Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
I was trying to send my search results but that didn't happen. To reach
the page I wanted to send, type Clauser in the search box and the
businesses come up.

The following was posted on a GenForum board. If you go to
http://genforum.genealogy.com/ and enter a name or word in the "Search all
of GenForum" it is supposed to pull up listings with that name/word. I was
surprised when I entered Clauser at what did not show up that I knew had
been posted to the CLAUSER GenForum board. However, it connected me with
some messages and people I hadn't seen before. The following was from
Edward L. Lohr. I e-mailed him and he gave me permission to forward his
posting to our mailing list. Happy hunting! Sandy

GEORGE ALVIN CLAUSER, M. D.
Dr. George Alvin Clauser has been actively engaged in the
practice of medicine and surgery at Bridgewater since 1900 and has won
and maintained an enviable reputation as a leading and able
representative of the profession in McCook county and South Dakota. His
birth occurred in Rossville, Indiana, on the 3d of January, 1865, his
parents being William and Carrie (Kuhns) Clauser, both of whom have
passed away. Throughout his active business career the father was
successfully identified with general agricultural pursuits.
George Alvin Clauser began his education in the graded schools
and later continued his studies in the high school of Logansport,
Indiana, while subsequently he was graduated from the Northern Indiana
Normal School at Valparaiso, winning the degree of Bachelor of Science
in 1891. He then took up the profession of teaching and for three years
was identified with educational interests as school principal at
Ladora, Iowa. On the expiration of that period he entered the College
of Medicine of the State University of Iowa at Iowa City, which
institution conferred upon him the degree of M. D. in 1897. During the
following two and a half years he did his initial work as a medical
practitioner at Rossville, Indiana, and in 1900 came to Bridgewater,
South Dakota, where he has since remained and has been very successful,
enjoying a gratifying and well merited practice. His standing in the
profession is high and he is now serving as president of the Mitchell
District Medical Society, holds the position of city health officer and
is vice president of the county board of health. He likewise belongs to
the South Dakota State Medical Society and the American Medical
Association.
On the 6th of October, 1893, Dr. Clauser was united in marriage
to Miss Carrie Warren, of Iowa, a daughter of Calvin and Julia (Back)
Warren. To this union have been born three children, namely: Clarence
Francis, Zula Mae and Alvin Robinson. The religious faith of the family
is that of the Presbyterian church, and in politics Dr. Clauser is a
staunch republican. His fraternal relations are with the Masons, the
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows. He possesses the personality, acute mental powers and skill in
diagnosis which are so essential to the practitioner. Of studious
habits, he is constantly striving to improve the standard of his own
work and that of the profession in general, readily adapting in his
practice every new method the efficacy of which he feels is above
question.

Hi Sandy. I am having trouble with my download thing. Someone will be
coming to help me soon - I hope. Anyhow, your clausers are mine if your came
in through Berks County AND - I have them documented back to Meinradue
Clauser, b. 1585 and his wife Ottilla Rierer. She was born 20 June 1604 In
Herbolzheim, Freibg Baden as were all of the others. Her parents were
Nicolaus Rierer B. ca. 1575 and Magdalena Kuenzer, b. 1575.
I am in the process of moving, and have already packed by genealogy
materials, which will not be unpacked until I am totally moved about the
middle of October and my new computer station has been installed. Anyhow, I
will send you some lineage sheets showing the line. Okay for now? I will be
only too happy to share the documentation. Honest. They are town records
from Herbolzheim. Shirley

Hi....I have the Clauser Family back to the 1400 or 1500s - all documented,
and I will be happy to share. Did your family originate in Berks/Perry
County Pa? Give me your earliest. Now I must share this with you. I am in
the midst of packing to move (Oct. 1st.) A good bit of my "stuff" is still
accessible, but I'm not sure if yours is. If I am what you consider "too
slow" getting back to you, please get back to me with a reminder. We all
tend to forget when stressed, and stressed I am now. Okay? I certainly
won't mind.
Just let me know your earliest and share your snail address. I do okay with
computers, but I am not able to transfer things as yet. Anyhow, if done
right, you should have paper in hand on EVERYTHING. Okay????? By the way,
how did you find me? Shirley
Hi Sandy. Certainly. I am always to share, and I don't look for credits.
Okay? My computer crashed and I have been down for several weeks. I still
am unable to use my scanner and printer but at least I am able to get back on
line. Shirley
Hi Shirley:
Would you permit me to submit the messages you sent to me such as the one
below to the CLAUSER mailing list at Rootsweb?

Sure, Sandy, use them or e-mail as you like. That is fine with me. We just
have been so busy and have a lot in our basket at the present, I have not
worked on genealogy.
Hi Carolyn:
I wondered if you would permit me to forward this e-mail message below to
the CLAUSER mailing list. Others who are researching the CLAUSER name may
see a connection. Would that be okay with you?
I hope you are doing fine!
