He had eleven grandren and three great grandchildren of whom ninesurvive. He spent the early part of his life in the vicinity near hisbirth place, moving to Fountain County in 1905 where he spent theremainder of his life in his chosen agricultural career. The Luskfamily is one well known in Parke County history since the county wasorganized. Coming here at an early date their interests were closelyconnected with the development of the community. It is a fittingcircumstance that this last service should be held in this church,known as Lusk's Chapel, which was donated for church and cemeterypurpose by Salmon Lusk, pioneer settler and grandfather of Mr. ChancyLusk."
