9. Anon. 1885. History of De Kalb County, Indiana...
Inter-State Publ. Co., Chicago, IL (excerpts online at the De Kalb County
INGenWeb site). On pp. 503-504:
| Joseph Straub is of German Ancestry. He came from
Marion County, Ohio, in 1835, with his wife and three children and settled
in Butler Township, De Kalb Co., Ind., where he bought a half section of
land from the Government, of which he cleared about forty acres.
In 1842 he sold his land and removed to Carroll County, where he farmed
five years, and in 1847 returned to this county, where he bought a quarter
section, and here he resided till his death, which occurred Dec. 25, 1860,
on his fifty-ninth birthday. His wife survived till June, 1881, when
she died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L.S. Bassett, which adjoins
the old homestead. Eight children were born to them --- Henry,
farming in Dakota; Susan (deceased); Simon Peter, who lives
on the homestead farm; Jacob, a Universalist minister; Margaret
Ann, Maria, Barbara Elizabeth, wife of L.S.
Bassett of Butler Township, and Solomon W., residing at Woodlawn
Park, near Chicago. Rev. Jacob Straub entered the ministry
in 1860 and has become a prominent minister of the Universalist denomination.
He has preached at Dowagiac, Mich., five years; Lansing, Mich., seven years;
Muskegon, Mich., four years. He then engaged in literary pursuits
for two years, living in Chicago and preaching irregularly, and for the
past seven years he has been pastor at Marseilles, Ill. He is the
author of “Consolations of Science,” which has received favorable notice
from scientific and religious thinkers in Europe and America. He
intends to devote his future years to literary pursuits. Mary
Ann Straub has been in the Universalist ministry five years,
filling the pulpit at Castalia, Iowa, for three years. She now resides
in Woodlawn Park, Ill. She has composed many Sunday-school hymns
and has also written an unpublished work for women.
Maria Straub also resides at Woodlawn Park. She has
a volume of poems almost ready for publication and has also written much
sacred music. She is the regular correspondent of the ”Religious
Telescope,” Dayton, Ohio. Prof. S.W. Straub has made music,
vocal and instrumental, his life’s work. He has conducted musical
conventions for many years and has published a dozen or more musical books,
including several Sunday-school books which are extensively used.
Those best known are “Morning Light" and “Living Fountain,” for Sabbath-schools.
He has also published “Convention, Choir and Anthem Treasures” for choir
purposes and also some sheet music. He founded “Song Friend,” a musical
periodical now in the sixth volume, which he still conducts in connection
with general music publishing in Chicago. His son, Arthur M.,
is a pianist of promise. He is now teaching and studying music. Henry
Straub, his eldest son, has been Justice of the Peace for many years. |
Margaret Ann is Mary
Ann, at least according to the 1850/60/70 censuses and according
to the second mention in this same bio.
