A letter from Sanuel A. Hauser to his uncle, Jonathan David Hooser
Winston Forsythe, North Carolina January 26, 1877
Dear Uncle,
Itis with great pleasure I seat myself to answer you kind letter which
came to hand some time ago. I would have answered it sooner if I could
have got mypicture. It was sick the day it was taken. I send you my
picture. Pleaseshow it to some of those pretty rich young ladies and
tell them I am single and on the market
Father has married since I wrote to you. He got a nice lady.
Sorry you are troubled so much with the grasshoppers. Father owns two
goodfarms. Crops are generally good in this country. I think if you was
here you would like it better than the western country. If you could
come here withfive or six thousand dollars you could by a first class
farm. I have been going to school nearly all the winter.
This is Uncle Williams Address. Reverend Dr. William Hauser, M.D.
Bartow P.O.
Jefferson County,
Georgia
Uncle William is one of the best informed men I ever talked with. He was
in thiscountry (?) years teaching music.
I send fathers and his wife and my brother, Elijah P. Hauser ( ? pictures
probably ). I will
probably send my sister's next time. I hope you will send me all of your
pictures you can.
If I thought that I could make a little fortune I might come out there
and spend a few years. Have you any music teachers out there.
Some talk of another war.May God in his mercy forbid it? This leaves
us all well. Please write soonand all the new
From your nephew

Does anyone out there know anyting about my ancestor, Dr. William Hauser,
originally from Winston-Salem area but moved to GA in mid-19th century.
He was a doctor, Methodist minister, professor in the Med College of GA
when it was in Savannah, and a fine musician. He edited "The Hesperian
Harp" (said to be one of dozen most significant shaped-note hymnals ever
published in the US, published in Dayton, VA in 1839. He also published
"The Olive Leaf" in the 1850's. He is written up in the works of the
noted American "White Spirituals" expert, George Pullen Jackson of
Vanderbilt. I bought the bookby Kenneth Hauser a number of years ago,
and my great-great-grandfather's name isn't even in it and none of his
accomplishments, although the Moravian Music Foundation labels him
"Appalachia's most significant contribution to American music." I bear
his name as my middle name (my mother's maiden name), andhis gifts rest
in me, both an organist / choir person by undergraduate degreeand a
Presbyterian minister of 35 years. I'd love to hear from anyone who might
know anything more about him and his work.

John: You will find reference to Dr. & Rev. William C. Hauser in the
family line of Martin Hauser III and Leah Billeter (actually Billiter) on
p. 278 of Kenneth Hauser's book. You alsowill find a paragraph, with a
footnote of references, about William C. on p.76 and a rather poor
reproduction of an engraving of him on p. 77. I have microfilm copies of
William C.'s Hesperian Harp and The Olive Leaf which were made for me by
the Research Library at UCLA. I have examined other original William C.
materials, including some autographic letters and billings from his
Wadley, GA, pharmacy (which featured patent medicines in alcohol
solutions)in the Historical Library in Savannah, Georgia. He also owned
a guano plant in Wadley! Finally, the LDS Family History Library has a
copy of Schmidt, Annie Laura (Hauser), "Eight Known Generations of the
Hauser Family in America: 1726 to 1956", publ. by the Hauser Printing
Co., New Orleans, LA, 1956(?) which has an extensive presentation about
William C. and his family. If you willcontact me at my e-mail address I
have notes I can send you. We are cousins.We both descend from Martin
III.

I have been especially interested in William Hauser,MD, (1-13-1812,
Bethania, NC--9-18-1880, Wadley, GA; buried at Hesperia, hisplantation
in Jefferson County, GA) Martin's son, my great-great-grandfather.He was
a Methodist minister (probably a Moravian originally) in GA, a doctor, a
professor in the Medical College of GA when it was in Savannah, and (most
important to me), a musician who edited two fine early American,
shaped-note hymnbooks. He edited "The Hesperian Harp" and published it in
1839. Much later he published "The Olive Leaf." Many tunes from "The
Hesperian Harp" arein modern American hymnals. I have an original copy
that belonged to Jefferson Davis; it has his signature in the front of
it. I acquired it (very expensive, from a collector) in 1977. He is
written up extensively in music historypublications of this century,
discussing the particular American musical phenomenon known as "fasolla"
or "shaped note" singing. His picture is in a notedwork, "White
Spirituals in the Southern Uplands" by George Pullen Jackson of
Vanderbilt, published in the 1930's. I am part.
