Johann Georg Bauer was born on May 4, 1870, in Norka, Russia. His parents were Heinrich Peter Bauer, born 1833 in Norka, and Elisabeth Jost (Yost), born 1832 in Norka.
Johann Georg (George) arrived in the United States about 1891 and married Christina Jost the same year. In 1900, they lived at 334 Beech Street, next door to his brother John Bauer, and George was working as a teamster.
George and Christina had five children together. The youngest child, George Jr., was born about 1905. Christina died after George Jr.'s birth, and George married Margaretha Jost (born about 1887). George and Margaretha (Margaret or Maggie) had at least three children: Marion, Reuben, and John.
