JOHN H. La RUE farmer, P.O. Bristol, was born in 
Newportville, Bucks county, March 12, 1846, and is a son of 
George and Christiana (Headley) La Rue.  His parents were 
born in Bucks county, and were of French and English origin. 
 Our subject's grandfather, Moses La Rue, was a wheelwright 
and settled in Newportville, in Bristol township, where he 
carried on his trade.  He was justice of the peace for many 
years and served one term as county treasurer of Bucks 
county.  The father of John H. worked with his father at the 
wheelwright's trade for a time and succeeded him in the 
business, but preferred farming and made that his business.  
He met with success and is now living a retired life in 
Bristol.  His family consisted of two children, John H. and 
Mary E.   John E. is now living on the home farm, and makes 
farming his business.  He received a good English education 
at Attleboro and Mount Holly Institute.  He is now serving 
as one of the auditors of Bucks county.
