Remy Hausermann,

Remy Hausermann, Born in Paris in 1843 (page 421), was the son of a Swiss tailor Jacob Haüsermann (page 41) , born around 1816 to Egliswil Jacob H. seems to have settled in Paris, as he married an Alsatian seamstress, born in 1817: Hermann Rose (page 41) (daughter of a tile DauendorfThe marriage was only dated 18 February 1857 and 2 of the 3 children born in 1843 (Rémy) and 1847 (Albert-Joseph) were legitimized by the marriage.

Rémy Hausermann married in 1866 in Paris Marie Suter (page 43) (daughter of a Swiss ebètrist in Paris too) 5 children (page 43). artist engraver on stone, publisher and geographer (page 423) à Paris (page 422) . Of reformed religion, very intransigent, he did not attend his son's marriage Eugene (page 49), Yves' grandfather, with a Catholic: Marguerite George (page 49) who demanded that the children of the future be Catholics. I knew each other well.Many of Eugene's brothers and sisters have also been married to Catholics.

Remy Hausermann was a Geographer engraver (see page 423) based in Paris.

Yves' mother, Simone Hausermann (page 39)Remy was a writer of the work of the church, and he remembered Rémy Hausermann's engraving workshop, where he worked, leaning on large slabs of stone to be engraved, with information from all over the world, and often from Catholic missionaries. They addressed him rosaries, in an attempt, in vain, to convert him. Rémy showed them to his little daughter Simone, and sometimes gave him some. He was kept (in Vierville) a book of geography whose maps were engraved by Rémy Hausermann.

He also had a passion for gardening: he was growing vegetables on a Lagny land, where he spent his Sundays.
At his retirement in 1910, he left the engraving shop to his nephew Albert and went to the castle of Vierville which his son Eugene had bought during his stay in Argentina. He filled the vegetable garden, but in May 1912, Eugene Hausermann (page 49) returned to France and started to install and furnish the castle.
 
The father and son did not get along. Eugene preferred flowers to vegetables and Rémy did not want to be close to his beautiful Catholic daughter. 

Remy went to live with her daughter Martha Feuilrebois, married to a math teacher, she had very primary "anti-papist" convictions. He lived in this way near Nantes (in Vertou, circa 1921), made a prolonged stay in Morocco at her son Emile, and finished his life (page 424) near Orléans where the Feuilles were installed in 1933.
