He cut the mill-racethrough the rocks and erected a large and complete flouringestablishment, and shortly there after built a packing house; engagedextensively in shipping grain, pork, and flour to New Orleans, andforward as high as twenty flat boats annually. In 1822, Solmon cameto Parke County and settled on land that is now, "Turkey Run StatePark". In 1841, he built his home out of brick and entirely out ofmaterial found in Parke County. Through the years it (the park) hasbeen host to many legends. The house has been recently restored andis open to the public (c.1983). In the basement is the Lusk and CloreHistory. [The house is open at certain times of the year, and theState has historical tours that can be enjoyed by the public.]

JOHN LUSK: ENIGMA by Russell L. Hamm
Excerpt: "Salmon Lusk, John's father, who died August 28, 1869, inhis will provided that two beds and bedding and two cows should begiven his wife; $200 to his son William; $200 to his son John.
After the payment of these bequests, he expressed the desire that hisreal and personal estate be converted into money and divided betweenhis children Susan Lusk, Elizabeth Brewer, Lydia Brown, and thechildren of his deceased daughter, Mary Clore. (A son, Salmon Lusk,Jr., was killed in the Battle of Thompson Station, Springhill,Tennessee, and a little daughter Caroline, who died at 2 years, 9months, and 2 days on November 12, 1842 is buried just to the south ofthe Lusk home.)
Mary Beard Lusk, John's mother, to whom he was devoted lived until1880; and after that, few people saw the interior of the house, whereJohn continued to live alone. It has been written that he boarded upthe windows of his mother's room lest some unfriendly eye gaze on herpossessions." Etc..."Most amazing was a letter from Salmon Lusk,Sr.'s mother to her son, dated June 4, 1816, from Carleton, Vermont."
NOTE: John Lusk was the son of Salmon Lusk, Sr. See notes of JohnLusk.

THE DAILY CLINTONIAN NEWSPAPER, CLINTON, VERMILLION COUNTY, INDIANA;"LUSK HOUSE RECALLS STATE'S PAST"; TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1983; byConstance Kay Swaim
EXCERPTS PERTAINING TO GENEALOGY: "Turkey Run State Park...SalmonLusk was born in 1788 in Rutland County, Vermont, just a year beforeGeorge Washington became president. As a young man he traveled westand enlisted in the army at Terre Haute. Lusk fought for two yearsunder the command of William Henry Harrison during the War of 1812....after the war Lusk bought land in the Brouilletts Creek area ofVermillion County and became interested in the milling business andthe miller's daughter. In 1819 he married Mary (Polly) Beard, thedaughter of a local mill operator. Later he decided to start his ownmilling operation, and in 1822 he entered his first claim in ParkeCounty at the Narrows area of Sugar Creek. Lusk built a mill in 1826just up stream from where the Narrows Bridge now stands. A thrivingcommunity developed around the mill, which included a store, tavern,and warehouse. Salmon and Mary Lusk had five daughters and threesons, one daughter, Caroline, died at age 2 and is buried near thehouse. A son Salmon, "Solly" Jr., died in 1863 at the battle ofThompson station in Tennessee....after his son's death, Salmon boughtmany war bonds to show his patriotism. When Lusk first moved to thearea he built a log cabin, but as his family grew, Lusk made plans tobuild a new home. He chose a hill overlooking the mill, and the househe built there in 1841 is still standing (You can tour this hometoday.) Salmon Lusk built his home from local material. He usedlumber from Tulip, oak, and black walnut trees. The foundation wallswere made of mortared sandstone, quarried near the home. Bricks whichwere kilned on the site, cover the outside of the house. Salmon diedin 1869, at that time his son, John, returned home to take care of hismother. There are many stories about the eccentricities of John Lusk. He was a semi-recluse who discouraged visitors, especially women.But due largely to his efforts Turkey Run (State Park) remains what itis today. "John was the last member of the (immediate) family to livehere (some descendants did however to care for the place). It wasbecause of his love for the timber that Turkey Run was saved,"...Johnrefused many offers from timber companies eager to buy the untouchedtimber land. He did let people wander over his land, and in 1881 heleased some of it to the Indianapolis, Decatur and SpringfieldRailroad for use as a summer resort known as Bloomingdale Glen. AfterJohn's death in 1915 a drive was started,...to make the area a statepark. After John died, ..., no one lived in the house until the1960's when caretakers moved in to prevent vandalism. (NOTE: This isinaccurate to say the least. It is a known fact amongst familymembers that descendants did stay in the house from time to time,including an aunt & uncle of this compiler--Roy Paul & Vera EllenElkins Paddock--which I'm sure could be verified with postal recordsthat others did occupy the house and property over the years. Theproblem was that not enough family members took an interest in keepingthe property up. it was drafty and cold in the winter months.)....Beginning last year, the park began giving tours to thehome....Upstairs on the first floor visitors can look through thefamily Bible where Mary Lusk's death is recorded....The family parloralso on the ground floor is where John spent many of his later years.This room contains a pie safe and ledger belonging to the Luskfamily...."

