Christian Edward Faulring was born on March 14, 187669, in the Town of Concord, New York10, the 5th child of Casper and Barbara Faulring. He grew up on the family farm in the Town of Concord, probably the farm of his grandfather and father, located on Emerling road. Throughout his life, Christian went by the name Christ, which was pronounced with a hard "K" as in Kris. By 1900, Christ, jointly with his brother, Ferd, was operating a rented farm in the Town of Concord27. On October 15, 19029, Christ married Bertha Smith at Hamburg, New York. Bertha was born on March 14, 1876. They settled in Boston, New York, initially renting a house27. They later purchased a house on Colden road (now Boston Cross Road).

In 1905, Christ formed a partnership with his brother William to establish a feed mill business for processing and selling grain. In Boston, they purchased a small piece of land adjacent to the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad7, where they built their Feed Mill. In the neighboring Town of Colden, the brothers leased land from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for a second mill. Christ and Will operated the C&W Faulring Feed Mill Company until 1938, when they leased both mills and associated equipment to George and Herold Faulring and DeLee Owen, who continued the operation until 194513.
Bertha Faulring died on June 23, 194310. Following her death, Christ shared his home with Herold Faulring, his nephew, and Herold's growing family. Eventually, Herold was able to buy the house, which remains in the family to this day. Christ died January 14, 195110. Christ and Bertha had no children.
