William and Emma Faulring

William and Emma Faulring

William Casper Edward Faulring was born on June 4, 1878 in the Town of Concord, New York10, the 6th child of Casper and Barbara Faulring.  Throughout his life, he went by the name William, or Will for short.  He grew up on the family farm in the Town of Concord, probably the farm of his grandfather and father, located on Emerling road.  In 1900, William was living with his mother and step-father in Boston, New York and working as a carpenter55.

In 1905, Will formed a partnership with his brother Christ to establish a feed mill business for processing and selling grain.  In Boston, they purchased a small piece of land adjacent to the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad7, where they built their Feed Mill.  In the neighboring Town of Colden, the brothers leased land from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for their mill.  Christ and Will operated the C&W Faulring Feed Mill Company until 1938, when they leased both mills and associated equipment to George and Herold Faulring and DeLee Owen, who continued the operation until 194513.

Sometime around 1907, William married Matilda Demerley, daughter of Charles Demerley and Carrie Schunk, and in 1909, Matilda gave birth to a son.  On March 11, 1909, Matilda died, presumable as a result of complications from giving birth.
