Charles Elmer Faucett [1862-1934]: Charles grew up near what was to become Avon in Hendricks Co., IN. The family moved to Indianapolis when he was about 20. He married Lizzie Cawby less than a month after his father's death in 1885. The Faucetts lived on Indian and California Streets [near the present IUPUI Campus] until just before 1920, when they moved to thee near East side of town. Charles and his brother James purchased a plot at Crown Hill Cemetery in 1893. Charles worked as a teamster and city agent for Kingan and Co. Meat Packing Plant. Charles died in 1934 and was buried in the Faucett - Cawby plot at Crown Hill Cemetery.
Elizabeth June Cawby [1867-1937]: Lizzie, as she was known, called Johnson, Hendricks and Marion Counties in Indiana home. Her family settled in Indianapolis by 1880 and she married Charles Faucett in 1885. They had four children, Mayme, Lester "Buddy," Freda and Edwin, who died at one month. Lizzie operated Mohler, Metzger & Faucett, a millinery shop for a short time around 1900. She died in 1937 at the age of 69.
Note: The Faucetts and Cawbys found marriage to be a "family affair." Charles Faucett & Lizzie Cawby married in 1885; James Faucett married Helen Cawby in 1884; Alpheus Faucett married Alice Cawby in 1900 [his 2nd marriage]. It apparently took Alpheus awhile to get with the program. His 1st wife died in 1887.
All three couples and their parents, as well as some of the infants are interred in the family plot at Crown Hill. Only Benjamin F. [father] and Edwin [grandson] are named on the monument.
