Through this office is administered the business and financial management of the local schools, and the conditions of the schools, highways and other improvements are largely an index of the character of the man chosen to fill that important office. The present incumbent of that office in Lake Township is Monroe Paulus, whose family was one of the first to locate in this section of the county, and the name Paulus has been prominently identified with that locality for over three quarters of a century. Monroe Paulus was born a mile and a half east of Silver Lake in Clay Township, February 5, 1858, son of Daniel and Maria A. (Miller) Paulus. His father was a native of Pennsylvania and his mother of Maryland, and after their marriage they lived in Montgomery County, Ohio, and in 1841 moved to Kosciusko County and settled in the wild woods, where they had a log cabin home until they could provide themselves with one of greater comforts. Daniel Paulus and his brother Jacob were the first merchants in what is now Silver Lake Village, and they were the founders of that town, the town being laid out on land owned by Jacob. Their old store, a hewed log structure, stood until 1884. Daniel Paulus and wife both died in 1886. They had their home on the farm where Monroe was born until 1864, when they moved to the Village of Silver Lake. Daniel Paulus was a democrat and a very active man of his party. He and his wife had the following children: Jacob M., Annie, David, Catherine, Henry, Mary A., Susannah, Elizabeth, Lydia, Monroe and Sarah. Five of these children are still living. Monroe Paulus grew up at Silver Lake, and after finishing his education went to work in a saw mill. He also had a splendid experience in grist and flour mills and in a butter tub factory. For three years he was in the saw mill business in Eastern Tennessee and for two and a half years was superintendent of the Nettleton hardwood Lumber Business. He also spent two and a half years in the far west, in Utah, in the milling business. In January, 1898, Mr. Paulus married Alice Funk, a native of Kosciusko County. After his marriage Mr. Paulus spent another period of two and a half years in the saw mill business in the State of Mississippi. On returning to Lake Township he resumed farming, and has since steadily devoted his time to his place of eighty-five acres three-quarters of a mile north of Silver Lake. He and his wife have four children: Cloice, who is married and lives on the home farm and has twin sons, Corlyss and Corlyle; Glenn, a graduate of high school, now serving with the American forces in the war against Germany; Meta, a graduate of the Silver Lake High School, and now a student in the South Bend College; and Thelma, who is in the second year of the local high school. Mr. Paulus is affiliated with Deming Lodge No. 88, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons at North Manchester, and is also a Past Noble Grand and a member of the Grand Lodge of the Odd Fellows, his local affiliation being with Silver Lake Lodge No. 576. In politics he is a democrat and it was as a member of that party, but chiefly as the man best fitted for the place, that his fellow citizens chose him for the responsibilities of township trustee.
