Oscar SCHLOTTHAUER, the County Clerk of Dane County, Wisconsin, has been a 
resident of Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin, all his life, having been born 
her about thirty-three years ago, and was educated in the private and public 
schools of the city. Later in life he became a railroad postal clerk, 
running from Chicago [Cook County, Illinois] to Winona [Winona County], 
Minnesota [just across the Mississippi River from Trempealeau County, 
Wisconsin]. After his father's death he assumed the management of his 
business until he was elected County Clerk.

The father of our subject was a native of Hesse-Cassel, Germany, and was 
named George. He came to the United States in 1850, when he was about 
twenty-six years of age. He spent two years in New York City, when he 
removed to New Orleans, where he resided about four nears; then he [George 
SCHLOTTHAUER] married and came to Madison [Dane County, WI] and remained here 
until his death, which occurred in 1886. His wife, who is yet living, was 
Miss Gertrude [p 314] BACHEM, born in the Rhine province, Prussia, and came 
to the United States in 1855. One year later she married and removed to 
Madison, where she has since made her home, and where she and her husband 
were well-known German residents. Our subject [Oscar] is he second of three 
sons born to these parents [George and Gertrude (BACHEM) SCHLOTTHAUER], of 
whom one, August, the oldest, died in 1876. The other son, Julius, is 
manager of the Lake City House in Madison.

Our subject [Oscar] is a strong and active Democrat, and has always exerted 
himself for the cause of the party and for the good of Madison. As a reward 
for his industry he was elected County Clerk in 1890, and re-elected in 1892, 
and has filled the position in a very satisfactory manner to all parties.

Mr. [Oscar] SCHLOTTHAUER is very social in his nature and is a charter member 
of the Lake City Gun Club, and is very fond of hunting and fishing. He has 
never married, but as he is yet a young man his friends hope to be introduced 
to a Mrs. SCHLOTTHAUER before many years have gone by.
