Notes for John Wesley Faubion II
John Wesley Faubion, II, married Ida Alice Broadhurst December 27, 1893, in Clay County, Missouri. They had three boys, the first, Otto, dying when only five months old.
John was over six feet tall. Having shown he was dependable and a hard worker, he was appointed overseer of the roads in Clay County, Missouri, in 1897. He loved farming, though, and helped Alfred Broadhurst, his father-in-law, whenever he could.
Ida passed away in 1903. John arranged for their sons, Joe and Eckles, to stay with Ida's parents. John lived with his sister, Nancy, and her family in Kansas City, and he found employment with the Kansas City Street Railways Company in the maintenance and repair department, later working in the streetcar barn in Kansas City, Kansas, as foreman.
Needing a stepmother for Joe and Eckles, he asked Fannie Ray to marry him. It is said that she wasn't certain she wanted to become a stepmother, but John pressed her, and she agreed. They were married November 17, 1910, at a Church Circle meeting.
They rented a house in Kansas City, Kansas, and the boys moved in with them, later taking out a mortgage to buy the house at 715 Tauromee. Fannie's strong moral character made her a good mother to the boys, and it is said she had a temper to go along with her red hair. Nevertheless, they seemed to thrive as a close-knit family, enjoying family vacations together and visiting with relatives often.
John Faubion had been active in the Faubion Chapel in Clay County, where he was superintendent of the Sunday School. In Kansas City, he was also involved in the Methodist Church. A strong supporter of his community, he was a Mason, having joined the Rising Sun Lodge in Barry Missouri and maintaining his Blue Lodge membership there. He belonged to Chapter, Council, and Ivanhoe Commandry in Kansas City, Kansas, and was a member of the drill team for the Knights Templar, as well as being a Shriner.
John wanted to attend the 1924 Shriners convention in Kansas City, Missouri. There was a stalled streetcar and he stopped to troubleshoot its problem on his way to the parade. The streetcar had faulty insulation on top, and John was electrocuted. He was killed when he fell off the Inter-City Viaduct.
He was buried in Faubion Cemetery, and his body was removed and re-interred in Memorial Park Cemetery.11
