Jacob E. Bausch, a member of the Board of Coroners, Borough of Manhattan, was born at No. 63 Lewis street, this city, on the 5th of October, 1867. He attended Public School No. 22 at Stanton and Sheriff streets, until at the age of thirteen he became engaged with a publishing house. He subsequently began an apprenticeship in a wood-carving shop where he learned his trade. Immediately upon becoming a journeyman he applied for admission into the Union of that trade and took an active part in its affairs. In 1887 he was elected Secretary of the Union and two years later was elected its business agent. He held this position until 1896 when the Democratic party offered him the nomination for Coroner. He was for years the secretary of the New York Central Labor Union and was one of the most prominent advocates of labor known in this vicinity. In almost all gigantic strikes where arbitration was agreed upon, the name of Coroner Bausch will be found as having been one of the gentlemen selected to adjust the differences. His greatest achievement that brought him before the public was his agitation against imported decorations, which were being brought here, causing idleness at home. He fearlessly advocated home products and succeeded in keeping many contracts for work in the city. When the returns were complete alter the election of 1896 it was seen that he was defeated by about 5,600 votes, although he led his ticket and received 8,000 votes more than did the Presidential candidate. His vote in that campaign was 137,000. In 1897 Tammany Hall once again submitted his name to the nominating convention, and with his running mates was triumphantly elected for a term of four years.
