Charles A. Mauzy, a well known merchant at Rushville, the head of a long established business house that has been noted for its progressiveness and fair dealing for over fifty years, and vice-president of the Peoples National Bank and the Peoples Trust Company of Rushville, is a representative of one of the oldest families in the country. He is descended from Henry Mauzy, the founder of the family in this country, who was a Huguenot forced to flee from France to escape persecution shortly after the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685. Henry Mauzy first went to England, where he married the daughter of Doctor Conyer, and then came to Virginia. Through several successive generations, during which the Mauzy family spread to the four quarters of the land, the line is traced to Charles A. Mauzy, as follows: Henry, John, Henry, William, Peter, Abram Gooding, and Charles A.  Abram Gooding Mauzy, the father of Charles A. Mauzy, was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, in February, 1825. His early life was one of many hardships, having been left to fight life’s battles alone. He was a marvel of industry all through his life, and in his few moments of rest he would read, and soon commenced to teach school.  By hard work and pluck he saved enough money to go into the dry goods business in Spartansburg with R. M. Pomeroy, who in after years became president of the Union Pacific Railroad. Abram G Mauzy married Emily R. Jameson in New Paris, Ohio, November 3, 1847, and in the early‘50s moved to Rushville, where he continued in the dry goods business and grain business until his two sons, Wesley J., and Charles A Mauzy succeeded him. His first enterprise in Rushville was a member of the firm of Hibben & Mauzy,and this name continued until 1865, when Mr. Mauzy bought out his partner and carried on the affairs of his store until 1883, when he retired. To him and his wife were born five children: Mary, widow of Edwin Payne, of Rushville; Charles A., Mrs. Sarah Mowers, of Rushville; Kate, wife of T.. H. Parry, of Indianapolis, and Wesley J., who died in 1890. The mother of these children died in 1873. In 1874 Mr. Mauzy married Mrs. Lyda (Hibben) Jones. Mr Mauzy died in 1905, and his widow in 1906. Charles A. Mauzy received his early education in the public schools of Rushville, and then attended Butler College at Irvington, Ind. In 1872, after leaving college, he returned to Rushville and engaged in the mercantile business with his father until the elder gentleman’s retirement, when he, in company with his brother, Wesley J. undertook the management of the business. The firm was then known as the Mauzy Company for a number of years, and then as Mauzy & Denning until 1910, since which time it has gone under the name of the Mauzy Campany, which includes Charles A Mauzy and his sons, Hugh E. Mauzy and Henry Louis Mauzy. The business is housed in a fine building on the corner of Main and Third streets in Rushville, and does the most extensive business of its kind in the county, keeping fully abreast of the trend of fashion and modern ideas. Charles A. Mauzy married Lillie M Carr, a daughter of Houston Carr, and to their union three children have been born: Hugh E., Henry Louis, and Mary Louise. Hugh E. Mauzy, who is in business with his father, married Anna Ross and has two children, Judith and Janet. Henry Louis Mauzy, also a member of the Mauzy Company, married Gladys Henley and has two children, David Henley and Robert Jameson. Mary Louise Mauzy married George H DeHority, of Elmwood, Ind., and has two children, Charles Mauzy and George H.,Jr. Charles A. Mauzy is a member of various fraternal organizations, is a Republican in his political views, and in his religious beliefs adheres to the tenants of the Christian church, of which he at one time was a deacon.
