Misc. Notes
Joseph Rauch father of James G., attended the common schools of his native township, making good use of his time spent in school, which was a great help to him later in his large and successful business career. After learning the trade of cabinetmaker with his father's instructions, he turned his attention to carriage and wagon building, in which line he became as successful as his father had become in his work. A wagon with the stamp of Joseph Ranch's name on it was regarded as one of the best that could be gotten anywhere. Mr. Rauch, on account of his superior workmanship is well known, especially in the upper end of the county. In 1867 Joseph Rauch was married to Amelia Hausman. Mrs. Rauch was born Jan. 8, 1946, died Dec. 20, 1909. Mr. Rauch married the second time. Sarah Semmel, a daughter of Joshua and Mazy (Zimmerman) Semmel.
