JACOB FAUST
PASSES AWAY

Jacob Faust, we'll known resident
of Barnes county died at his home in
this city at 1905 a. M, May 10th,
from pneumonia. The deceased was
one of our leading Swedish-American
citizens and in his career has shown
the characteristic thrift and enter
prise of his race. Beginning with no
capital except that acquired by his
own industry he has become the own
er of a fine 1920 acre farm in Hobart
township. He was one of the most
prosperous citizens of this community.
Mr.. Faust was born October 10, 1874,
on what was known as the Ansorba
farm near Falkenburg, Sweden. He
is a son of Tora and Enger Anderson
Faust, natives of Sweden. His father
was a farmer and carpenter and died
in Sweden in 1858. The mother sur
vived him for many years and came
| to America to spend her declining
years with her children. She died in
Barnes county in 1888. Mr.. Faust at
tended school in his native land until
he was ID years old, also worked his
fathers farm in his boyhood years
In 1871 he decided to try his fortunes
in the new world and came to this
country in that year. He first locat.
ed in Warren, Pa, in 1880. He came
to Barnes county in 1883. Mr.. Faust
has five brothers, Charles j., Aaron
John, Otto and Peter, all living ir
Barnes county. All farmers except
Charles. During his residence in

POPULAR PASTOR
IS RECOGNIZED

That Rev. J. F. L. Bohnhoff is pop
ular with his people was testified to
in a substantial manner Saturday
when in behalf of the trustees and
congregation of the German Luth-
sran church, Mr.. Fred Bartz present.
ed MIR. Bohnhoff with a very hand
ZONE and we'll appointed Ford coupe,
equipped with electric lights, starter,
&c. Mr.. Bohnhoff was naturally tax
en- short of breath about the time he
realized what had happened, and re-
covering his usual happy demeanor
he feeingly thanked the good friends
for their evidence of love and esteem.
The popular pastor has been with his
congregation % years on the 31st day
of May and in the presentation the
wish was expressed that he would be
with them % years more, and the
Times Record editor is going to add
q little to that by making it 1913. 1t
was a fine gift, given from the heart
6y the people who appreciate good
service and warm, personal friendship.
The old car which has done such good
service is too cumbersome and too ex-
pensive to operate compared with this
Rite coupe which is just the thing for
all weather and the pastors work in
carrying out his services among the
various congregations he serves. That
he appreciates the gift he says for
rs to say that words fail him some
times-but he thanks all of his friends
from the bottom of his heart.

WRITES LETTER

The following letter is from men,
Der of Company G and will no doubt !
interest the readers of the Times
Record:
Easter Sunday.
Geo. E. Cartwright, New Salem, N. D.
Dear Dad-Am just back from the
front for rest so have little time
Of my own just now. My baptism of
fire consisted Of carrying a message
through an artillery barrage. Some
interesting and exciting experience
that. Our boys take all Of Fritz's
,strafiing in matter of course man
ner and then redouble their efforts.
A prisoner the other day when he was
asked what he thinks of the Ameri-
cans said: "Your infantry are always
drunk; they shoot too much, your ar
tillery is crazy, they shoot all the
time. Each sunny day we see the
Boche planes driven back by our anti
air craft guns, and other sights which
people in the states would pay many
dollars to witness. Each dark night
is accompanied by great fire works
exhibition as numerous flares are
thrown up to illuminate no mans
land. Also there is music of the guns,
all the way from the deep boom Of the
large calibre gun to the sharp crack
Of the rifle. One of the most won
derful sights in the world takes place
when an artillery barrage is put over
at night time. The back ground is lit
up as far as the eye can see and the
noise is tremendous. When it begins
at some other place on the line it
sounds like fast approaching thun-
derstorm and almost overwhelms one
when it reaches your sector. A few
nights ago Fritz attempted to call on
us but was driven back. This so an
gered him that he threw everything
he had in his ammunition dump at us,
so far have not heard of many cas-
ualties and he certainly hasn't fright
ened US. BY the way, enjoyed
turkey dinner again today and have
had pie and coffee for midnight lunch.
So his submarines are rapidly loosing
their power to damage our transpor-
tation service. I received two pack
ages and some mail from home so far
and hope my mail will stop roaming
and come in to its owner. Let me have
the addresses of any of the boys who
are over here as I might be able to
look them up. Keep the ball rolling
in the states as we are doing here

demise of Mr.. Jacob Faust yesterday
and giving his history we made one or
two errors. He located in Warren,
Pa, in 1873 instead of 1880 as given.
