CHARLES E. SAUSSER, confectioner, Lebanon. The subject of this sketch is a son of Thomas Sausser, who was born in Berks Co., Penn., July 23, 1797, and died at Lebanon, Ohio, April 18, 1875. His wife, Abigail (Mills) Sausser, was born in Schuylkill Co., Penn., Feb, 8, 1803, and died at Lebanon, Ohio, July 8, 1867. In 1818, Mr. Sausser came from Pennsylvania to Dayton, |

Ohio, where he worked as a tailor for a few years. He then returned to Pennsylvania, where he married Abigail Mills in 1826, and in 1827 again went to Dayton, accompanied by his brother Joseph. Being unable to find vacant dwellings at Dayton, they continued on to Xenia, where Thomas remained, while his brother came to Lebanon, where he settled. After several years residence in Xenia, where his three eldest children were born, Mr. Sausser removed to Jamestown, Ohio, and in 1832 to Lebanon, where, at the time of his death, he had lived forty-three years. He had eight children, two daughters and six sons. Of the latter, Charles E., our subject, was born June 16, 1834, being the first born in Lebanon. He remained in the place of his birth until 1855, when he went to Indiana and engaged in the bakery and confectionery business, at which he continued until 1859, when he returned to Lebanon. He was married, Dec. 7,1856, to Miss Mary Fay, of Jefferson, Ashtabula Co., Ohio, by whom he had one child—Jennie, born Nov. 20, 1859. Mr. Sausser enlisted as a private in the late rebellion, but with many others was rejected, as Ohio's quota was filled. He returned to Lebanon and recruited part of a company in June, 1862, and entered the army as First Lieutenant of Co. B, 85th O. V. I. He remained in the army until near the close of the war, and was honorably discharged at Columbus, Ohio, in the spring of 1865, having been promoted to Captain in the year previous. Since the war, he has been actively engaged in the confectionery and fancy grocery business, being now engaged in the stand established by his father many years ago. |
