His mother was of English descent and born in Scott County, Ky. in 1792. The father, Levin Busick, and the mother, Charlotte (Dingle) Busick, were married in 1812. Levin Busick served as a soldier in the War of 1812. Joseph W. Busick, the fifth son of Levin and Charlotte Busick, was born in Scott County, Ky., February 22, 1830. While he was but an infant, his parents removed with him to Fayette County, Ind. Thence in 1837 they came to Wabash County, and since that time almost continuously he has been identified with her interests and history. By his industry and good management he has contributed not a little to the prosperity of the county, and aided by others, good men and true, has given her an enviable name among the sisterhood of counties in Indiana. As a farmer's boy, he realized how stuborn the contest through which Nature yields herself to cultivation. In 1847 he sought more congenial employment as a clerk in a dry goods store, at a salary of $100 a year, boarding himself. In March 1850 he went by the overland route to California; but his golden anticipations were not realized, and in 1852 he returned home by way of the Gulf, and then, with his brother Edward, entered into business as a hardware merchant. At the end of five years he sold out his share of the concern, and in 1857 went into the dry goods business with Thomas W. King as a partner [see memorial #42634500]; but in 1861, closing his connection with T.W. King, he, in 1863, engaged in the same line of business with his brothers, E.D. and S.A. Busick. In 1868, his partnership was dissolved, and he continued alone in business until 1873 when he sold out, having in view a trip to California, which he accomplished the following year, realizing, in his rapid transit by rail, the vast improvement a quarter of a century had made in spanning a continent and annihilating space. In the fall of 1874 he bought property in Quincy, Ill. and removed thither; but in 1877 he returned to Wabash and aided in the organization of the Wabash County Bank, of which he became President and which position he still holds. In March 1883, in addition to banking, he engaged in the mercantile busienss with his sons, Allen G. and Gillan D. Busick. He was first married July 8, 1855 to Miss Maggie Dingle of Fayette County, Ky. and she dying in 1862 he married again October 13, 1875 Miss Kate M. Markley of Peru, Ind. He has two sons - Allen G. and Gilland D. - and one daughter, Maggie. If success be the difference between possibilities and results, Joseph W. Busick must be regarded as a successful man. From an insignificant beginning, he has accumulated a handsome fortune. He has a landed estate of 400 acres in this county, and is worth at least $100,000. While Mr. Busick himself speaks of the matter of his wealth with diffidence, yet it is but proper that a note should be made of it, that the youth of his county may be stimulated to emulate the industry and thrift that brought about its accumulation. In the brief interviews the writer has had with Mr. Busick, he judges him to be a man of sterling qualities, courteous manners and of quick discernment in business matters.
