Boschong Subscribers, Here's a little more on Andrew Bushon who was born in Columbiana County, Ohio and died in Hancock County. See BOSCHONG Archives for April 2009, March 2011 and May 2011 for further information. Daniel Bushong of a previous obit was married to Elizabeth Hisey but keep in mind that Andrew Bushong was also married to Mary Hisey and they were both related to Mrs. Will Altaffer of the obit below. That's probably why I am not so quick to jump on the bandwagon of this Andrew being the son of Daniel. He may well be but I need solid proof which so far as not been found. ----------------------- 1860 Federal Census: Ohio New Lisbon, Columbiana County Enumerated 18 June 1860 Page Lines 5-9, HH 524/517 A.

Mr. Bushon was a pioneer of Hancock county, having resided in this city for nearly fifty years. He was born in Columbiana County and came here forty-seven years ago. During a long and busy life he was engaged in mercantile and manufacturing and became one of the best known men in this county, but of late years was little seen in public places. His widow, his second wife, and one son survive him. The funeral will be held from his late residence at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. Rev. Havighorst is officiating. The Morning Republican Saturday, 26 April 1902 Page 3 ANDREW BUSHONG'S FUNERAL The funeral of Andrew Bushong, held from his late residence on Main Cross Street, Friday afternoon, was well attended by friends and relatives. Floral offerings were sent by numerous friends and organizations, among them the W. C. T. U. and the executive board of the Home and Hospital. The music was exceptionally grand and the remarks by the Rev. Havighorst were especially appropriate. He took for his text the words of Job: "I would not live always." He spoke of Mr. Bushong's life as having been complete and finished as well as exemplary. The following relatives from a distance were in attendance: Daniel Bushong, a nephew of Mr. Bushong of Columbiana; John Yates and Mrs. J. H. Sherwood, brother and sister, James Randall and daughter, Mrs. Will H. Altaffer of West Unity; Mrs. Faucolt R. Stillman of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Mrs. Clara Poucher of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Mrs. Clara Harring, Mrs. Alex Anderson and Miss Helen Anderson of Toledo and George P. McClellan of Columbus, Ohio.
