Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 October 1903 — FOUR GENERATIONS. [ARTICLE]

FOUR GENERATIONS.

Mr. F. W. Mauck of Newton tp.. was in the city Tuesday; and with his son D. W. Mauck of Newton county, the latter's son and this son’s daughter, making four generations, had his picture taken in a group. Mr. Mauck, senior, is now 75 years of age, and has resided in Newton township for 46 years, on the same farm. He was born, grew to manhood and was married in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, about 100 miles from Washington, and often visited that city and the senate chambers and listened to debates of Calhoun, Webster, Clay, Douglas and other great men of that day. He moved to Jasper county in October, 1857, and has resided here continuously since. Mr. Mauck has raised quite a large family of children, who are a credit to their parents and to Jasper oounty. Like their father, the boys are true-blue democrats and respected citizens. Mr. Mauck is enjoying very good health at present and bids fair to live many more years.
