Note: Newspaper article:
"Fire Destroys Two Barns
The two large barns and the ice house on the Philip Faulhaber farm north of town burned to the ground early Monday morning. The cause of the fire is unknown but is thought to have been due to
spontaneous combustion caused by the storage of a a quantity of alfalfa in one of the barns. The fire originated in the barn farthest south and the wind from that direction soon had the other barn in flames. As soon as the second barn caught fire all effort to save either building was abandoned and efforts were concentrated toward saving the house. This building was in flames several times and only prompt work saved it from burning to the ground. A cow shed setting eight feet to the south of the barn in which the fire originated failed to catch fire. All live stock and harness were gotten out of the buildings. The loss, estimated at about $7,500, was partially covered by insurance."

"MANY CHARGES
Made Against Henry Merchantell A Well Known Business Man of Forest In Divorce Papers Filed by His Wife Thursday Morning.

There promises to be quite a sensational divorce case in the next term of court. The case is brought about by Mrs. Merchantell, who sues for divorce from her husband Henry Merchantell, one of Forest's well known business men. The prominence of the parties make it all the more sensational.
In the petition filed Mrs. Merchantell says that they were married at Ada, Ohio, on the 31st of May, 1882. Since then she has been a faithful and obedient wife but during that time he has disregarded his duties as a husband and is guilty of extreme cruelty and gross neglect. His treatment has become unbearable and it is impossible to live with him, that they have been separated since the 28th of February of this year.
The plantiff claims that defendant has been cold and indifferent to her evder since their marriage, and has made her life wretched and beyond endurance. She claims that only last May a few days before she was to undergo an operation for the removal of a cancer, he left for Europe on a pleasure trip and that when he returned he never even as much as enquired the result of the operation nor the condition of her health. Not only this but she was compelled to pay $50 doctor bill and has been required to pay her own physician's bills ever since that time. The defendant, she states further, is a Dowieite and persecuted and harassed her for having a physician. The plantiff further stated in her petition that her life since their marriage has been one of hard labor, and during all that time she has done his household and other labors until her health failed. He even then refused to furnish or pay for help, and she was compelled to pay for her own help out of her private funds. By keeping boarders she was able to pay for the groceries and for other things for the table and house. Through all their married life he refused to furnish her with necessary clothing, and during those eighteen years bought her only one cloth dress, one calico dress and a pair of spectacles. She was compelled to buy all other clothing used by her during those eighteen years from her own personal fund, which was created by the income left her from her first husband.
The petitioner claims that she has paid $200 per annum amounting to $3600 in the eighteen years from her own estate. As a result they together accumulated a large amount of money. This is all in her name. The plaintiff asks that he be compelled to answer all and singular the promises. She prays for a divorce, that she be restored to her maidenname and that he be required to pay reasonable alimony."

Kern Valley Sun (Lake Isabella, CA) - Wednesday, March 5, 2014

Roy was born in a farm house in Walton, Neb. on Feb. 1, 1922. He was the second of five children born to Fred and Sadie Faulhaber. He attended District 24, a one-room schoolhouse through eighth grade, then went to Walton High School, where he ran track, played basketball, and played third base on the baseball team.

After graduation, he married Irene Denman. They had one son, Roy, before moving to Buffalo, NY, where they had two more sons, Gerald and Richard. He worked for Curtis-Wright Corp. from March 1941 to March 1944.

In 1944, he went into the Army Air Corp where he served as a tail gunner on a bomber, and did Air Sea Rescue on the East Coast and in Central and South America. After his discharge, he moved his family to Southern California.

He lived in Hawthorne for many years, where he worked for Air-Flo Aluminum Awning Co. In 1960 he moved to Orange, Calif., and he became part owner of Hasting Awning.

He ended his career working for Associated Concrete. In his retirement, he and Annie moved to Lake Isabella, Calif. and enjoyed traveling in their trailer, 5th wheel, and motorhome. They traveled many places, from Mexico's Copper Canyon, to the Alaska Hwy., and they even went to NY's World's Fair. Roy and Ann visited every state but Hawaii, and if there was a road that went there, they would have probably traveled there too.

She has been neither absent nor tardyin a dozen years, eight of them in District No. 24 and four in the Walton high school."

Notice from newspaper:
"Proves a girl can take over farming work
So you don't think a girl can do farm labor work? Well, Virginia Faulhaber, 17, is a girl who does the work of a hired man.
Now a high school graduate, Virginia was born and raised onher father's 180 acre farm near Bennet. She milks cows, grinds chicken feed, runs a tractor, drives a team of horses, raises chickens, shucks corn and does all the other farm jobs of a hired hand.
Virginia thinks anyone who wants to work on a farm can do the work. However, a city girl shouldn't try to do it unless she has some farm experience. It is important, Virginia feels, that the farmer take time to tell his new helper how to do things.
Virginia, who has always liked the farm, took over the job as top helper when her two older brothers went to work in war factories. She says farming is a lot of fun and she would not live in the city for anything. When something happens to the tractor Virginia drives the team of horses.
A member of the 4-H club for two years, she took sewing, but she didn't find out about the livestock group until later. Out of the farm's 1000 chickens, Virginia has about 37 of her own."

