HAUSER, Samuel Thomas, seventh territorial governor of Montana(1885-87), was born at Falmouth, Pendleton co., Ky.Oct. 10, 1833, son of Samuel Thomas and Mary Ann (Kerrnett) Hauser. He was educated at schools in his native state. He removed to Missouriin 1854, and was engaged as a civil engineer on the Missouri Pacific railway and Northern Pacific railway. In 1862 he went up the Missouri riverto FortBenton, and prospected the upper Columbiawaters, returning to Bannack mines In the fall. In the following year he explored the Lewis and Clarke route down the Yellowstone. In connection with N. P. Langford, in 1865, Mr. Hauser opened a bank in Virginia City, Mont., and also in that year erected the first furnaces that were operated in the territory. In 1866 he organized the first National Bank of Helena and the St. Louis Mining Co., now known as the Hope Mining Co., at Phillipsburg. He built the first silver mill in Montana, and organized the first national banks of Missoula, Butteand Benton. He constructed the branches of the Northern Pacific in Montana, now known as the Northern Pacific and Montanarailroads. He also organized the Helena and Livingston Smelting and Reduction Co., and is its president. He is actively interested in stocks and mining and various other enterprises. His name has been identified with the development of the state during the past twenty-five years, and much of its present prosperity is due to Gov. Hauser's energy, push and enterprise. During the pioneer days of Montanahe had many thrilling experiences and narrow escapes, when the outlaw element terrorized the state. This condition of affairs led to the organization of a vigilance committee (1863-64), of which he was a prominent member, and he took an active part in seeing that justice was meted to the outlaws. He was a Democrat, and has always been actively interested in politics. In 1885 Pres. Clevelandappointed him governor of Montana, in which capacity he served for two years. Since retiring from office he has devoted himself to the management of his extensive business, spending much of his time in New York city. He was married, in 1871, to Ellen P., daughter of Dr. Bernard Farrar, of St. Louis, Mo., and has one son.Source: Montana, its story and biography : a history of aboriginal and territorial Montana and three decades of statehood, by E Munson, author.
