Grace Horner, 1877 – 1960

Grace Fausold had child out of wedlock to Carl Snively, named Albert Carl Snively. (Snively was a local teacher who boarded with the Fausolds.) Carl was born in the middle of night and Grace then went to Michigan to teach school for a couple of years. She then married Albert Daniels, and had children, Delores and Grant Frederick Daniels. Mr. Daniels was killed in a coal mine accident. Grace then married Timothy Horner.

Ada Fausold

Ada Fausold was named for her mother, Ada Hays. She was a fine public school teacher in Latrobe and Pittsburgh, Pa. (The Treasurer of the Presbyterian House, Chautauqua Institute, N. Y., said in 1999 that as his 6th grade teacher in the early 1900s Ada Fausold turned his life around.) Over a long life Ada was always very close to her brothers, Charles and Samuel. She spent her latter years in the Lutheran Home in Zelinople, Pa.

Young Samuel Fausold, strong farm worker and student. As a young student of the Bible he often spoke, as when he said, "Two thousand years ago Roman soldiers crucified young Jesus." His brother, Charles, late in life reported that when youngster Sam spoke, "people listened." Sadly, Sam reported that his father shook hands with him only once in his lifetime. Sam’s father was rigid and frequently critical. Only once did Sam explain, upon being criticized, he had done exactly what his father told him to do. "Father merely walked away," said Sam.

College graduate Sam and the women in the family.

This surely has a "classic" appearance – a fine picture of the three Fausold family women, the elderly Ada and young Ada and Grace. Probably taken in 1910 at time of Sam’s graduation from Gettysburg College.
