Inscription. This lot was originally part of C.F. Jaeger's farm and was inherited by Sophia Jaeger in 1883. That same year, it was sold to Max Schumacher, a dairyman. Schumacher built the Queen Anne and was given a $650 mortgage on the home in 1887. Charles Pausch, the owner of a carriage factory, purchased the home in 1890. Pausch lived there with his spouse, Elizabeth, and their three children until 1928 when Josephine Dabo bought the home. The residence remained in the Dabo family for over sixty years.

Erected by German Village Society.
