(Witness) BioGeorge V. Freshour is a native of Morgan County, Va., where he was born February 25, 1822, a son of Matthias and Eleanor (Burke) Freshour, also natives of Morgan County, VA., who in 1834 became residents of Cass County, where they passed the remainder of their days. The father departed this life September 3, 1834, his widow surviving him some years. George V. was reared upon a farm, aiding his mother, and from boyhood was accustomed to hard work. June 3, 1846, he married Charlotte T. Rowan, a native of Hamilton County, Ohio, born January 8, 1823, a daughter of Finley and Anna (Enyart) Rowan. They were blessed with seven children: Orlando, born August 31, 1847, died September 4, 1848; Harmon T., born June 27, 1849, George J., born January 12, 1852, William V., born July 20, 1854; Robert F., born October 16, 1856; Charlotte T., born January 5, 1859, and Ida M., born June 23, 1861. Farming has been the occupation of Mr. Freshour through life; and that he has made it a success one can readily see from the well cultivated farm of 765 acres and the comfortable home he now owns. Beginning life poor, he has attained his present possessions only by industry and frugality. He is a Republican in politics, a member of the F. & A. M., and a gentleman known and respected by many.8

Death*William Victor Freshour died on 7 December 1909 at Bethlehem Twp., Cass, Indiana, at age 55; buried at Mt. Hope Cemetery.8 
(Witness) BioMrs. Etta Frushour was the wife of the late William Frushour, a man who was all his life a resident of this township, and who passed his life on the farm on which he was born, and where his death occurred, and one of the substantial citizens of Bethlehem township. His widow occupied that place, and like him, was regarded as one of the most estimable and honorable of people. She maintained her high place in popular confidence and esteem, and was prominent in every good work that found expression in her community.
Born in Missouri, April 25, 1859, Mrs. Frushour was the daughter of Paul and Ellen (Long) Gundrum. Paul Gundrum was a native Indianan, who came from winnimac, Indiana, in 1869, and settled in Cass county, where Mrs. Frushour, his daughter, was reared. He died on March 2, 1912, after having passed a life devoted to farming and kindred activities. They were people of German ancestry and descent. The mother died on the 8th day of April, 1912, surviving her honored husband by but a very brief period, as will be seen. Etta Frushour was their only child.
In her young maidenhood Mrs. Frushour married William Frushour, the date of their marriage being October 21, 1880. He was a son of old pioneers of Cass county, and he was born on the farm where he passed his life and died, and where his widow also died. His father came here in a most primitive period and located a farm, putting up a rude log house and settling down to farm life in a new and untaught country. Heavy timber growths covered the land at that time, and this was gradually cleared away and the farm came to take on an aspect of homelikeness that has been only intensified with the passing years. Indians were not strangers to the settlers of that time, and trying times were experienced by the sturdy family who settled in the wilderness. The farm as it originally stood comprised one hundred and twenty acres of land, but the pioneer father and his sturdy sons continued to add to their holdings by purchase, until at the time of death of William Frushour, the home place aggregated some eight hundred acres of the most arable land in Cass county. Building work has been kept up on the place from year to year, and the dwelling and other buildings are of the most modern and approved type in all that makes for comfort and convenience.
William and Etta Frushour had three children. The eldest of these, Essie, married Edward Johnson, and they had two children,--Russell, born April 22, 1902, and Mary Hazel, born August 6, 1906. For her second husband Essie wedded Francis M. Bolton, September 25, 1912. Mr. Bolton is a native of Cass County, Indiana, born July 6, 1873, and educated in the common schools. He is an agriculturist and belongs to the Gleaners. Mr. and Mrs. Bolton reside in Bethlehem township. Frank was the second child of his parents. He was born in 1884, and died on January 17, 1912. Cecil, born in 1895, died on November 12, 1912.
Mrs. Frushour and her family were members of the Presbyterian church of Bethlehem township for many years and she maintained an active position in the various depaqrtments of the activities of that body. She was a woman of the most excellent traits of mind and heart, and was a leader in thought and action in her community, where her accomplishments gained her an enviable position in the esteem of her many friends and aquaintances.
Mr. Frushour passed away at his home on December 7, 1909, at the ge of fifty-five years, and his death is still felt in a community that had known him intimately all his life and which recognized his many splendid qualities and his worthy and consistent life. Mrs. Frushour departed this life January 19, 1913, and she was interred in Mount Hope cemetery, Logansport, Indiana.

(Witness) BioRobert F. Frushour. One of the citizens of Cass county who began their career in primitive and often times log cabin homes, to labor with courage and industry to develop a wilderness of forest into a broad landscape of farms, and have subsequently reaped the rewards of such diligence in ample material prosperity, is Mr. Robert Frushour of Harrison township, whose post office address is Logansport. This family is one of the oldest in Cass county, and two generations have assisted in the progress of this county.
Robert F. Frushour was born in Bethlehem township, Cass county, October 16, 1856. His parents were George V. and Charlotte (Rowan) Frushour. Both grandfather and father came to that county at a very early date from Virginia, where they bought a great deal of land, most of it from the government, and set to work with characteristics industry to develop homes out of the forest. The only roads in the country at that time were the rough trails blazed through the woods, and the pioneer scenes and difficulties, which are described on other pages of this history, were, almost without exception, experienced by the Frushour family during its career here. The brothers and sisters of Mr. Robert F. Frushour were as follows: Harmon T., whose first wife was Harriet Orwin and his second wife was Anna Turner, both himself, as also his wives, now being deceased; George, Jr., who married Lucy Thompson; William V., who married Etta Gundrum; Anna, who became the wife of Arthur Wells, and Ida, who was the wife of Ira Maudlin.
On February 18, 1880, Mr. Frushour married Miss Mary E. Brown. Her parents were Isaac and Elizabeth (Custer) Brown. One of her grandfathers was also named Simpson. Various members of her family became early residents of Cass county, having located here during the decade of the early forties. The brothers and sisters of Mrs. Frushour were as follows: George, who married Effie Schilling; Albert, who died at the age of forty-two; Samuel, who married Anna Newberry; Jay, who died at the age of thirty-one years, unmarried; Nancy, who married John M. LaRose. The father of Mrs. Frushour died in 1872 and her mother passed away in 1884.
Mr. Frushour and wife were the parents of the following children: Della, born August 18, 1881, is now the wife of John Spencer; Olive, born May 27, 1883, married Lora Early, and Lottie, born July 24, 1888, married Harley Moore. Industry and thrifty management have been characteristic of Mr. Frushour's career throughout his many years of activity s a farmer. He has been the owner of three different farms in this immediate section of the county, and has improved them all with excellent buildings, and other facilities for high-class agriculture. At the present time, he is just completing the building and general improvement of his third farm. Much of the land has been cleared by his own labor, or under his immediate supervision, and he is a farmer who has never relaxed his attention to business, and keeps all his interests to the highest point of efficiency. He still works untiringly, and his prosperity is well deserved and earned. He and his family are members of the Presbyterian church. His pretty home is known as "Forest Glenn," located about five miles from the city of Logansport.