"LUSK, William. This name will be recognized by our readers as thatof a gentleman who has borne an important part in the development ofthe agricultural resources of Washington Township, Parke County. Heis a son of Solomon and Mary Beard Lusk, and was born in VermillionCounty December 7, 1825. The former parent was born in PoltneyRutland County, Vermont, where he grew to manhood, remaining with hisparents until reaching maturity. He was of Irish and English descent. In 1816 he went to Fort Harrison, Indiana, and soon after entered theUnited States service under General Harrison, where he remained fortwo years, during which time he suffered an attack from the Indians.After he left the US service he purchased a farm in Bruit's Creek,Vermillion County, but in a few years sold this tract and came toParke County, where he bought a farm on Sugar Creek and ran a sawmillfor 21 years. During all these years, he managed to accumulate landuntil he had about 3000 acres which he entered from the Government,besides 900 acres which he bought of the Chief Black Hawk in Iowa.About the year 1818 Mr. Beard, our subject's grandfather, went withhis family to Ft. Harrison where his son-in-law had settled and therelocated. Solomon Lusk was married about 1820 to a daughter of JohnBeard, of Maryland. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.Politically he was a Whig, and in later years took his stand with theRepublicans. He fought gallantly in the late struggle between theNorth and South and when Lincoln issued the call for recruits he wasactively engaged in reinforcing the army. At this time his sonSalmon, who was afterward killed in a battle fought at ThompsonStation near Nashville was enlisted. The father of our subject wasthe first to purchase Government bonds sold in the county at the timeof the war. To himself and wife 10 children were born, four of whomare yet living: William; John; Lydia and Susan. He died at age 82,his wife surviving him some years. William Lusk took charge of partof his father's business at the age of 25. His educationaladvantages, which were limited, were received in the district schoolsof this township. At the time when the gold fever was prevalentthroughout the country he was seized with a desire to go toCalifornia, and in 1849, with a company known as the Illinois &Springfield, he started across the plains in March, and after acomparatively uneventful journey of 7 months, arrived in the GoldenState. For some months he was engaged in the mines on the Middle Forkof the American River, where he was moderately successful.Subsequently he embarked as "mine host" in the hotel business, whichproved even more profitable than was his former occupation. After asojourn in the western states of 3 and 1/2 years, during which timehis life was made up of alternate days of sunshine and shadow, ofencouragements and discouragements, our subject boarded the steamer."Winfield Scott," and sailed to Panama, thence taking the "NorthernLight" to NY city. After his return home he attended the WavelandSchool for two terms, remaining at home with his father until hismarriage to Sarah DAVIS. This union has been blessed by the birth of8 children: four of whom died in childhood. Those living are: DeWitt;Chancey; Arthelia and Lindell J. Arthelia is the wife of NathanWoods. Socially Mr. Lusk is a prominent member of the Ancient Free &Accepted Masons. Politically he was formerly a Republican, but is nowa strong Prohibitionist. He has served the Republican party asdelegate to several state conventions. For a number of years he hasled a retired life, and in the last decade has traveled a great dealhis journeys covering over 7000 miles. He has visited almost everystate in the Union, including Canada and Mexico. He has spent anumber of winters in the sunny state of Florida, and is always readyto share the information thus gained with his associates. As acitizen of Washington Township, Mr. Lusk ranks among the most wealthyand cultured. At the present time he owns a large estate comprising600 acres of productive land. - Portrait & Biographical Record ofMontgomery, Parke & Fountain Counties, Indiana (Chapman, 1893 p 396)"[Transcribed 25 May 2008, SLJuhl, Compiler--sljuhl1234@yahoo.com]

