#0002 - Colwell
All other information given to this record by her son Robert Hauswirth from memory.
Zola as she was know started her career as a secretary working for Lyle Bros real estate in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Her secretarial training was at the private Garbutt's Business College in Calgary. This was in the depression years of the 1930's for North America. She was layed off her job when business slowed to a trickle at Lyle's and decided to go back to study being a teacher planning to go to Maryville Missouri. Money she had saved up was needed for the family and she never made it back to school to study to be a teacher. She was somewhat bitter toward some of the Colwell family members because of this (see memoirs of Robert Hauswirth and family history of the Colwell and Hauswirth familiers and there kin).
Mom then married and became a farmer's wife settling on the farm started by Otto Hauswirth her husband (SE 1/4, sec 19, twnsp 22, R26, W4). Mom had the temperment of an artist which was some what tempermental. She was gifted as a painter and loved music. She nearly always read sheet music to play when playing the violin and piano. This love of music caused her to drive both her children, Bob and Dawna, into music lessons (with limited success).
Her health later gave problems when she developed high blood pressure and later died of a stroke. Probably her temperment and the stress this caused her added to her medical problems.
During her career as a farmer she raised turkeys and chickens as well as kept a big garden. I remember the garden harvests in the fall of the year and especially the canning of young chickens and the making of a ten gallon crock of sauer kraut. The poultry was her spending money. She did not like house work or washing such things as the cream separator, dishes or the milk pails. The cream came from milking one to three milk cows which provided a weekly cream check from the creamery which was a welcome trickle of cash flow in the 1930's. Later Dawna and Bob bought her a dish washer knowing her dread of washing dishes but that was new technology she never quite managed.
Mom had the great manual dexterity of an artist but driving a car was a chore for her when I was a very small child. When she first married she couldn't drive. She had to learn in a hurry. Dad showed her how to shift gears, break and use the accelerator pedal and sent her on her way in his old 1926 Dodge roadster. She poked on at a slow five to ten miles per hour for the first while as she got used to steering. Shifting, clutching, using the choke, etc all nearly at the same time just nearly defeated her. Her solution was to ignore the choke and a few other minor controls on the dash hoping she could get the car moving if she was starting with a cold engine. She would start the engine and imediately pump the accelerator pedal to keep the engine running. This she had to for she was ignoring the choke. She would then shift to first gear and let out the clutch. Usually the car would sputter, caugh and die. She would restart the engine and pump the accererator pedal causing the engine to go into sucessive fits of screaming as she raced the engine almost as it she was punishing it for daring to act that way. This time she let out the clutch but with the engine racing. Most of the time it would die again. She then would repeat the previous step with more racing and punishment for the engine. By now the engine would be warm enought to run but this time when letting out the clutch with the engine racing the wheels would spin, dirt, rocks and gravel would shoot rearward as she and the car took off in the other direction. In 1952 Dad bought a new car with an automatic choke and some of her troubles disappeared. In 1956 Dad traded cars for one with both an automatic choke and automatic transnission and her troubles with driving were over.
She could be persuaded to drive the truck during seeding and harvest as well as do other farm chores but she refused to milk the cow or dive a tractor in the fields. | COLWELL, Lula Zola (I010)

1) Married at Knox United Church in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. June 26, 1933.
2) Witnesses were Zela Colwell and Frank Winkler.
3) Signature of Pastor.
The following information by his son Robert (Bob) Hauswirth from memory.
Dad, Otto Carl Hauswirth, was a man whom I never knew as a man who wasn't ill. He suffered from an ulcerated stomach from the time I first became aware of him until 1956 when he underwent surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota, U.S. for A. That surgery allowed him to eat a decent meal once again though not a large meal. Prior to surgery he would eat soft foods and ones specifically given him as a diet by his doctor. I remember him first on his diet of nothing but milk. He would fill up on raw milk from the farm every two hours. He would go to the field to drive the tractor and take two quarts of milk with him burying the milk containers in the soft plowed earth under a fuel wagon to keep the milk cool and out of the sun. Two hours later he would stop for a drink of milk and again two hours later. We had a small Case tractor a DC4 which was of short wheelbase. This short wheelbase caused the tractor to ride rough. He sometimes would get sick from the roughness and when he did he would get off the tractor, throw up, and them get back on and drive further. He was as you might guess a very stubborn man. This was during the 1950's. At this point in time we also had another tractor, a Cockshutt 99, that had a longer wheel base, larger than the case and it rode much smoother. This tractor he could tolerate the ride so he always tried to use this tractor when he was working the fields with a tractor.
