Boschong Subscribers, We sent for this obit for Joseph Bushong from the Putnam County District Library and we are sorry to say, we cannot identify him. ---------------------- The Putnam County Sentinel Putnam County, Ohio 15 November 1901 COLUMBUS GROVE Joseph Bushong, an aged resident of this vicinity, passed out of life Saturday morning. For many years he had not been in the best of health and last week a turn for the worst became apparent. For some months he has been making a home with Wilbur Weeks and wife, Mrs. Weeks being a granddaughter. The death of his wife last winter had much to do with his early demise. Since then he has gradually declined in health. The deceased had reached the ripe old age of 82 years. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon from the Christian church, conducted by the I. O. O. F. lodge, with Rev. Klink as officiating minister. The remains were interred in the Campbell cemetery in Allen county. ------------------- Ohio Deaths and Burials 1854 - 1997 FamilySearch.org Name of Deceased: JOSEPH BUSHONG Place of Death: Monroe Township, Allen County, Ohio Male, White, Widowed, Farmer Died: 9 November 1901 Aged 82 years Born: Pennsylvania -------------------- We could not find a tombstone inscription for this Joseph Bushong on FindAGrave.
