(Witness) Bio

John A. Frushour. The leading hardware establishment in the village of Lucerne, in Harrison township, is that conducted by John A. Frushour. Mr. Frushour took charge of this business some years ago, and by his ability as a merchant has succeeded in more than doubling his trade, and now has an enterprise which is probably second to none of its class in northern Cass county.
John A. Frushour was born in Harrison township on the tenth of January, 1861. The family have been residents in the county for more than seventy years, and have always been industrious citizens, and highly respected for their personal character. The name Frushour, however, is of Belgian lineage. Mr. Frushour's grandfather was named Mathias, while his father was the late John W. Frushour. The maiden name of the mother was Cecelia Bierd. The late John W. Frushour, the Father, was twice married. The nine children by his first wife were as follows: Michael W., Samuel J., James E., John A., Francis X., Eleanor E., George M., Edward W., and Sarah J. His second wife bore the maiden name of Amanda M. Boyle, and she was the mother of four children, namely: Mary R., Joseph E., Rose and Margaret. The father of the Lucerne merchant, came to Cass county about 1840, his original home having been in Morgan county, Virginia. He was accompanied by his father, and their first settlement was in Noble township, on what is known as the old Tipit farm. He resided at different places in Noble township, and finally moved into Harrison township, which was his home until his death, at an advanced age in 1911. His first wife passed away in 1871.
John A. Frushour married October 22, 1892, Miss Mary A. Hoynes, a daughter of James and Margaret (Glenn) Hoynes. Seven children were born of their marriage, six of whom are living and one deceased, namely: John Leo, born January 15, 1894, and died February 14, 1911; James A., Ruth, Austin G., Margaret E., Edward H., Mary C. Mr. Frushour was reared in his native vicinity where he attained such schooling as afforded him a practical preparation for life, and remained at home working on the farm and other occupations, until the time he was thirty-one years of age. During his youth he had acquired the trade of a carpenter, and when he began life on his own account, if was as a carpenter contractor, a business which he followed for about twenty years, with considerable success. It was on retiring from that occupation that he entered the hardware business at Lucerne, where he has since been a prosperous merchant. He bought out the present establishment, and as already noted, has more than doubled the business in the years in which he has been engaged in same. His family attends the Catholic church, St. Elizabeth's, in Harrison township.¹⁰
