Boschong Subscribers, We have discovered something truly amazing. Back in April 2009, we posted about Andrew Bushon who we thought had married twice. We need to correct that as he was married three times and give a little more information we have found.

Graham M/3: 28 December 1886, Williams County, Ohio to Mrs." Cynthia" Jacintha Pierce nee Yates (Widow of George H. Pierce & daughter of William and Mary Yates) ---------------------- The New Lisbon Journal New Lisbon, Ohio 15 June 1885 Page 3, Column 3 WEDDING BELLS Once more have their glad chimes rang out, and again have two happy hearts been made to beat as one. With pleasure, we this week, chronicle the marriage of Mr. Andrew Bushon, a prominent and successful business man of Findlay, this State, to Mrs. Elizabeth Graham. The happy even occurred last Thursday noon at the pleasant residence of her son, Rev. J. H. Cronkle pronounced the mystic words which joined them together for life. The happy couple received the congratulations of those present, when dinner was announced and the party repaired to the dining room, where an elegant repast was in waiting. The wedded couple was then driven to the depot and boarded the train for their future home in Findlay. The JOURNAL extends its' heartiest congratulations and well wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Bushon, hoping that their journey through life may be as bright and happy as their wedding day. ---------------------- The New Lisbon Journal New Lisbon, Ohio 8 March 1886 Page 2, Column 2 DEATH OF MRS BUSHON A telegram Saturday from Findlay, Ohio, conveyed the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. E. J. Bushong. Deceased, who was the widow of the late Dr. Albert G. Graham, of New Lisbon, was married to Mr. Bushong, of Findlay, about nine months ago. She had been quite ill for some weeks, and her son Dr. Frank Graham, of this place, was summoned to her bedside, and gave, her a loving and devoted son's constant care and attention, aided by all that medical skill could do, but all proved unavailing to stay the progress of a disease which baffled human skill to arrest. She was a woman of beautiful character, rich in those qualities that adorn womanhood, and gentle recollections come back to her friends laden with the sincerest sympathy and sorrow upon the intelligence of her death. Her remains will be brought her for interment and her funeral will take place at 3 o'clock this afternoon from the M. E. Church. -------------------- 1850 Federal Census: Ohio Pulaski Township, Williams County Enumerated 13 September 1850 Page 85A Lines 17-24, HH 256/263 William Yates 50/Male/Merchant/$5000/PA Mary Yates 47/Female/PA Margaret Yates 21/Female/OH Thomas Yates 19/Male/Clerk/AttendedSchool/OH Franklin Yates 17/Male/Clerk/AttendedSchool/OH John Yates 14/Male/AttendedSchool/OH JACINTHA YATES 12/Female/AttendedSchool/OH Samantha Yates 10/Female/AttendedSchool/OH -------------------- 1860 Federal Census: Ohio Brady, PO West Unity Township, Williams County Enumerated 15 June 1860 Page 139B Lines 1-2, HH 237/237 George Pierce 25/Male/DryGoodsMerchant/-----$2000/OH JACINTHA PIERCE 22/Female/OH ----------------- 1870 Federal Census: Ohio West Unity Township, Williams County Enumerated 2 June 1870 Page 17B Lines 3-6, HH 25/25 George H.
