John Daub

    John Daub, farmer, and stock raiser, was born in Vanderburg County, Indiana, May 16, 1839, the youngest of four children born to Michael and Christina (Kisten) Daub, who were natives of Germany, from whence they removed to this country in 1827, making their home in Vanderburg county, Indiana, until their respective deaths, which occurred in 1847 and 1863.

    John received only limited schooling advantages in youth, and at the age of twelve years began working on a farm to support his mother and sister. In 1857 he came to this county (Warrick) and continued working as a farm hand until the breaking out of the Rebellion.

    April 29, 1861, he was united in marriage with Artimecia Spilman, and the same year moved to Vanderburg County and engaged in farming on his own responsibility. He remained there ten years, then removed back to Warrick County and Hart Township, where he now owns a good farm of 127 acres, on which he resides in comfort and happiness.

    In politics Mr. Dub has been a life long Democrat, and has served as Township Trustee with credit to himself and satisfaction of all concerned. He and wife have a family of ten children, only the following named now living: William C., Rhoda C., Harvey T., Metta C., Una D. and Julia.
