   DR. J. TERHUNE. Among the early settlers of Greene County, Ind., was David
Terhune, who was born March 24, 1818, in Fleming County, Ky., where he was
reared to manhood. In 1844, he came to this county, whither his parents had
preceded him the year before, and located in Wright Township where he purchased
forty acres of land of Milton Moss, erected a cabin and the nest year married
Sallie Neals. This lady was also a native of Kentucky, born in 1820. Her parents
removed to Illinois at an early day, where they both died in 1832, of cholera,
leaving her to be reared by an uncle. Mr. Terhune began life in Greene County, a
comparatively poor man, but from the beginning he was remarkably successful in
the acquisition of this world's goods. He at one time owned about 400 acres of
choice land, besides having given each of his children a start of $1,300. He was
an honored and esteemed citizen, and died March 3, 1880, preceded by his wife in
1868, and both are buried in the family burying ground on Nine Mile Prairie.
Their children are Dr. J.; Thomas J., Judge of the Nineteenth Judicial District
of Indiana; Mary J., deceased; Nancy A., deceased; James, a resident of Smith
Township; Margaret, deceased: W. D., a resident of Kansas; and J. B., a resident
of Indiana. Dr. J. Terhune was born in Greene County, Ind., in 1846; was
educated at Newberry and Asbury Universities, and for twelve years was a public
school teacher. He owns two good farms in Stockton Township, and is largely
interested in stock-raising. His marriage with Miss Maggie A., daughter of Isaac
and Pattie (Harbutt) Mull, of Kentucky, was solemnized in 1871.
