   GEORGE W. NASH, one of ten children born to Obediah and Nancy (Edwards) Nash,
is a native of the township, county and State where he now resides, his birth
occurring August 15, 1839. His parents were among the first to brave the
hardships and inconvenience of pioneer life in Greene County, their advent
dating back to 1822. His education was obtained at the primitive log
schoolhouse, and when about eleven years of age he was cast upon his own
resources by the death of his parents. Until twenty-one years of age, he was
engaged in farming, but July 6, 1861, he volunteered his services for the
suppression of the rebellion, and was assigned to Company C, Twenty-first
Regiment of Indiana Volunteer Infantry. At the end of two and a half years, he
was discharged, then re-enlisted in the First Indiana Heavy Artillery from which
he received his final discharge August 23, 1865. Mr. Nash was a brave and
efficient soldier and took part in the battles of Port Hudson, Baton Rouge,
Cedar Grove, Donaldsonville, New Orleans and the Spanish Fort. February 1, 1866,
he married Fidelia Gaston, who has presented him with two sons—William O. and
John D. The parents are highly respected people of their locality, and are
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Nash is one of the progressive
farmers of his township, owns a good farm of 156 acres adjoining the village of
Newark, and as a Republican in politics has always favored the advancement of
all laudable public enterprises.
