Dan Maybaum

I am puzzled by the identity of Dan Maybaum, whom in September 1919 we find announcing a public sale on the Charles Maybaum farm.

I've found him in the 1910 census, where he purports to be the son of Charles and Caroline Maybaum, and yet the obituary of Charles Sr., whence I gathered the long list of their children, does not mention a Dan, nor does Caroline's, nor any census other than the 1910.

Here and there I find Dan in my notes: in 1905 he bought a "trick donkey" (and then sold it); in 1910 he won a prize for his comic costume at a Deep River masquerade ball.

My theory at the moment is that this is one of the Maybaum sons (other than Charles Jr.) going by his middle name, or just a name he preferred.

Anyway, with all this selling going on, I wonder if the Maybaum land itself will go soon.

About two weeks earlier, William and Carrie Raschka made the 50-mile trip down to Knox, Indiana, for a big party in honor of Louis and Anna Raschka's 25th wedding anniversary.

Frank and Frieda Raschka also attended the party, traveling from their sadly quiet farm in Winfield Township.
