A. M. FAUSER
Arthur Merle Fauser was born March 16, 1891 on the farm home northeast of Fayette, Iowa, the son of Adolph Martin and Ida Belle Clark Fauser. He died at his home in Oelwein Dec. 11, 1958, at the age of 67 years, eight months and 25 days. As a boy, he attended school at Albany, town. On April 10, 1912 he was united in marriage to Hazel Adell Ware at Fayette, and to them nine children were born, all of which survive. They are Ernest of Waterloo, Max of Waterloo, Arthur II of Ashton, Ill., Grover of Waterloo, Duane of Oelwein, Marjorie, now Mrs. Oscar Simpson of Lamont, Arlene, now Mrs. Kendall Robinson of Oelwein, Jean, now Mrs. Merle Smith, of Oelwein, and Pat, now Mrs. Virgil McClain of Oelwein. The Fauser’s have lived in this area all of their life. Mr. Fauser worked for a short time with the Chicago Great Western railroad then went to a farm northeast of Oelwein, where he farmed for 13 years. He then farmed near the West Union area for a time, and in 1944 he purchased a farm near Westgate. It was here the family lived when ill health forced him to retire. They have made their home on South Frederick Ave. for the past three years. Mr. Fauser had not been in vigorous health for some time, but was taken with a heart attack this fall. After spending several weeks in bed at both his home and the hospital, he returned home again just one week before his death. He is survived by his wife, his five sons and four daughters, by a brother, Peter, of Fayette, and a half brother, Charles Hamrick of Battleground, Washington. There are 30 grandchildren and two great-grand children. Services were held at the Brant funeral chapel Sunday, Dec. 14, 1958 with Dr. M. B. Green of Grace Methodist church officiating. Burial was made at Floral Hills Memorial Gardens.
