Dr. Charles Marion Lusk was born in Edwardsville, March 18, 1821; he was the son of John T. Lusk, a native of South Caroline, whose ancestors had fought in the Revolutions, and who was himself a soldier in the war of 1812 and in the Black Hawk war. Dr. Lusk was educated at McKendree College, Lebanon, Illinois, and graduated in medicine at Louisville, Kentucky. In 1841, he began the practice in Marine, where he also owned a small farm but soon came to Edwardsville, where he followed his profession until 1849, when he crossed the plains to California. While there, he was engaged by a Mexican planter to go to Mexico, to fight some epidemic fever, for which he was paid $100 a day. Returning to California he located in San Francisco for a few years and returned to Edwardsville, via Panama in 1855, where he conducted a successful practice and was considered a physician of superior attainments. He was a handsome, cultured gentleman, a great reader of English literature and the classics, especially Latin, and spoke both French and Spanish Fluently. He died in Edwardsville in June, 1863, at the home of his eldest sister, Mrs. Sara J. Torrence, and was buried in the old Lusk cemetery.
