Author: History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin,  O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882

AUGUSTUS SHROPSHIRE, farmer; P. O. Centerville; was born July 20, 1836, in 
Bourbon County, and is the son of Col. Ben Shropshire of Harrison County.  He 
was educated at the common country schools, and was reared a farmer.  He now 
owns a body of 203 acres of as fine land, and as finely improved, as can be 
found in Centerville Precinct, and is called "Spring Hill" on account of a 
fine spring on the farm.  Besides doing a general farming business, he has 
given much attention to the breeding of fine horses and short-horn cattle, and 
at present has a fine herd of twenty-five in number, representing most of the 
popular families, Duke of Ashland being at the head of his herd. Politically, 
Mr. Shropshire is a Democrat, and in all affairs pertaining to the general 
welfare of the community he has taken an active part.  For the past seven 
years he has held the office of school trustee.  He is a member of the 
Christian Church, as is also his wife, to whom he was married in February 
1864, and whose maiden name was Fanny Forrester and daughter of R. H. 
Forrester of Chicago, Ill.  They are the parents of seven children: Ida, 
Robert, Benjamin, Pink, Palmer, Garrett and Fanny.
