HENRY L. FAUST

Henry L. Faust, a leading business man of Rosby's Rock, was  born in 
Belmont county, Ohio, August 13, 1843, the son of Joseph and Margaret 
(Snyder) Faust, both natives of Germany.  The father, a stone mason 
by trade, built some of the oldest walls in Wheeling, and is still 
living at St. Joseph, named in his honor, enjoying retired life.  His 
wife died October 5, 1888, aged sixty-eight years.  Nine children 
were born to them:  Frederick; Henry L.; Maria, deceased; Elizabeth, 
wife of John Fallstick; Joseph; Rose, wife of Theodore Koltz; 
Catherine F., deceased; Maggie, wife of F. Koltz; John.  Henry L., at 
the age of nineteen years, went to learn the boot and shoe trade, at 
which he was engaged two years.  He then was a team driver in the 
Union army one year, and then, after working another year as an 
apprentice, he opened a shop at St. Joseph, where he remained 
seventeen years.  He then spent one year at Graysville, and came 
thence to Rosby's Rock, which has been his home for thirteen years.  
He is esteemed as one of the worthy, responsible and influential men 
of the district.  In 1866 he was married to Barbara Klug, who died in 
1875, in the faith of the Catholic church.  On January 25, 1877, he 
was married to Catherine Shutler, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth 
Shutler.  The latter have eight children:  Joseph, Mary, Bettie, 
Catherine, John, George, Henry and Andy.  Mr. Faust and wife are 
members of the Catholic church, of which Mr. Faust's parents were 
members, belonging to the Cathedral congregation.  Mrs. Faust's 
parents are the owners of nearly 1,000 acres of land.
