Milton E. Ausman, a prominent farmer in the town of Spring Brook, a member of a well known family of pioneer associations, was born on the John Ausman farm in Section 11, this town, Oct. 13, 1886, son of John and Elizabeth (Schweitzer) Ausman. He was reared on the home farm and as a boy attended the Rork School, his education being supplemented by a course in a St. Paul high school, where he was graduated with the class of 1908. He then entered Highland Park College in Des Moines, Iowa, where he studied for nearly two years.
In 1910 he returned home and took charge of the home farm, a tract of 400 acres, which he operated until 1919. He then purchased the old Schaaf farm of 160 acres in Section 2, town of Spring Brook, and this, with 160 acres in Section 11, which were deeded to him by his father, make him the proprietor of a farm of 320 acres. For several years he has been extensively engaged in dairying, and the raising of beef cattle and hogs, always keeping a large dairy herd, and he has had in his possession as many as 700 head of hogs at one time. Mr. Ausman is now engaged in pea raising and in the present year, 1924, raised 85 tons of shelled peas, equivalent to 200,000 cans. He is a stockholder in the Elk Mound Cooperative Creamery and for several years was a stockholder in the Bank of Elk Mound. His fraternal affiliations are with the Masonic Blue Lodge in Menomonie.
Mr. Ausman was married Jan. 23, 1919, in Elk Mound, to Anna E. Goetz, daughter of Louis and Era K. (Battenberg) Goetz, and he and his wife are parents of two sons, Erving M. and John L.
