Samuel Ausman married Jane Bayne in 1856 in Ontario, Canada. Her parents were Scots. Samuel and Jane moved to the American Midwest in 1873. It is somewhat curious that Samuel left Canada because he was the oldest son and would have inherited his fathers property. Whatever the reason, wanderlust or the incentive of free land prompted many to move to the American West. In 1873, the U.S. was still was trying to tame the wild West and that was when Samuel left Canada with his wife and eight children and returned to his roots in the United States. They landed in Delaware County, Iowa first. In 1876, Ella Mae Ausman was born in Delaware County. They moved in the late 1870s to homestead in Knox County, Nebraska situated in the Northeast corner of the state on the border with South Dakota. My great grandfather William Edwin Ausman, the youngest child of Samuel and Jane Ausman, was born on the homestead. The Ausman family remained there until the 1890s, when the family settled in Sioux City, Iowa.
By 1910, five of the ten Ausman siblings were dead.
