David Huston is by birth a Kentuckian, born in Nelson County January 21, 1814. He is a son of Jonathon and Margaret (Herron) Huston, who were natives of the Keystone State, from whence they removed at an early day, to Kentucky and from there, in 1825, to Bono Township, Lawrence Co., Ind. They were members of the Old School Presbyterian Church, and were honest and respected people. While on a visit to children in Iowa, Jonathon Huston died and was buried near Des Moines, while his wife lies sleeping her last sleep in the old homstead in section 25. Acquiring but a limited education in youth, David Huston selected farming for his lifes vocation, and has steadily followed that with unflagging interest. He cared for his parents until their respective deaths, and never marrying, is regarded with high esteem as a jolly old bachelor and an upright citizen. In politics he is an enthusiastic supporter of Republican principles, and contributes from his abundant resources in the support of the best interests of his country.
