WILLIAM G. JAMISON, Auditor of Washington County, is a son of Joseph and
Margaret (Gilchrist) Jamison, and is a native of the county in which he
now resides.  Joseph Jamison was born in Kentucky, January 29, 1811, a son
of Garrett Jamison, who removed with his family to the Hoosier State in
1817, and where he and wife both died.  Joseph and wife were the parents
of William G. and Polly Ann (now Mrs. M. L. Ribelin), and they are yet
living on the farm entered by Joseph's father.  William G. Jamison was
raised on the old homestead, but unlike his father in one respect, he
secured a good practical education.  He farmed and taught school for a
number of years, and in 1860, was united in marriage with Margery Davis,
by whom he became the father of five children named:  Samuel J., now a
cell guard at the State Prison; John W., a merchant at Rich Hill, Mo.;
Jerry M.; Melvedia and Winfield, deceased.  The mother died September 17,
1880, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.  On Christmas, 1882, Mr.
Jamison married his present wife, who was Mary E. Smith.  Until his
election as County Auditor in 1878, he resided in Monroe Township, and for
fourteen years served as trustee.  After one term as Auditor, he was
re-elected and is now serving his second term.  As a Democrat in politics
he has been out-spoken and unswerving in the principles advocated by his
party, and his official record as well as his private life is without a
blemish.  He belongs to the I. O. O. F., the Masonic and the K. of P.
fraternities.
