       WILLIAM BAUDER,
   
   [p. 522] owner of a beautiful farm of thirty-two acres adjoining the
   village of Rose Point, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, is a well known
   and highly esteemed citizen of that community. He was born in Allegheny
   County, Pennsylvania, May 18, 1843, and is a son of John and Anna
   (Willama) Bauder, and grandson of Abraham.
   
   Abraham Bauder was born in Switzerland, and rather late in life
   emigrated from that country to America, taking up his residence in
   Allegheny County. He spent the declining years of his life in Butler
   County, dying at the advanced age of eighty-four years. His widow died
   two days later, aged seventy-four years. They had three children: John,
   Jacob and Maria.
   
   John Bauder, father of William, was born in Switzerland and first came
   to America in 1828. He subsequently returned to his native land, was
   married there, and in 1832 returned to this country, accompanied by his
   wife and their one child, John, and his parents. Upon reaching Erie,
   Pennsylvania, they purchased a horse, having brought a wagon with them
   from Switzerland, and hauled their possessions from Erie to Allegheny
   County, but the members of the party made the journey afoot. John Bauder
   was a cooper by trade, as was his father, and he also followed
   carpentering some years. He engaged in the dairy business in Allegheny
   County, but finally sold out there and moved to near Portersville,
   Butler County, where he owned some 500 acres of land. He lived and
   farmed there until his death at the age of seventy-nine years. Mrs.
   Bauder died there at the age of seventy-six years. She was born in
   Switzerland, and was a daughter of John Willama. Thirteen children, as
   follows, were born to them, all being born in this country but the
   eldest: John, deceased; Anna, deceased; Jacob; Nicholas; Mary;
   Frederick; Henry; William; Charles; Samuel, deceased; Edward; Samuel,
   and one who died in infancy.
   
   William Bauder received his education in the schools of Butler County,
   and farmed there until 1863. He enlisted for nine months' service in the
   One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry,
   participating with that regiment in the battles of Fredericksburg and
   Chancellorsville, as well as numerous minor engagements. He subsequently
   re-enlisted as a member of the Sixth Heavy Artillery, or the Two Hundred
   and Twelfth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served until the end of the
   war. Shortly after his return from the war he was married and settled on
   a farm in Butler County, where he farmed until 1889. He then purchased
   his present place of thirty-two acres adjoining Rose Point, where he
   conducts a high-class summer resort. He has one of the prettiest places
   in the county, it being near Muddy Creek Falls and McConnell's Mill,
   affording excellent fishing and boarding. In the summer months he has as
   guests a number of the leading families of nearby cities, who enjoy the
   recreation, baths and sports there to be obtained.
   
   In 1866 Mr. Bauder was joined in marriage with Miss Anna Pisor, a
   daughter of Joseph Pisor, who was a farmer of Butler County. The
   following are the issue of their marriage: Henry R., who married
   Elizabeth Marshall and has four children, Clarence, Ellsworth, Marie and
   Chester; Kate, deceased; Ellen, deceased; one who died unnamed; Charles,
   who married Tresse Lorain, and has a daughter, Guela; Harry, who married
   in Oklahoma and has a son, Francis William; James, who married Ida
   Shaffer and has one child, Verleigh; Edwin Nicholas, a veteran of the
   Spanish-American War, who married Mabel Elder and has three children,
   Elizabeth, Stiner and William Elder; and Sarah is the wife of Ralph
   Weller. In political affiliation Mr. Bauder is a Republican. He and his
   family are members of the Presbyterian Church at Portersville.
   Fraternally he has been a member of Lodge No. 909, I.O.O.F., at
   Portersville, since 1872.
