History

Hauser Family Cemetery  Location

Emanuel Hauser (1805-1891)

In 1852, a Swiss emigrant by the name of Emanuel Hauser purchased 160 acres of forest land in La Crosse County. Over the next 20 years, Hauser and his four sons turned the wooded land into a family farm located, in what today is, the city of Onalaska, but was historically in the Town of Medary.

The first grave in the Hauser Family Cemetery was that of Emanuel Hauser's wife Maria. She passed away in 1857, only nine weeks after the birth of their daughter. Emanuel Hauser lived until 1881 and was then buried next to his wife.

Before his death, Emanuel divided his farm land up between his four sons. Two of the sons sold their portions of land to their two brothers. John E. built a large frame farmhouse on the land, while his brother, E. Fred, built a two story brick home. Both brothers married and raised their families on the Hauser land.

Emil Hauser, the son of E. Fred, was a third generation Hauser and last of the Hauser family to live on the family farm. Little by little, the land was sold to make way for railroad tracks, Interstate 90, and the development of an industrial park. However, Emil Hauser and his wife, Hattie, kept a small portion of land and built a house of their own. Emil Hauser died in 1971 and his grave was the last to be added to the Hauser Cemetery.

The descendants of John E. and E. Fred continue the upkeep of the family cemetery to this day.

John Rudolph Hauser (1867-1948)

Educated until the third grade, John taught English in the Town Hall to immigrants. He spoke both high and low Dutch. later, John and his brothers formed a band playing all instruments and writing their own music. Johns's specialty was the violin. His first marriage ended after only one year, upon the death of his first wife of tuberculosis. John took up walking the roads bringing him to the attention of his neighbor, Emma Rose Tabbert.
