Name of Deceased: FAULSTICH (CONRAD), Helena
Name of Newspaper: Staunton Star-Times
Date of Obituary: Fri. Oct. 13, 1911 
Obituary: Mrs. Helena FAULSTICH, nee CONRAD, was born in Kesselbach,
Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany December 31, 1839. She was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Peter CONRAD, respected residents of that place. Mrs.
FAULSTICH was raised in her native town and finally was confirmed 
in the town of Londorf. In the year of 1861 she was married to John
FAULSTICH and in 1868 she and Mr. FAULSTICH emigrated to the United
States, along with the three eldest children. Immediately after landing, she
with her husband settled in Staunton which place has been her home ever
since. During her long stay in Staunton, Mrs. FAULSTICH has made many
friends and in her death they mourn a friend whose place will be hard to fill.
Being of a kindly and yet retiring disposition, it may well be said, "None knew
her but to love her." Eight of the ten children born to the union survive her as
living example of her integrity and fill their position in life as a credit to their
mother, whose guiding hand has done much to make them men and women
strong in the world of business and character. Her death occurred at her home
about 5:20 p.m. on Friday, October 6, 1911 and at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon,
the last funeral rites were pronounced and she was laid to rest in the city cemetery,
Rev. J.G.F. Kleinhans performing the last sad rites. She leaves to mourn her loss
her husband, John FAULSTICH, eight children, Rev. Wm. FAULSTICH of
Whittemore, IA, Mrs. Rev. M. LEIMER of Beemer, Neb., Louis, Henry, George,
Charles, Mrs. Charles KRUSE of this place and Mrs. August KEISLING of St.
Louis; a sister, Mrs. Christ FISCHER and a brother, William CONRAD of St. Louis.
