WASHINGTION KUNS, who was born in Carroll County, Ind., December 24, 1833, is the youngest child born to Jacob and Nancy (Deel) Kuns. At the age of twenty-two he removed with his father from Carroll County to Cass County, Ind., and in the fall of 1855 located in Galveston, where he engaged in merchandising. A year later he returned to his father's farm in Noble Township, where he took charge of the home farm, in addition to which he was engaged in manufacturing interests in Logansport, and also dealt in livestock to some extent. In the spring of 1869 he immigrated to Polk County, Iowa, where he was for three years engaged in stock-raising. After spending one year in the stave business in Arkansas, he returned to Cass County, where he was employed in the capacity of a yard clerk for Messenger & Bevan, lumber dealers. In the spring of 1876 he removed to Monticello, Ind., where he engaged for nearly two years with Harbolt & Messenger, undertakers and lumbermen. He was then employed as bridge carpenter on the Pan Handle Railroad for a short time, and in the spring of 1879 located upon a farm in Section 33, Bethlehem Township, where he has ever since resided. Sarah J. Lowman, a native of Indiana, born June 10, 1834, became his wife August 29, 1854. She is the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Williams) Lowman, natives of Ohio. Mrs. Kuns died in Iowa August 14, 1871. January 2, 1876, Katie Hennick became his wife. She is a native of Pulaski County, Ind., born December 4, 1853, a daughter of Jacob and Barbara (Huddleston) Hennick, natives of Ohio. Mr. Kuns is a Mason, and politically a staunch Democrat, he having held the position of committeeman for his party in Noble Township for ten years; also held the same position three years in Bethlehem Township. He is one of the county's substantial citizens, and enterprising farmer and a highly esteemed friend and neighbor.
