letter dated March 10, 1993 from Renate Konnel,
"We have found some old photos of aunts and uncles. But nobody is still alive. The oldest photo shows Alex's grandfather Franz Faust born 1872. He was a musician. In the year 1914 he played music with a band in the USA. The photo was made there. The other photo shows son Franz born 1899, he also took part of this USA trip. He was only 15 years old and he never came back to Germany and nobody heared anything about him anymore. Another brother of Franz Faust born 1872, his name was Ludwig Faust born 1884, emigrated to USA, but nobody heared anything about him anymore.""Paula Faust, Alex's mother, was the youngest of 7 brothers and 2 sisters. Nobody is still alive. The last uncle, his name was Otto (Ferdinand Faust's father) died in spring 1992. He was 85 years old."
"The Konnel family is also a large family. Alex has six brothers and two sisters. We have lots of cousins and our boys even much more."
"It's easy to explain why Peter Faust emigrated to USA. The people were so poor and they hadn't enough for living and dying. Many people worked as day labourers at other larger farms. In those years there were also a few workmen, for example joiner, bricklayer, painter, showmaker, tailor, farrier, and Hermersberg only had a few hundred inhabitants."

Harlan,
I got to thinking a bit after I visited with you and we talked families.
You know Rose (Selting Bode) was married before she married John Faust. She
had 6 children with Bode. Like my folks they lived on a place of Grandpa
Selting's. Bode died in NE and she married John and moved to SD. The Bode
boys did not like John at all. Said all he did was sit on a stool and smoke
his pipe and they had to do all the work. When Rose died in 1949 They told
him to pack his suitcase and they brought him to Miller and he lived in an
old hotel the county paid for his care. My brother LaVerne had a dry
cleaners in Miller and he used to pick him up and he road along on his
delivery route. When he got so he could not take care of himself my brother
found a nursing home in Lake Preston, SD and took him there because Miller
did not have one and he was being cared by the county. LaVerne always said
my dad said John never liked to work. The Bode boys absolutely had nothing
to do with him. Ralph Bode lived in Lake Preston but never visited him in
the Nursing home. Family things are always sad.
John married Rosa (Rose) M. Selting daughter of Bernard Selting and Agnes Wintz in Apr 1925 in Raeville, Boone, Nebraska. Rosa was born on 19 Dec 1889 in Alton, Iowa. She died on 18 Apr 1949 in Aberdeen, Brown, South Dakota. She was buried in Polo, Hand, South Dakota.
They had the following children:
+ 94 F i Germaine Elizabeth Faust was born on 9 Dec 1926. She died on 3 Aug 2014.

She was christened in Jan 1879 in Bellevue, Huron County, Ohio. She died on 16 Dec 1935 in Columbus, Platte, Nebraska. She was buried in Columbus, Platte, Nebraska.

"I talked with Berniece several times lately and she said she sent you some info. She was confused about Peter’s burial place. I said both of us had proof he is buried at St.Bernard, NE. She mentioned Reinhard Faust that the folks did not visit much but dad’s sister Anna visited often and she remembered my dad sending a pig home with her by tying its feet together and they took it home in the car. She commented my dad saying they were poor and needed food. That must have been interesting driving but I have seen similar here with a beef animal with it’s head out a back window of a car. humm I have to remember though the time and transportation back then. Did she live anyplace close in NE? I see she is buried at St.Bernard also." by Patty Fawcett

General Notes
Peter and Anna buried in Catholic cemetery in Columbus, NE at
14th and Nth Ave.Court House records in Columbus, Nebraska. 2 years old came to US with an
uncle making a home at St. Bernard, NE on a farm. Married Anna Faust
in 1901. Moved to Columbus, NE 1910. Was an engineer in a brick yard.
---------------------------------------------------
"Peter Ernst was born February 29, 1876 in Holland and it is said he came to America when he was two years old with his uncle. He was the son of John Ernst and Kate Delissen. John and Kate also had a daughter, Anna Elizabeth Ernst, born 6 March 1878 in St. Bernard. Anna Elizabeth married Reinhart Peter Faust 20 September 1900. Reinhart Peter Faust was a brother to Anna Mary Faust.Kate was the daughter of Peter and Ann Elizabeth Delissen who came to Madison County from Holland. Kate also had a brother named William. The parents and William owned farm land just north of St. Bernard, near the Platte County/Madison County line. Peter and Ann Elizabeth Delissen are buried in the St. Bernard cemetery. It is possible that Kate died in childbirth when her daughter was born since the census records show John as a widower and a boarder at various farms in the area. Their children apparently were raised by the grandparents.
John Ernst was the son of Peter Ernst and Louis Warden was born in Holland. John is not listed on the Census for 1885 or 1900 for Platte County.
On June 19, 1884 a marriage record was recorded in Platte County showing that John Ernst, age 29 of Colfax County, Nebraska, place of birth, Holland, father Peter Ernst and mother Louise Warden. The Bride was Ellen McGrabe of Colfax County, born in Ireland, age 25, father Owen McGrabe and mother, Mary Hawes. According to the 1880 census, John would have been born about 1849. According to the marriage certificate he would have been born about 1855." by Dorothy Giles
