Read More	born Wiersen, Germany marriage: 26 Dec 1861 Denver, Bremer Co., Iowa father: Heinrich Christoph Clausing mother: Engel Marie Elenore Tatge For over thirty-five years C. Clausing was closely and prominently connected with business interests of Denver as the owner of a large sawmill and by reason of his energy and industry won a gratifying degree of success in the conduct of his enterprise and a comfortable fortune, upon which he is now living retired. He is one of the pioneer settlers in Bremer county, his residence here dating from 1859, and his birth occurred in Germany in 1832. The parents died in the fatherland and afterward C. Clausing came to America, settling near Chicago, Illinois, in 1851. He worked at the carpentering trade in that city for eight years and then in 1859 came to Iowa among the early settlers taking up his home on the present site of the town of Denver. He bought eighty acres of land, which he afterward sold, turning his attention to the operation of a shingle factory. Later he bought a share in a sawmill at Denver, afterward acquiring the whole plant, which he owned and operated for thirty-five years thereafter, becoming recognized as one of the prosperous and able business men of the city. He accumulated a comfortable competency and at length, feeling that he had earned a period of leisure, he retired from active life. He owns a fine home in Denver and one hundred and sixty acres of improved land in North Dakota. In 1860 Mr. Clausing married Miss Charlotte Mohling, a native of Germany, who came to America with her parents in 1852 and settled in Bremer county, Iowa. The father followed farming in this locality until his death. He and his wife became the parents of nine children: John, who has passed away; Wilhelmina, the deceased wife of Fred Bruns; Fred, also deceased; Henry, of Denver, Iows, Christian, of Fredericksburg; Christopher, a resident of Tripoli; Charlotte, the wife of the subject of this review; Carl, deceased; and one, who died in infancy. Mr. and Mrs. Clausing have five children: Wilhelmina, the wife of Joe Kelling, of Maxfield, Iowa; Carl, of North Dakota; Herman, who owns his father's homestead and also operates the old sawmill at Denver; Lisette, the wife of George Meyer, of Bremer county; and Louisa, who married Ernest Carson, of Fredericksburg. Mr. Clausing is a member of the Evangelical church. He is numbered among the early settlers in this locality and during the fifty-four years of his residence here has witnessed a great deal of its development and growth. He has himself borne an important part in the work of development and well deserves the place which he occupies today among representative and worthy citizens.
