General Notes: Husband - George Trauger

---

He received his education in the subscription schools of his youthful days and began for himself as a farmer. His main business through life has been farming and milling but was engaged for two or three years in mercantile business, owning a store at Pleasant Unity and one at Bradenville. He owned a fine farm underlaid with coal and a flourishing mill with all modern improvements. He was a democrat, though rather independent in local matters, and with his wife belonged to the Lutheran church. [BHCWC, 522]

When he started in life for himself he purchased a small farm at what became Trauger's Station, in Mount Pleasant township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. There was then an old water-mill on the place which had been built by a member of the Lose family, and this mill Mr. Trauger operated in connection with his farm. He found time to make improvements in it until he had a complete roller-process mill, and he also increased his farm until he was the owner of two hundred and twenty-five acres of land. He followed the milling business in connection with farming until he retired from active labor some years prior to his death. For many years he was a member of the school board. He was a man whose advice was sought, and who acted as guardian for many orphan children in his part of the county. He was a Democrat in politics. He was an active member of the Lutheran church, filling the offices of deacon and elder and frequently representing his church at the synod. [HWC 1906 III, 5]
