William N. Huston, P. O., Cambridge. Was born in Augusta county Virginia, July 31, 1815, and came with his parents to Missouri in 1819, and settled in this county, where he was raised, and learned the saddler’s trade at Arrow Rock. He worked as journeyman, and then carried on the business for himself until the war broke out in 1861. He was married on the 4th of June, 1844, to Miss Mary J. Burke, and has four children now living, two sons and two daughters, also one grandson and two granddaughters. Since the war, Mr. Huston has devoted his entire attention to farming. Twice—in 1843 and 1844—he was driven from his home by the flood of the Missouri river. Part of his land was also inundated in 1881. Mr. Huston’s head is white with the snows of many winters, but he is still strong and vigorous, and enjoys the good will of his community.
