Marie Ida Schause was born in Mequon, Wisconsin, July 11, 1873. She came with her parents to Dorchester in 1893 and was married at Dorchester, June 21, 1896, to Albert Nixdorf. The first three years of their married life were lived at Ashland and then they came to a farm, one-half mile south of Dorchester corners.

After Mr. Nixdorf’s death, in 1936, Mrs. Nixdorf moved to the village of Dorchester, Wis.
