Ralph Warren Faus, M. D., of Wellington, who ranks among the capable young physicians and surgeons of Lorain
County, is a veteran of the World War. He was born in Cleveland, March 17, 1892, the son of Oliver W. and Hattie
E. (Highley) Faus.
Oliver W. Faus lives retired in Cleveland. Both he and his wife are natives of Ohio, born at Port Clinton and Rocky
River, respectively. As a young man he learned the printer's trade and for many years was identified with the A.
N. Kellogg Newspaper Company of Cleveland. Politically, he is a Democrat. Mr. and Mrs. Faus are the parents of
four children: 1. Ralph Warren, the subject of this sketch. 2. Mildred, married James Barr, lives at Cleveland.
3. Melvin W., a veteran of the World War, having served in the U. S. Navy. He lives at Cleveland. 4. Dr. James
C., a graduate of Western Reserve University, lives at Cleveland, where he is engaged in the practice of dentistry.
Ralph Warren Faus obtained his early education in the Cleveland public schools, being a graduate of West High School
in 1910. He received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the Cleveland Homeopathic College in 1914, spent the
following year as an interne in Huron Road Hospital, Cleveland, and during 1915-16 engaged in private practice
at LaGrange, Ohio. He established his present practice in Wellington in 1916, but in September, 1917, enlisted
for service in the World War, being commissioned a first lieutenant, U. S. Medical Corps. He was sent to Fort Benjamin
Harrison, Indianapolis, Ind., and in December, 1917, was transferred to Camp Dodge, Iowa. He was discharged from
the service in 1918 and resumed his practice in Wellington at that time. The Faus Clinic, which was founded by
Dr. Faus at Wellington in June, 1929, is the first enterprise of this type ever attempted in the city, and has
already proven to be of exceptional value to the community.