In 1950 we noticed dad developing a lump on his lip about where his cigarette was constantly hanging from his mouth. The doctor (Dr. A.E. Talbot) was not sure what it was. In 1951 grandmother Elizabeth Colwell was killed in an auto accident travelling from Rochester Minnesota to Calgary with Aunt Hazel and Anut Mary and Uncle Andrew in uncle Andrew's car. Her body was brought to Calgary for buriel by Aunt Nell and Aunt Zella. After the service Dad and I drove Aunts Nell and Zela back to Rochester where dad had a checkup for the lump and I also had a checkup. CANCER was the diagnosis for dad. This lump and a small mole on his face beside his nose were both cancer. The mole was the most dangerous, a skin cancer which if it hasd been left unchecked would have been fatal in a few months. Both cancers were removed at the Mayo clinic. Dad from then on felt he was living on borrowed time. He told me just after we arrived home he expected to be buried within two years. He was wrong but lived as if he had very little time left. He refused to quite smoking as the doctors ardered. He was going to have some "pleasure with what little time he had left". He also drank coffee like an addicted man with the same excuse.
In 1954 while on a trip to Edmonton to spend Christmas with the Orvis' we were "rear ended" which gave us all whiplash. There were five cars end to end when it was over. This accident cause us all to have chiropractic treatments for the whip lash. X-rays were taken and dad was warned he had calcium deposits in his joints. Later Rhumatoid arthritis was diagnosed. Speculation the high milk diet as a few years prevoius caused the extra calcium to deposit out causing th arthritis. When the pain of arthritis started to bother his sleep he would take two aspirins for relief. Later his stomach started to hurt again and speculation was the aspirins were the culprit.
Dads passion or hobbies were hunting and fishing. He owned three fire arms, a 22 calibur rifle, a 300 calibur big game rifle and a twelve gauge shotgun. He like to take a month each fall and go big game hunting. When in junior high school it seemed to me we never did anything else on a sunday but go to the river or lake for a picnic and fishing. Mom got so sick of fishing trips. I got sick of trying to fish and not catch anything while dad was catching them right and left. He was good at fishing. He then wanted me to clean them when we got home while he "did his chores".
Dad was a farmer all his life. This he attributed to my grandfather Jacob Hauswirth. Dad said his boyhood dream was to go railroading. Grandpa said "no" he wanted him on the farm with him. Grandpa won out. He quite school after completing grade nine and farmed with his father in Missouri. He later left Missouri for Canada and established his own farm in the Dalemead district of Alberta. The "bald headed prairie" as he called it. He told me he thought he was in heaven there for there was no brush to chop, no roots to grub and he didn't have to walk up and down hills. Dad said he made the most money from his cattle herd of which he was most proud.
Mom and dad were married in 1933. He was 37 years and mom 24 years or a difference of 13 years in age. It was convenient as well as a mutual attraction for both. Dad wanted the help of a wife in the house and yard, mom lost her job in the depression and wanted stability. It worked but was "stormy". Dad was a great "saver" probably beacuse of his experience in the depression of the 1930's. Mom wanted to spend more money than dad for living but was a "saver" herself. Dad had more security having a bank account than the things a bank account could buy. Two children subsequently arriving complicated his saving money obsession.
Dad while a saver did have a nice car. He would buy a "middle of the line" model in deluxe features and then completely wear them out before replacing it. He wanteed to buy a pick up truck but in his mind felt it too big an expense for the use he would get from it. He did buy one after he essentially quite farming. The car was sometimes used like a truck. The back seat some trips had a calf on the floor in a "gunny sack" with just its head out of the sack. Other times the back seat was full of egg crates or plucked turkeys. Cream cans carried in the truck of the car were common each trip to the city for supplies. He had a good line of machinery including a two ton grain truck and two tractors.
Dad's health forced him to quite farming in the late 1960's. He had berger's disease a circulatory disease complicated by smoking, surgery for an ulcerated stomach and cancer. All surgery performed at the Mayo clinic in Rochester Minnisota, U. S. of A. He never quite smoking and would not entertain the idea that his health would improve if he did so.

The name Charles Hauswirth was taken from the U.S. Census of 1870.
John Hauswirth was taken from the death certificate of his son Jacob Hauswirth and from the linage prepared by June (Hauswirth) Hoettie when she was in High School. The family therefore knew the father of Jacob Hauswirth as John Hauswirth. The information of John given on the death certificate was given by Romeo Hauswirth, Grandson of Charles. This is considered incorrect information on a legal document.
The 1870 Census lists Charles as 32 years old. Also his trade as a Brick Mason.
Contact with Marylin Moak Troyer of Brookfield Illinois rvealed her information that Charles was called Carl by his family. Marylin is the GGGrandaughter of Charles (Carl) (Karl). Karl and Charles are the same name, Charles being the English form that was used on the census form and Karl the German form. Later generations show that the name Carl was used as the Anglicized spelling of Karl. Otto Carl Hauswirth, Grandson of Charles Hauswirth had a birth certificate recorded as Otto Karl Hauswirth. He spelled his name as Otto Carl Hauswirth throughout his liftime. | HAUSWIRTH, Charles (I139)
