| History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 1021 |
- Nicholas Faust, who is one of the old insurance men of Outagamie County Wisconsin, having been continuously identified with this line since 186 5, is perhaps, as well known as any other citizen in this section, in which his standing as to business integrity has never been questioned. He w as born in Germany, Jan 3, 1841, and is a son of Johann S. and Maria (Reinertz) Faust. The family came to the Unites States in 1846 and settled in what was then a wild section of the county, although 6 miles from Milwaukee. the father cleared the land and developed a farm on which he labored until 1854, when he removed his family to Fond du Lac County, where he lived until 1856, when he sold and moved to another wild section, locating in Harrison township, Calumet County. That land he also cleared and then sold and retired to Menasha, where he died at the age of 54 year s. the mother of Mr. Faust died in Outagamie County. They had the following children born to them: Nicholas: two babes who died in infancy: John, w ho was killed while serving as a soldier in the Civil War; Annie, who is t he wife of Joseph Renn, residing in Outagamie county; Mary, who is the wife of M. Renn, residing at Appleton; Katherina, who is the wife of G. How e, residing at Portland, Or.; Anton, who died in California; and Louis w ho died at Menasha, WI. Nicholas Faust had but limited educational opportunities and afterward, as the eldest son, had many responsibilities in connection with clearing up the wild farms with his father. In 1864 he enlisted for service in the Civil War, entering Company F, second Wisconsin Cavalry, and was honorably discharged June 22, 1865 at Memphis Tenn. He participated in many sharp engagements and in the one at Egypt Station received a wound in the side and also, at one time, had his horse shot from under him. After his military service was over and he had returned home he spent a short time on the farm and at Menasha and then entered the insurance business, one in which he had met with much success. He was first located in Calumet County, removing to Kaukauna in 1890, in June 1908, organizing the Fox River Health and Accident Co., of which he is president, August Heinz being treasurer and Charles J Faust being secretary. he represents all the leading lines of life and fire insurance, doing general insurance business and having important connections. On December 26, 1863, Mr. Faust was married to Miss Mary K. Furstenberg, who was born in Saxony, Germany and came to the United States with her parents in 1855. Ten children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Faust, namely: Joseph J. who is in the well excavating business at Kaukauna; Louis S. who lives at Sheboygan; Henry L. w ho lives at Oshkosh; Charles J. who is with his father; Matt G. who lives in this city; Katie, who is the wife of Joseph J. Berendson, of Green B ay; Edward and Tony, both of whom are deceased, and two babies who died at birth. Mr. Faust and family are members of the Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church. In politics he is a Republican, and on numerous occasions he has been elected to public office, serving as county assessor and treasurer of Kaukauna and formerly was supervisor in Calumet count y. He is a member of the G.A.R.