(38 pages)
EXCERPTS:
Left Park(e) County, Indiana, for California March 21st 1849 incompany with John Ramsay, John Moor, Wm. Lusk, Wm. Inge and Wm. Smock,making six persons, with one wagon and six mules. Arrived St. Louis,278 miles, April 8th. (pg.1)
Left St. Louis April 10th and arrived at St. Joseph, 530 miles, April16th, making 808 miles from home. Etc?(pg 1)
May 6th; Sabbath. Moved two miles to a good camping ground and forthe purpose of meeting with the Springfield Company, consisting ofeight wagons and thirty-one men; our company of two wagons with elevenmen, making ten wagons and forty-two men. The wagons were loaded withfrom twenty-five to thirty-five hundred each. Etc?(pg. 1)
May 10th; Joined by a company of seven wagons and twenty-six men fromDayton, Ohio. Our company now consists of seventeen wagons andsixty-eight men. Etc?(pg. 2)
May 27th; Sabbath, did not travel. Had a pleasant day of rest and atfour o?clock in the afternoon had a sermon preached by a Presbyterianpreacher from Ohio. Had an excellent, practical sermon and anattentive audience. Moor no better. Etc?(pg. 5)
June 1st; Started this morning early and traveled a few miles up theriver, passing an encampment of Sioux Indians. They appearedpeaceable and wanted to sell us horses or anything they had forwhiskey, but we did not trade any with them. Etc?(pg. 6)
June 17th; Sabbath. The most important incident of today was thatsome hunters ran four buffalo into our camp. They were the first thatmost of us have had a plain view of, having seen them before at adistance. There was a good deal of excitement amongst us as the hugeanimals approached our camp in full lope. Every man was hurrying toprepare his gun for a shot and rushed out to meet them and as soon asthey came into shooting distance, every man fired away. One of thebuffalo was killed, the others wheeled off and made their escape.Etc?(pg. 9-10)
July 4th; This is the Great Day of American Independence and on whichour nation will meet in crowds to do honor to the day and to offerthanks to God for the gift. It is from necessity a day of rest withus and as a natural consequence, our minds carry us back to our fardistant homes and friends and relatives, whilst we cannot suppress asecret wish that we could spend this day with them. ?But alas, howfleet is a glance of the mind compared with the spread of its flight.The tempest itself lags behind and the swift winged arrows of light,for alas recollection at hand soon hurries us back to despair.? Weare much worried by the trials and fatigues of the long journey andthe immense numbers of immigrants who are upon the road makes itdoubly tiresome from the fact that they are constantly in each other?sway, and more particularly at the crossings of rivers and difficultplaces on the road; here at this time are two or three hundred wagonswith their accompanying teams and men and the ground is covered with acoat of light dust of two inches in depth, which the wind isconstantly carrying to and fro whilst the sun is pouring down hishottest rays upon us, and the wonder is that some of us only and notall of us are sick. The river at this place runs a south course andis a tributary of the Colorado which empties into the Gulf ofCalifornia. This river, as well as all others in the vicinity of theRocky Mountains, rises and falls alternately once in twenty fourhours, the rise commencing at twelve o?clock of the day and continuingtill twelve at night, when it commences falling. This ebb and flow isowing to the melting of the snow in the mountains and only takes placefor awhile about this season of the year. This evening at fouro?clock I with eleven other immigrants were called upon by the crowden mass to serve on a jury in a case of murder which had beencommitted about a week since, back at Devil?s Gate, and the criminalwas apprehended a short distance beyond this and brought back here fortrial, but the trial failed in consequence of the inability of GeneralSimonson of the U.S. Army and his officers, to whom the immigrantslooked for a fair investigation of the case, but soon after the trialcommenced they quarreled among themselves and came to blows, when thecourt broke up in a row, and the prisoner recrossed the river and wenton his way rejoicing. There is a general expression of disapprovalamongst the people at the result, and in this case we believe we see afair sample of the protection that we may expect of lives and propertyduring our residence in California. Thus ended the Fourth of July,1849 on Green River. (pgs 14-15) Etc
