WILLIAM HARVEY FAULKNER,one of the representative and progressive men of 
Allen County, was born December 2, 1833, near the boundary of Allen and 
Monroe Counties, and is the second of five boys and six girls, all of 
whom lived to be grown, born to Benjamin F. and Mary Ann (Goodman) 
Faulkner, who were natives of Virginia and Monroe Conty, Ky., 
respectively.  His father, B. F. Faulkner, was a cooper by trade; was 
brought to Kentucky by his parents; was born in 1800, and died in 1847, 
and was a son of James Faulkner, who came from near Richmond, Va., 
between 1800 and 1805, and settled in Jessamine County, Kky.; a few 
years later he located in Monroe County; in 1839 he moved with his 
family to Cooper (now Pettis) County, Mo., where he resided until his 
death, at the age of about eighty years.  He had been a cooper and a 
farmer, and was of English descent.  The mother of our subject was a 
daughter of John J. Goodman, who was born and reared in North Carolina, 
and who married Margaret Hagan, of Kentucky; he immigrated to Kentucky 
about 1801, and settled in Monroe County, where he purchased and 
improved a farm; he was a farmer and distiller, and died December 25, 
1881, at the age of ninety-six years.  He was a son of Jacob Goodman, 
who was born and reared in North Carolina; was a Revolutionary soldier, 
and in 1801 came with his family to Kentucky and settled in Monroe 
County, where he purchased and improved a farm, on which Fountain Run 
now stands.  He gave the ground for the first church erected in the 
place, and died in 1859, at the age of ninety-six years.  His father 
came from England, and his mother was of Dutch descent.  W. H. Faulkner 
received his early training on the farm; he was but thirteen years of 
age at his father's death, and, therefore, had to aid in taking care of 
the family.  His mother purchased 100 acres, which he assisted in paying 
for, and he took care of his mother until her death, which occurred 
October 2, 1863, at the age of fifty-five years.  Mr. Faulkner has 
followed farming all his life, with the exception of four years spent at 
carpentering.  He purchased his first farm in Allen County, sold it and 
then located where he now resides, and where he owns 234 acres, of which 
120 are in a good state of cultivation; he also owns a farm of 132 acres 
on Barren River - seventy-five acres under cultivation - which his wife 
inherited.  Possessing a patriotic sprit, Mr. Faulkner enlisted, in the 
fall of 1861, in Company A, Ninth Kentucky Infantry.  After a service of 
ten months he was honorably discharged on account of disability, and 
then returned home and engaged in farming and speculting in leaf 
tobacco.  He married, in February, 1866, Angeline Fraim, of Monroe 
County, a daughter of John M. and Permelia (Flippin) Fraim.  (See sketch 
of John M. Fraim, deceased.)  To this union have been born the following 
named children:  James T., May 9, 1867; John M., August 5, 1869; Anna 
Alda, May 3, 1876; Aldridge J., September 27, 1878; Anna F., March 
3,1880; Alda M., September 5, 1882; Arkola, September 27, 1884.  Of 
these five are living.  The eldest, James Thomas, died November 5, 1885, 
asking his relatives to be reconciled to his death.  Mr. Faulkner is a 
self-made man, and has acquired his possessions by his own efforts.  He 
cast his first presidential vote for James Buchanan.
