincoln. His brother, John, died at Sutton, Neb., March 24, 1922. After a life of incessant toil, he and his wife bought a home in this city where they might live at ease the remainder of their days. While strength allowed, Mr. Mau attended the services of the Congregational church. He was passionately fond of the services of the church and especially its music. His delight was in old hymns like, "Nearer My God to Thee', "Abide With Me," and several others. He enjoyed the singing of these hymns also at his home with the graphonia. He loved his home and his children and this joy was very generously returned by them. For the last six weeks of his life, he was the object of their abiding care and love. With great patience and tenderness his every need was supplied. If it had been possible for human love to save him, he would be with us still. It was otherwise ordained. His end came very peacefully at five minutes after eight on the morning of Friday, September 5, 1924, after six weeks of lingering illness patiently borne, having attained the great age of 80 years, 7 months and 16 days. He is survived by his widow, seven children, eleven grandchildren, and other relatives and a large circle of friends. The Nebraska Signal, September 11, 1925 front page.
