DAVID BUSH, a prominent citizen, was born in Washington County, Ind., on the
1st of June, 1831, being the fifth of a family of twelve children, born to
Daniel and Franey (Sears) Bush.  His father was a native of Virginia, from
which State he immigrated to Indiana at a very early day.  His mother was a
native of Kentucky.  She came to Indiana in 1812, settling in Harrison
County.  David was reared on the farm, and had very poor advantages of
schools;  owing to the want of early public funds and schoolhouses, he
secured only the rudiments.  He remained at home with his parents until
their deaths, that of the father occurring in 1845, and that of the mother
in 1884.  In 1865 he married Jane Porter, and to these parents have been
born two children, both living:  Oliver and Enoch.  Mr. Bush is a member of
the Christian Church, and contributes liberally to its support, and to all
enterprises to benefit the public.  In politics he is a Republican, but is
not radical in his views.  He is a farmer and stock-raiser, which pursuits
he has followed during his life.  The county has no better people than his
family, and no citizen whose name if freer from reproach.
