W. J. Fuston, farmer and miller, was born at Gath, Tenn., June
26, 1838, and is the son of Samuel and Nancy (Mullican) Fuston.
The father was born near Knoxville, Tenn., November 8, 1807,
and by occupation a farmer, is still living at Gath, Tenn.,
where he came in 1833. He is a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, and is very quiet and reserved in his
habits. The mother was born in Warren County, Tenn., in 1802 and
died in 1863. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South. Our subject, the fourth of five children, left
home at the age of eighteen, and settled where Gath now is, and
largely made Gath what it now is. Besides his occupation as
farmer, in 1879 he engaged in mercantile pursuits at Gath, and
was appointed postmaster there. In September, 1886, he moved to
his present location, and built his mill, and now besides this
business, he contemplates going into mercantile business at his
home. He is a self-made man, beginning with nothing, but now
owning 250 acres in Warren County, his mill costing $4,100, and
$1,000 worth of stock in the Tullahoma National Bank. He is a
member of the Christian Church. March 5, 1855, he married
Catherine, daughter of Hamilton and Sallie Neal, and born in
Warren County August 20, 1839. She is a member of the Christian
Church. Their six children are Mary E., Samuel, Hamilton T.,
William N., Bell D. and Authur. Mr. Fuston is a member of the I.