August 15th; Last night about midnight, the alarm of attack byIndians was given, the guard firing his gun calling for help. In ashort time all who could raise a gun were ready and marched forward inthe direction from which the alarm was given, and on reaching thesentinel, it was discovered that he had mistaken a mule for an Indianand had fired at it, but fortunately had missed his mark. He said hehad hailed it three times asking the watchword which it did not give,and then he fired and seeing that he had missed he called for help.There was a good deal of laughing done at his expense. This morningit was found that all were safe and well. We started early andfollowed the gorge all day, etc? (pg.26)
NOTE: Wm Lusk is mentioned several times in the journal along withAlex Ramsay's cousin John Ramsay. If you ever wanted to know what itwas like in the Westward Expansion to the Gold Fields of Californiafor settlers, this journal/diary is a wonderful piece of actualhistory. A movie screen writer would love it. It is full ofdescriptions and information and adventure. Even if you are notrelated in any way, this would make a wonderful history lesson foradults and children in bringing to life ?how it actually was? fortraveling settlers to the West in the mid-1800?s.

" John. 1837 - 1915
John was a bachelor and he inherited 1,000 acres when his father died. He didn't socialize much, these facts gave rise to many legends abouthim. It is said that after shearing a sheep he would pick it up withhis mouth, byt the tail and hurl it out the door. The house wasreportedly full of newspapers that lusk dicarded. He did not likestrangers. It is said that after meeting a stranger he would run homeand put camphor or skunk oil on his hair to off set any poison thatthe stranger might have given him. It is also thought that he went toCalifornia to pan for gold and there are rumors of buried treasure.Young boys could often be found around the house trying to get a lookat a man who was reported as being a giant. Although, he didn't likestrangers, he was said to be very generous to his few friends. One ofthe friends once said of him, "John Lusk was a very eccentriccharacter and lived the life of a recluse, he avoided the society ofall women and nearly all men. He had but few intimate friends, butwhat few he had were genuine and lasting." Lusk enjoyed lettingpeople walk through his woods as long as they weren't lumbermen. Noamount of money seemed to temp him into parting with his trees whichis why Lusk is credited for preserving much of what is now Turkey RunState Park." [Transcribed 31 July 2008, SLJuhl, Compiler]

ARTICLE:
THE DAILY CLINTONIAN NEWSPAPER OF CLINTON, VERMILLION COUNTY, INDIANA
DATED: MONDAY, APRIL 10, 1995; HEADLINE: "BETWEEN THE LINES" byG.L.C.; Pages 1, 4
"This is another of the columns written exclusively for The DailyClintonian by Russell Hamm, of Rosedale. Mr. Hamm has a hobby ofresearching interesting old towns and sites in Parke and VermillionCounties--GLC.
JOHN LUSK: ENIGMA by Russell L. Hamm
John Lusk was the son of Salmon Lusk and he was perhaps best known for"saving" the virgin timber, which is now a part of Turkey run StatePark. He was a unique person; and because many tales were told abouthim, he has become a legendary figure--and there is still mysteryabout his life.
In spite of protecting the forests, he did sell 30,000 of timber topay off a debt for making a fill for a fish pond and to change thepublic highway (Rockville Tribune, March 23, 1915, and Isaac Strouse,1916). The "muley" (portable) mill was erected a half mile south ofthe Narrows. (The earth fill can be seen on Trail 1 in Turkey RunState Park.)
How did John Lusk come into possession of the huge acreage on eitherside of Sugar Creek? the Rockville Republican (March 24, 1915)reported: "The Republican has been unable to find anyone who knowshow the reality came into the possession of John."
