MAISH, David
Few men in Clinton county are as well known as the subject of this biography, and to him as much as to any one man is the county largely indebted for its present advanced stage of civilization and the position it occupies among the most highly favored sections of the commonwealth of Indiana. David Maish, Sr., father of our subject, was born in York county, Pa., and his mother, whose maiden name was Hannah TYSON, was also a native of the Keystone state. David Maish, Sr., was one of the early settlers in Clinton county, moving to the same in the year 1836, accompanied by a family of ten children, whose names are as follows: Sarah, George, Jacob, David, Matthias, Joseph, Catherine, Hannah, Henry, and Frederick. One child, Lydia, died in Pennsylvania, and four children were added to the family after their arrival in Indiana, to-wit --- Mary J., Elizabeth, Martha and James D. Mr. Maish arrived in Clinton county six years after its organization, and the country being then new, he had a prodigious amount of hard labor to perform before he could make his investment profitable. The land upon which he settled was covered with a dense forest growth, and he was obliged to work early and late in order to remove the same and fit the soil for cultivation. With a large family to support, his prospects were often discouraging, but, undaunted by his situation, he persevered courageously until his efforts were ultimately crowned with success. In his day, Mr. Maish was a very active participant in all measures for the improvement of the county, and he is remembered as one of the potent factors in the material advancement of the country. He departed this life on the thirtieth day of May, 1868, after a residence of thirty-two years in the county, and his wife died in 1880.
