Early years

Sauter was born on May 4, 1848 in Mulhouse in Alsace, France, to French parents.[1] There he attended public and private schools, and worked for the Koechlin machine shops from 1863 to 1867.[1] On April 21, 1869, he married Catherine Senn in Mulhouse.

Following the Franco-Prussian War, the Sauters left for America, arriving in Jersey City on April 1, 1872.[1] He worked in Jersey City for the Erie Railways Company until its shops were consumed by fire, and then he moved to Susquehanna, Pennsylvania to work for the same company.[1] He arrived in Roanoke on July 4, 1882, staying for 13 years the foreman of its machine shops.[1] Sauter moved to Lambert's Point where he was dubbed a "master mechanic"[6] and to Norfolk. Sauter spent a short time with his son as foreman in Portsmouth, Ohio before he was taken ill. He died of endocarditis in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the German Hospital on April 16, 1905.[1][7][8]