Salmon Lusk, John's father, who died August 28, 1869, in his willprovided that two beds and bedding and two cows should be given hiswife; $200 to his son William; $200 to his son John.
After the payment of these bequests, he expressed the desire that hisreal and personal estate be converted into money and divided betweenhis children Susan Lusk, Elizabeth Brewer, Lydia Brown, and thechildren of his deceased daughter, Mary Clore. (A son, Salmon Lusk,Jr., was killed in the Battle of Thompson Station, Springhill,Tennessee, and a little daughter Caroline, who died at 2 years, 9months, and 2 days on November 12, 1842 is buried just to the south ofthe Lusk home.)
Mary Beard Lusk, John's mother, to whom he was devoted lived until1880; and after that, few people saw the interior of the house, whereJohn continued to live alone. It has been written that he boarded upthe windows of his mother's room lest some unfriendly eye gaze on herpossessions.
It has been written (Parke Place, October, 1985) that "John Lusk oftenwould perch atop the covered bridge at the Narrow of sugar Creek ...If sightseers visited the Narrows ... and Lusk believed there was aMason among them, he would stand on the bridge roof and rant and raveagainst the order. He would then climax the tirade by leaping off thebridge into the creek. It was to be a demonstration of purificationfrom the fancied contamination of having a Mason on the property."(Alas, William, his brother, was a prominent member of the ancientFree and Accepted Masons.)
Guy T. Dooley tells about a visit to the John Lusk home (Parke Place,April 1982): "A man by the name of John Lusk owned turkey Run andmost of the land on both sides of Sugar Creek to the Narrows Bridge.His brick home was situated on a hill northwest of the bridge. Myfather was a livestock buyer, and I recall one time stopping by theLusk place to see if he was ready to sell his hogs. Mr. Lusk invitedmy father and I to have lunch with him. I recall we had hard-boiledeggs, ham and potatoes. Mr. Lusk kept newspapers piled about six toeight inches deep on the floors in the two rooms he lived in. he saidit kept the floors warm. there was a fire place in the gig room.When Mr. Lusk would return home from Rockville after paying his taxeshe would take a bath in Sugar Creek. He feared someone might havetossed poison on him, so he told us."
[Note: When my aunt & uncle, Roy Paul & Vera Ellen Elkins Paddocklived in the house in the 1950's, it was very drafty and hard to keepwarm in the winter months. When mother (Joyce Lorraine Clore Elkins) &myself toured the home in 1995 with the State Historical Guides,Rangers; It certainly was very interesting, and mother mentioned thatnot much had changed with the home. After speaking with the stateguides, Mother sent information to the State Historical Group for thefamily's Lusk & Clore genealogy history. SLJuhl, Compiler]
The Rockville Tribune (March 23, 1915) reported that John Lusk "a fewyears back would ride horseback from his home to Marshall, about fourmiles, put the animal in the livery stable, and walk seven miles toRockville, make purchases of groceries and remain upon the streetsuntil late at night when he would start afoot, with probably a hundredpounds on his shoulder, to Marshall, where he mounted his horse androde home."
There are at least two photographs of John Lusk in existence: Instature and countenance he recalls the white bearded Walt Whitman.Like him, he was unkempt and careless in his dress. And apparentlyJohn Lusk cared not at all about money.
John Lusk had a good education for that time and place--havingattended the Waveland Academy. He was well versed in Scripture--ableto quote passage after passage without error. He was a voraciousreader. He never threw anything away. He kept the letters home ofSalmon Lusk, Jr., killed in the Civil War, as well as his diary andpoetry. Most amazing was a letter from Salmon Lusk, Sr.'s mother toher son, dated June 4, 1816, from Carleton, Vermont.
It has been written that John Lusk was a recluse, a hermit. How couldthat be when he employed hired hands, when he had good friends likeWilliam Hooghkirk, who leased "Bloomingdale Glenns" (Turkey Run) fromhim?
The Rockville Tribune said of him: "If a man did John Lusk a favor henever forgot it--likewise hate lurked in his body like a mistreatedanimal."
