- Another Crawford County history has the following biography:
"L. C. Hurst. The prosperity of any community is measured by the standing and reliability of its representative men, and Hutsonville Township, Crawford County, is particularly fortunate in numbering among its residents some who have been in business for more than a quarter of a century, steadily building up a large trade and firmly establishing themselves in the confidence of their fellow citizens. Such a desirable condition of affairs has not been reached, however, without energetic effort, hard work and good management, and the success attained is therefore all the more creditable. Among those who have been thus successful is L. C. Hurst, who was born in Hutsonville, Ill., March 16, 1854. Mr. Hurst attended the district school in his native town, and later entered Earlham College, at Richmond, Ind., from which he was graduated at the age of twenty-one years. At this time he was admitted to the old established firm of Hurst & Olwin, the firm name becoming Hurst Brothers in 1880. This business, which has been one of the leaders in its line for nearly thirty years, is devoted to general merchandising and grain trade, and commands a large patronage throughout Crawford County. Mr. Hurst is one of the wealthy and influential citizens of the County, and has the confidence and respect of all who have came in contact with him. He holds the patent and owns the land purchased by his grandfather, Major John W. Barlow, a tract of 140 acres. Although a staunch Democrat in political matters, he has never aspired to public office. He is a Campbellite in religious belief and fraternally, is connected with Woodland Camp, No. 2756, Modern Woodmen and Robert Bruce Lodge, No. 191 Knights of Pythias of Robinson. On November 11, 1880, Mr. Hurst was married at the residence of his bride's father, at York, Clark County, Ill., by Elder W. F. Black, deceased, who was a noted Evangelist of Chicago, to Minnie Patterson who was born in Nelson County, Ky., September 19, 1860, a daughter of John and Susan (Gibbs) Patterson, natives of the State of Maine. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hurst: Roscoe Patterson, November 18, 1882; and Wilbur Randolph, November 11, 1885. Roscoe Patterson Hurst attended the Terre Haute (Ind.) High School, DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind., and Notre Dame University, South Bend Ind., where he received his diploma in law, June 12, 1906. Since that time he has been engaged in the practice of his profession, in Portland, Ore. Wilbur Randolph Hurst is a graduate of Union Christian College of Merom, Ind., having graduated there from June 12, 1906, and he is now attending Rush Medical College, Chicago, where he is in his junior year. Mr. Hurst and family occupy as their home in the village of Hutsonville, a handsome residence, surrounded by beautiful shade trees and other improvements."
