He learned the trade of a hatter in Philadelphia, where he married. He then returned to Middletown, Dauphin County, where he carried on a successful business. He was chosen to the Legislature in 1827, serving two terms, having previously been county auditor, 1822 to 1825. Mr. Lauman kept the "stage office" near Centre Square, and on the 24th of December, 1829, succeeded John McCammon as postmaster, an office he held until his death. He was succeeded by his widow, who filled the position until June, 1834, when she removed from the borough.