With the death of his mother, there remained but one absorbinginterest for John Lusk: his beloved trees and nature as a whole."

DOREN CLORE - Conspicuous among the representative businessmen andpublic-spirited citizens of Montgomery County is the well-knowngentleman whose name forms the caption of this article. Doren Clore,agriculturist and hardware merchant in Waveland, Brown Twp, has madehis influence felt for good in his community, being a man of sterlingworth, whose life has been closely interwoven with the history of thecommunity in which he resides and whose efforts have always been forthe material advancement of the same, as well as for the social andmoral welfare of his fellow men, and the well regulated life he hasled, thereby gaining the respect and admiration of all his fellowcitizens, entitling him to representation in a biographical work ofthe scope intended in the present volume.
Mr. C. was b. in Montgomery Co, IN Nov 24, 1852. He is a son of Simeon& Mary (LUSK) Clore. The father was b. in the state of KY, in the year1821 and his death occurred May 27, 1902. The mother was b. in Indianain the year 1824 and her death occurred 1859. These parents receivedvery limited schooling; however, the father became a widely read man.He devoted his life successfully to general farming and stock raising.His family consisted of seven children, still living: Salmon; Joe;Julia Ann; Susan; Doren; Marvin and Mary. Five of them live in thisCounty.
Doren Clore was reared on the home farm and there he assisted with thegeneral work about the place when a boy, attending the common schoolsin the wintertime. He has been content to spend his life in MontgomeryCo. He was married Sept 1, 1881 to Molly E. GAINES of Boone CO Kyhaving been b. there on Feb 7, 1859. There she grew to womanhood andreceived a good common school education, subsequently attendingHamilton College at Lexington, thus becoming highly educated. She is adaughter of Alonzo and Mary (CHRISTY) Gaines. The father was b. Sept20, 1825 Boone Co KY and his death occurred Jan 26, 1885. The motherof our subject was also born in Boone Co Dec 1, 1826, and she wascalled to rest on March 10, 1874. Alonzo Gaines received a very goodeducation for those early days and he followed school teaching untilhis married, then turned his attention to farming and was verysuccessful as a general farmer and stock raiser. He was a loyalDemocrat, but he was not a public man, staying close to his work onthe farm. He and his wife were highly honored in their community,known for their hospitality and neighborliness. Regarding the latter,we quote the following lines that appeared in a home paper at the timeof her death: Died March 10, 1875 at her home in Boone Co, at the ageof 48 after an illness of several months, Mrs. Mary Gaines, wife ofAlonzo and daughter of Simeon and Olivia CHRISTY. Mrs. Gaines had beena member of the Christian Church for 17 years. She was a good and truewoman in all the walks of life, sympathizing and charitable, andillustrating in her own conduct all the higher Christian virtues. Shewas ever ready with means and counsel to assist all who laid claim toher aid or attention. As a Church member, she was the stay and supportof the weak and her wise counsel and affectionate admonitionsencouraged the doubting and the timid. It may truly be said of herthat she served well her Master. As a neighbor she will be sadlymissed from the community from whose midst she has been taken and as awife and mother her husband and children have been bereft of a trueand devoted friend whose equal they can never know on earth and forwhose loss there is no consolation save that to be found in thecontemplation of a happy meeting in the realms of eternal bliss whereher poor soul has found a resting place in the bosom of her God." Twochildren were born to Alonzo Gaines and wife, Molly E, wife of Mr.Clore of this review and Alonzo, Jr. The latter was b. May 27, 1861.He married Addie UTZ and he has continued to reside in Boone Co KYwhere he is engaged in farming. Doren Clore has devoted his activelife to general farming and stock raising in southwestern MontgomeryCo and now in addition he owns a 1/2 interest in a hardware store inWaveland. A large trade is carried on with the surrounding country,and as a farmer, he has been very successful. He lives in Wavelandwhere he has a fine modern home, attractive and commodious, containing10 neatly furnished rooms. Through his able management and closeapplication, Mr. C. has become one of the substantial men of hiscommunity. Politically, he is a Progressive. Mrs. Clore is a member ofthe Christian Church and is faithful in her support of the same."
