Jonathan A Gushwa, a representative of one of the pioneer families of DeKalb Co, was born in Holmes Co, Ohio Jan 15, 1835 and was ten years of age when his parents moved to this county. His youth was spent in assisting his father clear and improve a frontier farm, and six months before his majority, his father gave him his time and he then worked for wages till the breaking out of the Rebellion. August 10, 1961, he enlisted in Company B, Twenty-ninth Indiana Infantry and served thirty-seven months. The first half of his service he was detailed teamster. He contracted erysipelas in his leg while in the army and has never fully recovered from its effects. After his return from the war he settled on the old homestead and took charge of the farm for his father till his marriage Jan 4, 1866 to Harriet Williams, daughter of David and Mary Williams. He then settled on a farm of his father's township, where he lived sixteen years, and then bought 40 acres of land, but three months later sold it and rented a farm of his brother for a year. Nov 1, 1883 he moved to the farm where he now lives, where he owns 80 acres of choice land, with a pleasant residence and good farm buildings. His wife died Jan 18, 1883 leaving two sons - Charles & Edward. Oct 4, 1883 he was married to Mrs. Margaret Jane Swinhart, sister of his first wife. Mr. Gushwa has been a prominent man in his township, and held several offices of trust and responsibility; among others those of Supervisor, Constable, Road Supervisor, and in the fall of 1884 was elected Justice of the Peace. In Politics he is a Democrat. He and his wife are members of the Albright Church. From another biography... In 1914, he was an old soldier living in Corunna & married. Maybe he's not buried in Fairfield Cemetery after all... It seems like I might have seen some Gushwa's near Corunna.
