Charles Zankey (1857–1934) emigrated from Germany (Prussia) at the age of 2 with his parents, Charles and Teresa Zankey. To escape the wars and unrest in that part of the world, they came to the Arkona-Bosanquet Twp. area.
Charles married Sarah MacDonald (–1928) from the Thedford area in 1883. They bought part of Lot 25, Con. 5 NER around 1891 and lived there until their deaths. There they raised a family of three daughters. Charles followed in his father’s footsteps as a wagon maker, blacksmith and farmer.
Their only surviving daughter, Clara Edith, married George B. Faulds in 1905. The Faulds had ten children, six boys and four girls. Three of their sons chose to live and farm in Warwick Twp.
One son, Harry (Jeff) Faulds, bought Charles Zankey’s farm around 1935 and lived there until 1996. He and his wife, June, had four children: Harry, Max, Patricia, and Wayne.
Another son, Elgin Faulds (–1974), lived and farmed on the 4th line NER, Warwick Twp., near the Adelaide Twp. border. He and his wife, Mabel had two children, Karen and David.
The oldest son, Ernest Faulds, married Ella Elliott from East Williams Twp., Middlesex County, in 1936.
