The father was a native of New York, from which State he removed to Indiana about 1816. The mother was a native of Kentucky, from which State she emigrated to Indiana in 1817. The father was of English descent, and the mother of Irish and Welsh. The subject of this sketch had the advantage of the common schools and succeeded in securing a fair education. He remained home with his parents until their deaths, that of the father occurring October 16, 1874, and that of the mother August 5, 1833. On June 22, 1848, his marriage with Rachel Reed was solemnized, and to their union have been born six children, five of whom are now living; William N., Lydia A., Sallie E., Augustine R. (deceased), Morton E., Frank B. He is not a member of any church organization, but liberally supports the churches and charitable causes of his community. He is a member of the I. O. O. F. In politics he is a stanch Republican, and takes a lively interest in the political questions of the day. By occupation he is a farmer and stock-raiser, in which pursuits he has made fair success. On the 30th of June, 1884, Mr. Chamberlain was called upon to sustain the loss of his beloved wife and life-long companion, and the family that of an affectionate mother and adviser. She was a member of the Baptist Church, and felt that she was prepared to meet her God in peace.

His father was a native of Kentucky, from which State he removed to Indiana in 1842, settling about one and one-half miles east of what is now Campbellsburg. Prior to the year 1862 he was engaged in farming, and since that time has been connected with the mill. He has also been a minister of the Gospel of the Christian Church. William, the subject of this sketch, had good facilities for securing a practical education, enough to enable him to teach in the common schools. October 26, 1865, his marriage with Nancy E. Purlee was solemnized, and this union has been blessed with seven children, all living: James L., Cora E., Stella M., William H., Lawrence E., Lulu D. and an infant daughter unnamed. He is not a member of any church, but contributes liberally to the support of churches and morals in general. He belongs to the Masonic fraternity, and in politics is a stanch Democrat, and has been elected Trustee in this township by that party five times, serving in all twelve years. A flour and saw-mill, located on Blue River, seven miles south of Salem, and owned by James Rudder & Son, was erected about 1820. In the first few years after its erection there was no saw-mill attached. The probable capacity at that time was: corn, forty-five bushels; wheat, fifty bushels. The saw-mill was added about 1875, which was also run by water-power, as was the flouring-mill. In 1878 a boiler and engine were purchase, which can be applied to either. It has a good and paying custom at present, with capacity: corn, 150 bushels; wheat, 100 bushels; lumber, 6,000 feet per day.

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.
