OBITUARY
FAUSS  - Karl Fauss passed away at his home in this village, Wednesday
morning, Nov. 15, at 8 o’clock after a long illness, aged 79 years, 1 month
and 29 days.
  Deceased was born Sept. 10, 1832 in Liebsthal, near Kösel, in Rhenish
Bavaria. He came to this country when a young man, and worked in New York
City and Cincinnati. In 1859 he was married at the latter place to Anna
Maria Krauss, who preceded in to the Great Beyond about six weeks ago. He
came to Minnesota in 1861 and settled on a farm in West Arlington, where he
resided until the children grew up, when he and his wife moved to town.
  He was afflicted with asthma, and had been confined to his home for a
number of years past, and Death therefore comes to him as a relief.  Since
Monday it was noticeable that he could not survive much longer, and he
passed away in his chair as stated above.
  He was the father of seven children, five sons and two daughters. Two of
the sons died in infancy, and the daughters, one married to Chas. Henschke
and the other to George Asal, both died some years ago.  The surviving sons
are Walter, of Loyal, Wis.; Henry, of Craven, S.D.; and Charles, of Buffalo
Lake.  The latter remained here with him since Mrs. Fauss died.  His
son-in-law, George Asal, who has also passed away, left a daughter, Pearl
Asal, who was brought up by her grand parents, and is left to mourn their
departure.
  The funeral will take place next Saturday, at 1 P.M., and burial will be
in the Public cemetery east of town.
  In the death of Mr. Fauss, Arlington loses one of its oldest settlers, as
well as an upright gentleman and estimable citizen.  For a half century he
has resided here and was consequently well known to every resident.  He was
of a retiring disposition and did not take much of a part in the active
affairs of life, in his later years, evidently thinking it best to leave
them to younger and more active men, but he was a good man, nevertheless. 
He always had a smile and a pleasant word for every body he knew, and in
his own, quiet way, did much to make life pleasant.  He was also a good,
faithful Christian, and he was a devoted husband and a kind father, an
excellent neighbor and a staunch friend.
