.
Date of arrival is six days later than the date August 7, 1857 indicated on the passenger list of the Von Stein. Departure port of Bremen and arrival port of New York match the Von Stein ports. Age shown is consistent with the age of Fred Fausch, father of Ida Fausch
 
August Fausch (1)
Date of arrival is 17 days later than the July 15, 1861 date shown on the passenger list for the Clara which sailed from Bremen and arrived in New York with an August Fausch, age 33.  Age in declaration matches the age of the August who was passenger on the Clara as well as aproximates the age of the August who was the brother of Fred Fausch.
 
John Fausch
Age is NOT consistent with the age of John Fausch in the 1860 census of 34.  Passage date is NOT close to the August 17, 1858 arrival in New York from Bremen of the ship Ottilie which contained a family of John Fausch, his wife Caroline, daughter Augusta and son infant son August.  However, this may still be the John Fausch of the famiy mentioned above, and he may have traveled back to return with his family later.  Such a scenario may have led to their mistatements on a few census entries claiming their son August was born in the US.
 
August Fausch (2)
Arrival date in New York from Bremen is two days earlier than the date listed on the passenger list for the ship Ottilie which contained a family of John Fausch, wife Caroline, daughter Augusta and infant son August.  The age is consistent with that of the infant child on that ship, the August Fausch in Michigan City, and the August Fausch born in Battrow in 1856.
 
August Fausch (3)
The age indicates a birthdate of 1836 which does not come close to either known August Fausch.  This perhaps is the August Fausch who appears in the 1880 census living with the family of Phillip Zorn (Zorn Brewery) whose age in the census would give him a birthdate in 1835/36.  NOTE:  August Fausch, the brother of Fred Fausch was not found in the 1880 census in LaPorte County.  Also, this unknown August Fausch was not seen in the 1900 census.  Birthplace given in census does not match the Prussia given on the declaration above.

CHAPTER ONE: 1 
Origins 

Settle your father and your brother in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen.--Genesis 47:6 

The big news in Goshen, Indiana, on Decoration Day, May 30, 1896, was the melee at August Fausch's saloon. Things got so out of hand that at 8:30 that Saturday night Marshal Rigney shot and killed the chief perpetrator, Richard Van Tassel, commonly known as Dick Simmons, a hulking man who was considered "prone to drink." The tempers that night at Fausch's merely matched the weather, however, as a heavy storm was ripping through central and northern Indiana, the wake of a major cyclone that had hit St. Louis, killing more than four hundred people. 

In a quieter part of town, in a stately, handsome house on the corner of Fifth and Jefferson,  [...]

 To the left is the opening of a biographical work.  That which appears to the left is a sort of "It was a dark and stormy night..." type of scene setting, and as such, I don't know if the events depicted represent true events.  If there was an August Fausch, saloon owner, could he have been the same one who lived with the family of the Zorn Brewery 16 years earlier?
