Rush R. Huston
Rush R. Huston, proprietor of a Sugarcreek township farm on rural mail route No. 12 out of Dayton, was born in that township and has lived there all his life. He is the third in order of birth of the five children born to John and Eunice (Lambertson) Huston, the former of whom was also born in Sugarcreek township and is still living there. John Huston is a son of William Huston, who was one of the pioneer farmers of that neighborhood, having established his home there after his marriage. He came over here from Montgomery county, where he was born. William Huston was twice married. By his second marriage he had one son, William F. Huston, who is living on the old Huston home place and further mention of whom is made elsewhere in this volume. By his first marriage William Huston was the father of five children, of whom John Huston, the third in order of birth, is now the only survivor, the others having been James, Michael, Sarah and Philena.
John Huston married Eunice Lambertson and to that union were born five children, namely: Nettie, who married A. C. Burgert and has seven children; Nora, who married William Bense and has two children; Rush R., the immediate subject of this biographical sketch; Beryl, now deceased, who was the wife of William B. Hawker and had one child, and Marcena, who married F. J. Hawker, of Beavercreek township, and has two children.
Rush R. Huston was reared on the home farm in Sugarcreek township, received his schooling in the neighborhood schools, and has been a farmer all his life. After his marriage he established his home on the farm on which he is now living and has since resided there. His wife, who before her marriage was Elizabeth Lenz, also was born in this county, daughter of William and Charlotte (Garlaugh) Lenz, the former of whom is deceased and the latter of whom is still living in Beavercreek township. Mr. and Mrs. Huston have four children, Viola May, Paul Leroy, Charlotte and Doris. Another child, John. died in infancy.
