JACOB DAUNHAUER, grain and produce merchant of Troy, was born in Rheimberg, Germany, July 24, 1830. He came to America with his parents when an infant, and was reared on a farm in Dubois County, Indiana. October 19, 1852, he married Maria Spade, a native of Pennsylvania, and of German descent. The following spring he came to Troy and engaged in the grocery and liquor business; and later added dry goods. Shortly before the war, he engaged in flat-boating, but since that time, has been in business in Troy, dealing in liquors, grist-milling, and also in produce and grain, with the exception of one year, when he was in Evansville. Mr. Daunhauer is a self-made man, and has succeeded in accumulating quite a competency. He is a Mason, and himself and family are members of the Catholic Church. He is the father of five living children Mary (now Mrs. C.C. Lugg), Jacob N., Josephine, William G. and Andrew. His parents, Joseph and Sophia (Reickert) Daunhauer, came to the United States from Germany in 1831, and located in Pennsylvania, where they remained until about 1841, when they removed to Dubois County, Ind. The mother died in 1860. The father is still living at Owensboro, Ky., having attained the age of ninety years.

Notes:

When Fr. Joseph Kundek invited German Catholics from the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Louisville areas to come and settle in the new town of Ferdinand, many stout-hearted Germans came down the river to Troy and set out over land to the town. Many of them had seen advertisements published in 1840 in Der Wahreheitsfreund, a German-language Catholic weekly. The advertisement read:

"The German Catholic congregation in Jasper, Dubois County, Indiana, has laid out a new town with the name ?Ferdinand? twelve miles south of Jasper on the Troy Road, about eighteen miles from the Ohio. In the middle of the town there is a Catholic church; in the neighborhood of the town there are about forty farmers, and more than 120 sections of Congress land - The region is healthful, the soil fertile. A German Catholic priest is appointed for it as soon as the congregation increases."

The first arrivals expected to find a cluster of cabins set up in a clearing in the woods. Instead they only found a clapboard nailed to a big oak tree with the name ?Ferdinand? burnt in with an iron. Plans for the town existed merely on paper.

Some of the settlers continued on to Evansville, but others decided to help build the town of Fr. Kundek?s dreams. Philip Wagner bought the first plot of land from Fr. Kundek, just south of the town limits. He built a two-story log house there, and it was here that Fr. Kundek celebrated the first Holy Mass in Ferdinand on April 22, 1840.
