Philip Faber
Philip
Faber was born July 16th, 1816 in Schilersdorf, Alsace, France. Philip
immigrated to America in 1832 with his mother Christina and four sisters. Christina Faber’s headstone, located in
pioneer cemetery, McZena, Ohio, indicates she was married to John G. Faber. At this time we can assume John G. Faber was father
Philip, however we do not currently have additional details on John, or why he
may not have made the trip to America, or know if he was living at that time.
On September 15 1840 Philip Faber married
Sarah (Saloma) Spring, also born in France.
The pair had a total of eleven children.
The family lived in Lake Township, Ashland Ohio and operated a family
farm.
Philip died on January 8th,
1884 he was aged 67 years, 5 months, 22 days.
Sarah and Philip are buried in Pioneer Cemetery in McZena, Ohio.
