DR. W. H. H. ASBURY, son of W. D. and Elizabeth (Bowman) Asbury, is a native of 
Kentucky, as were also his parents, his birth occuring August 5, 1840, in Fleming 
County.  When nine years old, he removed with his parents to Sullivan County, Ind., 
where he was reared and educated, his schooling being finished at Farmersburg 
Seminary.  He was employed in school teaching for about three years, afterward going 
to Centerville, Vigo County, and beginning the study of medicine under the tuition of 
Dr. Hollingsworth.  In 1868, he took a course of lectures at the Ohio Medical College, 
Cincinnati, but did not graduate until attending a second course in 1875.  Dr. Asbury
is one of Greene County's best physicians, and previous to his location at Jasonville, 
in 1876, he carried on a good practice, at different times, in Centerville, Freedom, 
Sandborn and Middletown.   While at Freedom, his marriage, on the 1st of September, 
1870, with Miss Ludie Landrum, was solemnized, and to this union have been born three 
children--Mary L., Pearl and Lulu.  Mrs. Asbury was born in Owen County, Ind., July 
22, 1850, a daughter of R. B. and S. J. Landrum, who were natives respectively of
Virginia and Indiana.  Dr. Asbury is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and although 
a Democrat in politics is inclined in his belief to the doctrines of the National 
Greenback party.
