Hobart Gazette, 7 Mar. 1968.
Charles was one of the many children of Henry and Mary Ann (Springman) Fasel. We met him, briefly, in 1918 when his first wife, Cora Goodrich, died of the Spanish influenza. Charles married again about three years later, to Elsie Volland. Together they had half a dozen children; he already had four from his first marriage.
A year after he was featured in the Gazette, Charles died.

He is buried, with both of his wives, in the Merrillville Cemetery.
I had an uncle who swore by dowsing (he objected to words like "witching" or "divining"). If I recall correctly, he dowsed for gold in Alaska. He was adventurous, but he wasn't rich.
The scientific consensus based on controlled experiments is that dowsing works as well as random chance. Wikipedia overview here; another article here; and one on wells and aquifers here.
