Cuno Anjerias Claussen, 1826-1899 by Juli Claussen, 2013 Cuno came with his mother, Lucia Sophus Claussen (aka Lucie Sophia) and siblings from Denmark sometime between age 2 and 11 years. He is thought to have been born in the Duchy of Holstein, now part of Germany. We first find them in Bond County, IL, then Montgomery Co., IL by 1840, living southeast of Walshville. He married there at the age of 23 to Mary Ann Mansfield, and by 1852 he purchased 40 acres of land in the village of Walshville. He eventually had a good sized farm just southeast of Walshville at or near where he had lived as a teenager. He appears in the 1850 and 1860 censuses as a farmer. In 1861 he is listed on the county militia rolls. In 1862 he purchased land from his brother Hugo (who was living in California) in Grisham township. Cuno's mother was likely deceased by this time, and he appears to have looked after his two unmarried sisters, who lived nearby, until their marriages at late ages. His sister Julia was a resident of the state hospital in Jacksonville for a time in the mid-1860's, and Cuno is listed as the responsible party. He did not leave the area until the year Julia was married. The lure of the westward migration must have drawn the family away from Illinois. They left Montgomery County about 1866, by which time they would have had 6 surviving children, and migrated to northern Oregon, where they appeared in the 1870 census at Forest Grove, Washington County. At least two of their children were born there. But by 1872 they were in Cherokee County, Kansas, where Cuno was listed as a Minister in the census instead of a farmer. His grandson, Glenn Claussen, explained that Cuno was a Baptist Minister from time to time, in addition to his farming. Cuno's land in Illinois was not sold until 1871 and 1876. The family lived in Ross township of Cherokee on the Crawford County line, near the present town of Midland. While there, at least one of their oldest daughters married. Harriett and her husband, John Junkins, had a farm next to Cuno's. About 1878 most of the family left Kansas and traveled by ox cart to the area of Goldendale, Washington. Cuno purchased a land grant and remained there the rest of his life. One of his sons eventually returned to Cherokee Co., Kansas to take over the farm that had been his father's. In 1880 Cuno ran as a Democrat for probate judge, but lost. He was active in the Baptist Church at Goldendale. He received his final naturalization decree for U.S. citizenship in Klickitat County in 1891, in the later years of his life. Witnesses were Russell Prickett and Paul Beck. In 1896, his last remaining sibling, Julia, passed away in his former home of Montgomery Co., Illinios. She had no children, and left her modest estate of about $530 to her only surviving sibling, Cuno. Cuno appears to have traveled all the way back to Illinois that summer to collect this inheritance. Cuno lived well into old age for that time, and died in 1899 at Goldendale of heart disease. Mary Ann lived until 1918. Of their 15 children, it appears that 13 children survived to adulthood. They have a large number of descendants in Washington State, and probably some in Kansas as well.
