William Hauser

I studied art and history. I worked for the Forest Service as an exhibit designer in CA for 8 years and then moved to DC as national head of still photography for ten years. I finished my government career as a curator in the rare books section of the National Agricultural Library. In 1985 I created laser discs containing thousands of historical photos. I retired there in 1989 and became a consultant on government contracts. We moved to Layton, Utah with my wife Kathie's job in 1992. I retired again, but did some technical writing, and part time jobs. Now, I'm an armed security guard. My Hauser family research is going fairly well, but ironically my one mystery Hauser is my grandfather Clyde Hauser who I recently found out was a security guard. The mystery is his disappearance in 1914. He went to work one day and never was seen again. He left nine children. And reportedly was not the sort to leave. I have many problems on m mother's side. My Grandfather was George Ides Neeley. I know almost nothing about him. He may have been born March 3, maybe 1890-1893. He and my grandmother Mary Emily (Emma) Hardman married in 1910-1911. She was born in Letcher, SD August 1893 of Daniel David Hardman and Sarah Ann Martin. They also lived in Mitchel, SD. My mother, Irene Mae Neeley Hauser was born in Martin, TN June 5, 1911. The records were lost in a fire at the Martin, TN courthouse. I'm not sure how or why they moved to TN, but they eventually moved to CA. Mom and I both grew up in Alhambra, CA.
