WILLIAM HENRY KISHBAUGH was born in WYOMING COUNTY, PA.  A decade after the
Civil War he moved to Texas where he became a successful house builder in
Sequin and Gonzales.  In about 1901 he moved to Pasadena California and a
few years later to nearvy Azusa where he lived out the remainder of his life.
This is a transcription of a 1931 newspaper article celebrating his 88th year.

This is an article from a 1931 Azusa California newspaper.

AZUSA CITIZEN IN 88th YEAR

W. H. KISHBAUGH, VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR, OBSERVES HIS NATAL DAY, RECEIVEING
GOOD WISHES FROM FRIENDS.

     The many friends of W.H. Kishbaugh, pioneer Azusa citizen, were
congratulating him a few days ago on having reached his 88th mile-srone on
the journey through life, his birthday having occurred on Tuesday, April 21.
     The day found him in fine health, despite his advanced years, and with
a philosophical, cheery outlook on life and well able to take his daily
walk to the business district from his home at 629 Angeleno Avenue, for a
chat with his friends.  He walks erect, his eye is clear and he looks many
years younger than the 88 years which Father Time chalked up to him last week.
     Mr. Kishbaugh was born in Pennsylvania and served four years in the Civil
War being one of the three surviving members of that memorable struggle,
yet living in Azusa, the other two being J.F. Templeman and Doc Thompson.
Mr. Kishbaugh served with the 52nd Volunteer Pennsylvania Infantry and took
part in many noted engagements.
     For many years after coming to Azusa nearly a quarter of a century ago,
Mr. Kishbaugh was engaged in carpenter work and has a total of 74 houses
to his credit in this city and four in Baldwin Park.  He has two children
living, Mrs. Kishbaugh passing away here some six years ago.  The children
are Blanche Easley (Eagen) of Azusa and George Kishbaugh of Hayden, Arizona.
