     DANIEL H. BUSSARD is the owner and proprietor of the Independent Printing 
Company. Under his indomitable efforts and capable management, the business 
has steadily grown through the years from a small beginning to a large and 
prosperous concern, the products of which are distributed throughout this 
section of the coast country. Mr. Bussard was born in Connersville, Fayette 
county, Indiana, on the 2d of June, 1869, and is a son of F. R. and Lucy 
Bussard. During the '70s his father moved his family to Kansas, where he took 
up a homestead and engaged in farming, also conducting a wagon shop. He became 
prominent in local public affairs and served a number of years as justice of 
the peace. The mother passed away in Kansas and afterward the father came to 
Portland, where he spent his remaining years, his death occurring in 1928, at 
the age of eighty-six years.

     Daniel H. Bussard received a good public school education and then 
learned the printing trade. He had a printing shop of his own in Kansas when 
he was twenty-one years of age and ran it until 1889, when he came to 
Portland. Here he was employed at various occupations until 1903, when he 
established the Independent Printing Company, of which he and his father were 
the owners until 1908, when Mr. Bussard bought his father's interest and has 
since been the sole owner. His first printing plant was on Morrison street, 
between Front and First streets, and during the following years several moves 
were made until 1923, when Mr. Bussard came to his present location at 95 
Fifteenth street north where he occupies a two-story building, eighty-five by 
fifty feet. He has a complete, modern equipment of type, machinery and 
material and does a general line of printing, giving employment to twelve 
skilled workmen.

     In 1891 Mr. Bussard was united in marriage to Miss Eva M. Haines, of 
Oswego, Oregon, a daughter of J. C. Haines, an early settler of that locality 
and for a number of years a justice of the peace. He is now deceased. Mr. and 
Mrs. Bussard are the parents of four children, namely: Lucy, who is the wife 
of George Morse, of Portland, and the mother of two daughters; Mary, who is 
the wife of Charles Clinehens, of Portland, and they have two daughters; Ruth, 
who is the wife of Harvey Cole, of San Diego, California; and Daniel H., Jr., 
who is associated with his father in business, and is married. Mr. Bussard 
gives his political allegiance to the republican party and is a member of the 
Woodmen of the World, the Chamber of Commerce and the American Automobile 
Association. He has devoted his attention closely to his business in which a 
very gratifying measure of success has attended him, and has earned a 
reputation as a reliable and trustworthy man in all of his affairs.
