Bath Twp. - Peter Faze, farmer, Lima, was born in Baltimore County, Md., Dec. 4, 1820, son of Nicholas and Cordelia (Zahn) Faze, native of Germany, who settled in Perry Township, this county, in May, 1833, entering forty acres of land which they cleared and improved, and on which they lived until their death. They moved from York County, Penn., to this county, bringing their goods in a one-horse wagon, and were five weeks making the journey. They reared a family of five children: Paul C, Mary, Peter, William, and Lydia (. Our subject was reared in Perry Township, this county, from thirteen years of age, and lived with his parents until their death.