     Walter Ludwig Faulhaber was also known as Walter Louis as an adult in America.
Note: The following was taken from the book by the Chapman Bros. of Chicago, "Portraits and Bigraphical Album of Lancaster County, Nebraska." Printed in 1888.

"LOUIS FAULHABER, one of the most thrifty German farmers of Stockton precinct, owns and occupies a fine estate, embracing 320 acres of land on sections 3 and 4, his residence being on the latter. The homestead is noticeable for its good improvements, and especially the large number of fruit and ornamental trees, which he has planted to the extent of about 700, besides a large quantity of grapes. Like most of the enterprising men about him, he makes a specialty of stock-raising, and has acquired a fine property, besides surrounding himself and family with all the comforts of life.

"The first years of our subject were passed on the other side of the Atlantic, in the little Kingdom of Bavaria, where his birth took place November 18, 1826. When a child five years of age his parents emigrated to America and settled in Seneca County, Ohio, where they spent the remainder of their lives. Louis remained on the farm until a youth of fourteen years, and was then apprenticed to learn the shoemaker's trade, which he followed for a period of nine years. In the meantime he had been married, and in June, 1850, turned his face toward the farther West, and crossing the Mississippi, accompanied by his wife, took up a tract of land in Manitowoc, Wisc., where he lived until the spring of 1875. His next removal was to this county, when he took up the land which he still occupies.

"The wife of our subject, to whom he was married in Tiffin, Seneca Co., Ohio, March 1, 1848, was in her girlhood Miss Helen Sauter, a native of the same country as her husband, and born April 1, 1830 She was a little child three years of age when she came to America with her parents, and they settled first in Tiffin, Ohio. Later they removed to Wood County, that State, where the father died about 1856. The mother still survives, and is living at Perrysburg, Wood Co., Ohio.

"Of the thirteen children born to Mr. and Mrs. Faulhaber, the record is as follows: Their eldest son, John, died when one and one-half years old, in 1849; Louis is on the police force of the city of Lincoln; William is farming in Stockton precinct, this county; Mary is the wife of John Lemke, and lives in Stockton Precinct; John is traveling salesman for a firm in Milwaukee; Theodore is farming in Brown County, this State; Charles and Henry are residents of Cherry County; Phillip, the youngest, is engaged in farming for himself in Stockton precinct; Frederick and Emma are at home with their parents, and Clara is the wife of Frederick Retzlaff, of Stevens Creek Precinct.

"Mr. Faulhaber, politically, is a conscientious Democrat, and a man who keeps himself well posted upon matters of general interest. He was particularly fortunate in his choice of a wife and helpmate, having a lady who looks well to the ways of her household and those little matters which have so great an influence in the happiness of a home. They have labored industriously in acquiring their fine property, and are now in the enjoyment of the fruits of their early toils, while surrounded by hosts of friends who have learned to value them at their true worth. They were reared in the precepts of the German Lutheran Church, to which they still loyally adhere, together with their children."

The following was contributed by Mrs. Emma Maahs and told to Junerose Kayser in the spring of 1959, after Junerose had started the research on the Faulhaber family tree several years before:

"We left Reedsville, Wisconsin in March, 1873 for Lincoln, Nebraska. The day we left Reedsville it was very cold. The roads were blocked with snow, the neighbors had to shovel the snow for a road. From our home near Reedsville, we went by sled to Grimm Station where we boarded a train to Manitowoc. There we had a short visit with mother's sister, Aunt Christina. Then on to Chicago, arriving in the early evening. Then we left Chicago around midnight. We spent the following night in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. Albert was just a baby and we all took turns holding him and entertaining him on the trip. Early the next morning we boarded another train for Lincoln, arriving shortly before noon. There we were met by cousins, Mr. & Mrs. George Weber, who helped father find a home to live in until we could locate a farm. Father and my brothers Lewis and William, with agents, went to locate a farm near Steven's Creek Precinct. After about two weeks father moved us out to the new farm. We enjoyed the trip of about ten miles very much. We rode in a spring wagon. The weather was mild and we saw many wild ducks on small ponds and many prairie chickens and rabbits on our way to our new home.

"In fact, we had two houses on our new farm. They were small, so my brothers slept in one and my father and mother and we girls slept in the other one. A number of families came to Nebraska from Wisconsin after we settled. The Grimmes, Stebers, Luthers, Manleys, and some others that I have forgotten. All lived with us until they could locate a farm and build a home."
