Lorenzo Fauver was born in Easton Township, Lorain County, Ohio. He was one of six children of Thomas Walter Fauver (1819-1889) and Alzina Cornell Fauver(1820-1871). Lorenzo enlisted in Company A, 23rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, January 23, 1864 at 18 years of age for a term of 3 years. Captured July 24, 1864 at the Battle of Winchester, Virginia, he died of chronic diarrhea as a prisoner of war at Danville, Virginia.

His name is on Panel #4 in the Cuyahoga County Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio, and on the monument of the 23rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Woodland Cemetery, 6901 Woodland Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. See the photos at the right. Be sure to read the notations under each photo.

There are inconsistencies about his middle initial. He appears as "L. D. Fauver" on the 23rd monument in Woodland Cemetery, as Lorenzo A. Fauver, in the Official Roster of Ohio Soldiers, Volume 3, pp. 76 and 715, and as "Lorenzo Thomas Fauver," in Memorial #80738136 in Find A Grave.

Lorenzo's family moved to Henry County, Ohio circa 1860 where Lorenzo ha a military headstone which is probably a cenotaph at Locust Grove Cemetery at Ridgeville Corners.
