Ausbun Rudd, of Clay Township, Hendricks County, Ind., is one of the leading business men of Amo. He is the proprietor of the largest saw-mill, and is the most extensive dealer in lumber in Hendricks County. He was born in Franklin Township, on his father's farm, December 14, 1851, son of James Rudd, the son of Ausbun Rudd, who was from Kentucky, and who settled in Hendricks County, Liberty Township, in 1835. He believes that his great-grandfather came from Spain as a boy, and settled in America. Ausbun Rudd, our subject, received the usual education, was reared a farmer, and married, at the age of twenty-one years, Olive J., daughter of Rev. William D. Trester, an Evangelical Lutheran minister of Hendricks County. For two years after his marriage Mr. Rudd farmed in Hendricks County, and then, in 1876, began to buy oak timber and rive it into headings, and followed this for one year, and then engaged in the saw-mill business in company with his father in the south part of Hendricks County; after one year they moved to the edge of Putnam County and remained two years. Mr. Rudd was then west one season and returned and settled near Coatesville, and there engaged by buying timber and manufacturing various kinds of lumber. In 1882 he began buying timber for H.C. Long, of Indianapolis, and remained with him eighteen months, and then traveled one season in Tennessee and Arkansas, prospecting and buying timber for Russee, Latham & Burgess, of Indianapolis. He then engaged in the timber business at Amo, and in 1889 bought a saw-mill ten miles north of Indianapolis and ran this three years, and then hired his present mill in August, 1892; ran this one year, and then bought it and has since been extensively engaged. He keeps in employment twenty-five men, and turns out 140,000 feet of timber monthly, running a planer and two dimension saws, and turning lathes, gig saws and molding machinery. He builds houses complete, and does all the ornamental work. He also carries a full line of sashes, doors and builder's materials, including hardware, and runs his own blacksmith shop. Mr. Rudd ships lumber, extensively, to all parts of the country, and his business is on the increase. He is a very capable business man of force and energy, and has a large amount of capital invested in his business. He is a Republican in politics and a member of the I.O.O.F., Amo lodge, No. 701, and is its secretary; also a Mason, and has filled all the offices in his lodge, up to and including senior warden. He is a member of the Knights of Honor and was secretary of his lodge. Mrs. Rudd is a member of the Lutheran Church. They have four children, Virley R., Virgie R., Virnie R. and Irvie R. Mr. Rudd has recently erected a tasteful residence at Amo, is a man of integrity of character, and stands high for his business ability and energy..
