Boschong Subscribers, Many of you may not be aware that there are many diaries floating around Shenandoah County written by people who lived in the Valley that tells us a lot about every day life, the births, deaths and marriages of the people they knew. Some are in private collections, some are in libraries and some are just owned by family members. I recently transcribed Mattie Bushong Good's diaries which had been stored in the attic of Anderson Bushong's home for years. Mattie died in 1955. Levi Pittman kept such a diary. He was born in 1807 and died in 1892 in Shenandoah County. He was well known in the Valley and was married to Rachel Windle, d/o of Augustine. Although we still do not know where Andrew Bushong is buried, we do know, thanks to Levi Pittman, that Andrew Bushong was buried 24 January 1853 as Levi states that in his diary. He did not mention however where he is buried and none of the books written on the tombstone inscriptions of the cemeteries or on the website for Shenandoah County has a mention of him being in any of the cemeteries.
