ROBERT W. FAUBLE is
numbered among the progressive farmers and stock-growers of
Fulton Township, where he has passed his entire life, a
scion of stanch pioneer stock. He was born in the same
neighborhood in which he now resides, on the 9th of October,
1849, and is a son of Isaac and Rachel A. (Watkins)
Fauble, both of whom were born in Wayne county, Ohio,
the former in 1815 and the latter in 1818. Isaac
Fauble was a son of Michael Fauble, who was born
in Germany and who was the founder of the family in America
having been one of the pioneers of Wayne County, Ohio, where
both he and his wife died. Isaac Fauble came
with his wife to Fulton county in an early day, securing
wild land in Fulton township and developing a good farm,
upon which he died when fifty-eight years of age, his wife
attaining the age of sixty-eight years. He was an
energetic, aggressive and industrious man, inflexible in his
integrity and straight forward in all his dealings.
Though he died in middle life he had so well directed his
efforts that he left his family in comfortable
circumstances. He and his wife continued resident of
Fulton county until death, save for an interim of about two
yeas, passed in Indiana. They became the parents of
six children, of whom the eldest died in infancy.
Jane is the wife of Jacob Garman, a farmer of
Clinton township; Robert W. was the next in order of
birth; James E. is a farmer of Swan Creek township;
Sarah L., widow of George W. Fraker, is
individually mentioned elsewhere in this work; and Rachel
A. is the wife of Andrew J. Fraker, of whom
specific mention is made on another page. Robert
W. Fauble was reared to the study work of the home farm
and his educational advantages in youth were those afforded
by the local schools. His entire life has been devoted
to agricultural pursuits and upon the death of his parents
he inherited a portion of the old homestead. He and
his wife are now joint owners of a well-improved farm of
fifty-eight acres, and the same is maintained under
effective and profitable cultivation, and the land being
specially productive, and he also devotes no little
attention to the raising of live-stock of good grades.
He met with some financial reverses during the period of
general business depression in the early '90's, but the
favorable conditions following the natural reaction in
industrial affairs enabled Mr. Fauble to recoup
his losses, thus restoring him to independent circumstances.
In politics Mr. Fauble is a stanch advocate of the
principles of the Republican party, and he has served in
minor local offices of public trust, and fraternally he is
identified with the lodge of Knights of Pythias at Delta.
Mar. 30, 1876, Mr. Fauble was married to Miss
Clara J. Manley, who was born in Fulton township, this
county, being a daughter of Whitfield Manley,
an honored pioneer. Mr. and Mrs. Fauble have
seven children, all of whom are living. Nellie and
Ella (twins) were born Jan. 11, 1877, the former being
now the wife of William J. Fleming, and the latter
being the wife of Archibald B. Putnam, both of this
county; Roy, who was born June 23, 1879, is employed
in the city of Toledo; Edward, born Feb. 2, 1881;
Clarence, born July 13, 1887; Ralph, born Mar.
30, 1889; and Florence, born Jan. 13, 1892, all
remain at the parental home.
