- JOHN J. HAUCK, Lawrenceburgh, was born in Germany in 1816. He was reared to early manhood in his native country, immigrating to the United States at the age of sixteen years. He located in Cincinnati and was there engaged four years in the baker's trade, which he learned of his father in the old country. In 1836 he married Ann M. HORNBERGER and in the same year came to Lawrenceburgh, and opened up a bakery and confectionery, which he conducted for several years. He entered the hardware trade subsequently and also carried a stock of dry goods, conducting these lines of business from 1843 to 1859, when his failing health compelled him to retire from active business. Mr. Hauck served in the city council for several years, and in 1873 was elected mayor of Lawrenceburgh, holding the office for a period of six years and discharging his duties fearlessly and creditably. In 1880 his health failed entirely, and he departed this life February 2d of that year. He was an enterprising business man, and always made his influence felt in the progressive measures relating to the city. He was one of the founders of the Miami Valley Furniture Factory, and to his energy its ultimate success was largely due. Mr. Hauck was the father of eight children, seven of whom are still living, namely: John, John J., Caroline M., Henrietta M., George F., Emma C. and Warren N. Two of the sons are grocers, located at Greenfield, Ind., and a third at Indianapolis, Ind. In 1847 Mr. HAUCK, with George Ross' assistance, built the first Reformed Church in Lawrenceburgh. He was a member of the Reformed society for eleven years, but subsequently joined the Presbyterians. Both as business man and citizen Mr. HAUCK occupied and enviable position in the esteem of his associates. Warren N. HAUCK, son of John J. HAUCK, and city attorney for Lawrenceburgh, was born in the said city in 1860. He grew to maturity in the town of his birth, and was educated in its public schools, graduating in 1878. In 1880-81 he took a course in the Nelson Business College, Cincinnati, and in the fall of the latter year entered the Cincinnati Law School, graduating in 1883. He entered upon the practice of his profession in Cincinnati and continued the same in that city one year, when he came to Lawrenceburgh, May, 1884. Previous to this he had in 1882-83 attended for a time the McMichen University of Cincinnati. In the spring of 1884 he was elected to the office of city attorney of Lawrenceburgh, to fill the unexpired term of A.W. Ganes, who had tendered his resignation, and in this position he is now employed. He is a young man of excellent character, and with the qualities of mind and heart calculated to secure for him success of the highest order.
