JOHN H. FAUBION,  a descendant of one of Lawrence County's pioneer families,
is the youngest of three children--William, Mary J. and John H.--born to the
marriage of Henry and Elizabeth (Lenox) Faubion, who were natives
respectively of Tennessee and South Carolina, immigrating to Lawrence
County, Ind., in 1827, where each passed the remainder of their days.  John
H. was born in Pleasant Run Township December 19, 1832, and in youth secured
such education as the limited means of that early day afforded.  He selected
farming as his vocation through life, and by economy and industry has
secured 236 acres of good land.  October 9, 1856, he was united in wedlock
with Miss Frances A. Thompson, who was born January 14, 1838, a daughter of
Eli and C. A. (Palmer) Thompson, and by her is the father of six children,
named William W., James M., Mary J., Louisa C., Elnora and Florence E.  In
politics Mr. Faubion adheres to the principles of the National Greenback
party, and he and wife belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
