George Christian Von Bauer, the deceased was an old soldier, and the grand-father of our Deputy Postmaster, Frank C. Mosbaugh, to whom we are indebted for the following memoranda: "He was born February 24, 1792, at Goellheim, Bavaria. He was the youngest of the three children of Carl and Helene Bernardine Von Bauer. His maternal grandfather was Jean Van Kruyne, Vice Admiral under the orders of the College of Admirality of Zealand, Holland. Upon reaching manhood, he entered the army of Napoleon and accompanied him throughout his Russian campaign, being an eye-witness of the burning of Moscow. Returning from the army he married Louise Marx, of his native place, and became the father of ten children, five of whom he buried in Germany and one in Illinois, while four daughters still live. In 1838 he came to America and in 1858 procured his naturalization papers. He returned to Germany but once, making a three years' visit. Eighteen years ago his wife died and was buried at East Germantown, Ind., since which time he has lived with his children.

GEORGE CHRISTIAN VON BAUER, ... born Feb 24 1792 at Goelheim Bavaria ; married in 1811 LOUISE MARX, born Aug. 26 1890, in Goelheim ; he was a gentleman, well educated, spoke seven languages, and was very aristocratic in his views and bearing. He was six feet and one inch in height, and his brother was taller. He and his his sister were brought up by Mrs. Groff, who lived at his father's and whom they called mutter; their mother, mamma. Louis Kirshweger, a lawyer of Katzheim, (two miles from Goelheim,) was guardian for George and his sisters, from whom he received several sums of money. The estate was not settled for many years, owing to the uncertainty about his brother's death, and not to his satisfaction then. He was one of Napoleon's body guard, was in the Russian campaign, and was an eye witness of the burning of Moscow. After leaving the army, he became the owner of five teams and did a passenger and freight business between Goelheim in Bavaria, and Havre, France. He came to America in 1838, and rented for a year or two a dairy farm near Philadelphia, a part of which was occupied by the Centennial buildings. After this he spent three years in Germany. He was naturalized in 1856. He lived with his children after his return from Germany, till his death, which occurred at the home of his daughter Louise, Feb. 15 1878. His wife died Aug. 1, 1859 in Penville, Ind. They were both buried in Germantown, Ind.
