LEWIS P. B. FAUST, Wilmington, Del., son of Henry and Margaret W. (Cooper) Faust, was born in Wilmington, January 27, 1852.

The earliest of his ancestors of whom there is a record is his great-great-grandfather on the maternal side, Christopher Carr by name. He was of English parentage, was born in Whitpain township, Montgomery county, Pa., in 1741, and always made his home there. He was a paper manufacturer and fol- lowed that business for many years. When the thirteen colonies entered an armed pro- test against English tyranny, he joined their army and fought throughout the war. He became a member of the Baptist church after he had passed his hundredth year, and on the occasion of his profession of faith, an occur- rence was witnessed that is probably unpar- alleled. He was taken to the Wissahiekon creek, and there baptized according to the forms of the church whose doctrines he had accepted, after more than a century of time had whitened his locks and enfeebled his
