History of Lawrence, ORANGE, and Washington Counties, Indiana
Goodspeed Bros. & Co., Publishers - Chicago, 1884

           [581]

           GEORGE A. BUSKIRK, Auditor of Orange County, was born at
        Orangeville, Ind., May 25, 1857, a son of JOHN B. and MARIA H.
        (RITTER) BUSKIRK, appropriate mention of whom is made elsewhere
        in this volume.  In youth he assisted his father and attended
        the district schools, but afterward entered the State University
        at Bloomington, where he remained three years.  In 1875 he re-
        ceived the appointment of Deputy Clerk of the county, serving as
        such three years and one year longer as Deputy Auditor.  In 1880,
        when only twenty-three years of age, he was elected to the Auditor-
        ship of the county, being the youngest man ever elected to that
        position in Indiana.  In politics he is a stanch Democrat, taking
        an active interest in all matters of a public and beneficial
        character.  Miss DESSIE F. ALBERT, a native of Orange County,
        Indiana, became his wife on August 20, 1878, and HARRY and FRED
        are the names of their two children.  MR. BUSKIRK joined the
        I. O. O. F. in 1881 and one year later was made a Mason.  He cast
        his first Presidential vote for GENERAL HANCOCK in 1880.  He is
        at present Secretary of the Orange County Agricultural Society.
