General Notes: Husband - Samuel Fausold

---

He received his education in the local public schools. He then entered the Latrobe High School, from which he graduated at the head of his class, June 7, 1906, and in the autumn of that year entered Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg, from which he graduated June 15, 1910, being an honor pupil in a class of fifty. During his college course he was editor of the local college paper, the "Mercury;" was active in debate and literary work; was president of his class in its senior year; and was a member of the Theta Phi fraternity. Upon leaving college he took up the profession of teaching and received the appointment of principal of the High School of East Huntingdon township, located at Alverton, Pennsylvania. He continued to hold this position for four years until he was elected principal of the Irwin schools early in the year 1914. In that year and in 1915 he was principal of the Irwin schools, and the following year he was elected principal of the Norwin High School for a period which closed with the term of 1918-19. Norwin High School was a union school of Irwin Borough and North Huntingdon township. This high school of four hundred pupils, under the aggressive leadership of Professor Fausold, attracted wide attention because of its efficiency and public spirit. The school was completely vocational and most modern in its equipment. Professor Fausold was well known in his profession as a tireless worker, an eloquent speaker, and an efficient organizer.
Professor Fausold was president of the Westmoreland County Teachers' Association. In 1918 he was a candidate for county superintendent against Robert C. Shaw, who had held that office for a period of thirteen years. Although defeated in this contest, Mr. Fausold made a host of friends in his canvas and was enthusiastically supported by those who knew him best. On July 13, 1917, Mr. Fausold received an appointment by Governor Brumbaugh as a member of the local draft exemption board for District No. 2 of Westmoreland County. He served as chairman of this board at its inception, but later handed his resignation to the governor on account of himself being within the draft age.
In politics Mr. Fausold was an independent Democrat and a consistent voter. In religious belief he was a Lutheran, being confirmed as a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Mt. Pleasant township, April 23, 1905. Later he became a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Irwin. Mr. Fausold was the teacher of the Teachers' Training Class of the Sunday school of this congregation.
