Boschong Subscribers, We have posted about Samuel Bushong and his family back in February 2009 and April 2007. We also posted photos of Samuel Bushong and wife Elizabeth Graham and some of the family up on our website. Horace Graham Bushong with wife Mary Ann Bean are among those photos. Horace Graham Bushong married twice. He married Mary Ann Bean first and much later married a girl, Ruth Ann Delmotte, who was younger then some of his oldest children. We could not find Ruth A. Delmotte in the 1900 census which we thought a little strange nor could I find a marriage record on them although based on the age of Robert Bushong, they had to have married by 1905. The other strange part is that on the 1920 census, she states that she is single instead of widowed. ------------------- HORACE GRAHAM BUSHONG Born: 27 October 1858, Lancaster County, PA, son of Samuel Bushong and Elizabeth Graham Died: 12 July 1918, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Burial: Salem Evangelical Reformed Church, Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Married Twice: M/1: 1 November 1885, Lancaster County, PA to Mary Ann Bean MARY ANN BEAN Born: 2 November 1862, Lancaster County, PA, daughter of John Bean and Sarah Gochenour Died: 21 January 1894, Lancaster County, PA Burial: Salem Evangelical Reformed Church, Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania M/2: Date unknown RUTH ANN DELMOTTE Born: 1887 Died: 1931 Burial: Salem Evangelical Reformed Church, Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania ---------------------- 1860 Federal Census: Pennsylvania Upper Leacock Township, PO Bareville, Lancaster County Enumerated 13 June 1860 Page 878 & 879 Lines 39-40 & 1-4, HH 274/287 Samuel Bushong 39/Male/Carpenter/$1600-294/PA Elizabeth Bushong 32/Female/PA Mary Ann Bushong 7/Female/AttendedSchool/PA Ruphias M.
