Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 835:
Henry Faust, one of the enterprising business men of Blenheim, County of Kent, enjoys the distinction of being the oldest business man in that city. He is descended from German ancestry, and possesses in a large measure the energy, thrift and business ability of the German people. Adam Faust, his father, was born in Germany, and in 1850 came to Ontario, locating in the County of Waterloo, where he engaged in farming and stock raising. There he died in 1858. He was the father of the following named children: Conrad, of Los Angeles, California; Mary, now married and living in the County of Waterloo; Kate, Mrs. Vollmer, of the same county; and Henry.
     Henry Faust was born in Germany in 1848, and was therefore but two years of age when brought to Ontario. When ten years old he lost his father, and when only thirteen he started to earn his own living, leaving home to learn the trade of harnessmaker in Waterloo. In October, 1873, having thoroughly mastered his calling, Mr. Faust engaged in business at Blenheim, and for more than thirty years he has been one of the successful business men of the city. Lately he has retired, and he is now enjoying the fruits of a lifetime of toil. Politically, he is a Liberal, and for three years he served in the council of Blenheim. He is a member of the Lutheran Church, and in fraternal association he is a Mason.
     In 1878 Mr. Faust married Miss Cordelia Stover, and they have had four sons: Henry Stanley, of Chicago; and George G., Arthur Douglas and William Charles, of Blenheim. During all of his business career Mr. Faust lived up to a high standard of excellence, and he has always held the confidence and highest respect of all who have had any dealings with him.
