*******************
William Henry Troup, a farmer and stock-raised of German township, is well known as a leading citizen of Marshall county, and is now filling the office of county commissioner, He was born in Elkhart county, Indiana, October 6, 1862.
His father, John B Troup, was an early farmer of that County and was a carpenter by trade. His birth occurred in Canada, where he was reared and educated and in that land he married Miss Elizabeth Sherk, also a native of Canada. On coming to Indiana, John B Troup settled in Elkhart county when it was still a pioneer district and there in the midst of the forest he cleared and developed a farm, aiding in the reclamation of the wild land for the uses of the white race.
He spent the last three years of his life in Marshall County. In his family were nine children, five sons and four daughters.
William H Troup, the youngest of his father's children, was reared and educated in Elkhart County and received thorough training in the work of the farm.
Ere leaving the county of his nativity he was married in 1884 to Miss Sarah Dausman, who was born in that County and was of German lineage. They became the parents of one son, Albert.
The wife and mother died on the 17th of August 1891, and in 1893 Mr Troup was again married, his second union being with Miss Anna Herriman, who was born in German township, Marshall County.
It was in the year 1890 that William H Troup came to Marshall County and located upon the farm, which has since, been his place of residence. He bought eighty acres of land and in the midst of the green woods developed a home. Clearing away the timber, he prepared the land for the plow, enhanced its productiveness by ditching and drainage and as the years have gone by he has cultivated his fields and made all of the improvements upon his place, including the erection of the dwelling, the barns and sheds that furnish ample shelter for grain and stock. In his work he has shown remarkable skill and unfaltering industry, making a farm out of a place that had been condemned and shunned as worthless land. In addition to his home place he bought twenty acres of, land but has since sold that tract. He possesses the resolute spirit that enables him to carry forward to successful completion whatever he undertakes and he is accounted one of the leading businessmen and enterprising citizens of Marshall County.
Mr Troup has followed in the political footsteps of his father and has given unfaltering support to the democracy. From early manhood he has been deeply interested in the political questions and situation of the country and is recognized as one of the local leaders in party ranks. In 1901 he was elected road supervisor and in 1904 was chosen county commissioner. He has been very active, in the party, and his service in public office has been characterized by the utmost fidelity to duty. He is a member of the German Baptist church and a man whose honesty of purpose and fidelity to principle are above question.
