DAVID FUDGE MAISH, son of Henry Maish, whose biography is given above, was
born in Clinton county, Ind., August 19, 1859, where he was reared to farming
and where he received a very good common school education. After reaching his
majority he farmed for two years on his own account and then took an agency
for the Western Publishing House of Chicago, in whose interests he traveled as
salesman or canvasser for such works as the "Royal Path of Life" and others of
equal merit, through Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and other states, clear
through to California, meeting with abundant success for four years. After
this extensive tour through the country, Mr. Maish returned to his native
county, where he is now engaged in raising small fruit, in which he is as
successful as he had been in his former business. December 25 (Christmas
day), 1889, Mr. Maish was married to Miss Florence May Pauley, who has become
the happy mother of two children Mary Elizabeth and Luella Pearl. Mr. and
Mrs. Maish are reputable members of the Methodist church and equally reputable
in society circles. Mr. Maish is also an honored member of the Improved Order
of Red Men and the Patrons of Husbandry. In politics Mr. Maish is a
prohibitionist, having severed his political relations with the democratic
party in the campaign of 1886. Since that time he has served his party as
county chairman for six consecutive years, and was its candidate for county
representative in 1890. He is a man of strong convictions, a forceful and
eloquent speaker, and one who will command respect among his fellow citizens
in any department of life.
