| WILLIAM LUSK,
son of Charles and Anna Lusk, was born in Virginia July
14th, 1817, and when about eighteen years of age came with his
parents to this county. He had very limited educational
opportunities in the old State, and here it fell to his lot to
work rather than attend school. The father was a strict
temperance man, and the son became likewise an advocate of
sobriety, and, notwithstanding the influences by which he was
surrounded during his youth when liquor was a factor in the
fields, he is able to say that he has never used intoxicating
liquor during his whole life. In 1833 he united with the
Methodist Episcopal church, and in 1859 was licensed as a local
minister, which relation he sustained until the present time.
From 1839 to 1845 he lived in Missouri, but returned to Auglaize
county at the latter date, where he has since resided. He
owns a large tract of land, west of St. Johns, on which he has
built for himself an elegant residence. The upright life
that he has lived commands the respect of all who known him. |
