OBERHAUSE, CASPER, Napoleon, a resident of Napoleon township, was born in Prussia, September 9, 1813, and was married in 1841 to MARY GUNNER, who was born in Prussia. They came to America in 1844, and settled in Wood county, O., where MARY died in 1845, leaving two sons, one of whom is now living, FRED.
