"John P. Thrasher The late John P. Thrasher, a one-time lawyer, a veteran of the Civil War and for years a substantial and influential farmer in Fairview township, this county, was born in that township and there spent practically all his life, his death occurring near the old Thrasher homestead on March 9, 1906. He was born on November 23, 1838, a son of the Hon. Woodson W. and Barbara (Daubenspeck) Thrasher, natives of Kentucky and representatives of pioneer families in this part of the state, both having been but children when their respective parents came to Indiana and settled in Rush county, near the Fayette county line. ... To the union of Woodson W. Thrasher and Barbara Daubenspeck eight children were born, of whom the subject of this memorial sketch was the third in order of birth, and all of whom grew to maturity, the others being William M., Elizabeth, Marion, Harriet, Sarah, Allen B. and Olive. John P. Thrasher grew up on the home farm at Fairview and after completing the course in the old Fairview Academy entered the Cincinnati Law School, from which he was graduated in due time, and in 1859 opened an office for the practice of his profession at Kokomo, this state, and was thus engaged there at the time of the breaking out of the Civil War. He enlisted in Captain Hanna's company of the Sixteenth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served for nearly two years as a soldier of the union, the most of this time being attached to the quartermaster's department, with headquarters in Maryland. It was during the progress of the war, September 11, 1862, that Mr. Thrasher was married, at Cincinnati, to Rebecca L. Walker, of that city. At that time Cincinnati was being threatened by a raid under Gen. Kirby Smith and a rigid guard had been thrown around the city, no one being permitted to enter or depart save under the strictest military regulations and Mr. Thrasher was compelled to give bond in the sum of three thousand dollars before being permitted to enter the city to claim his bride. Instead of resuming his law practice at Kokomo, upon completing his military service, Mr. Thrasher established his home on the old Thrasher homestead in Fairview township, this county, after his marriage and there spent the remainder of his life successfully engaged in farming. He was a member of the Christian church and, fraternally, was affiliated with the Masonic order, in the affairs of which he took a warm interest. John P. Thrasher died on March 9, 1906, and his widow is still living at Fairview. ... To John P. Thrasher and wife two children were born, George W., who married Mrs. Margaret DePoute and now lives in Los Angeles, California, where he is engaged in the railway service, and Ada, who married Miles H. Daubenspeck, now farming the old Thrasher farm, and has one child, a son, Walker. ...". [1917 Barrows History of Fayette Co. IN pp. 778, 780, 781.]
