Joseph Ruston (1835 – 11 June 1897) was an English engineer and manufacturer and Liberal Party politician, though he split from the party over Home Rule and retired.〔obit. The Automotor and Horseless Carriage Journal, June 1897, p367〕 Ruston was the son of Robert Ruston a farmer of Chatteris, Isle of Ely and his wife Margaret Seward. He was educated at Wesley College, Sheffield and became an apprentice at the Sheffield cutlery firm of George Wostenholme. On completing his apprenticeship in 1856 with a good commercial training and having a modest inheritance from his father's estate he went into business with Burton and Proctor of Lincoln. He thus became head of the firm of Ruston, Proctor and Company, agricultural implement makers and engineers.〔(Ray Hooley's - Ruston-Hornsby - Engine Pages )〕 In 1870 Ruston was Mayor of Lincoln. He was also a J.P..〔(Debretts Guide to the House of Commons 1886 )〕 Ruston was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Lincoln in a by-election in June 1884.
