Boschong Subscribers, We received the obit for Eliza (Seitz) Bushong in the mail yesterday so decided to add more information along with the obit The only son of this couple that we have not nailed down is first born son Charles E. Bushong. We don't know what happened to him. Does anyone know? ------------ The Sentinel Tribune Wood County, Ohio Saturday, 7 January 1922 Page 7, Column 4 MRS. ELIZA BUSHONG After many years of sickness, Mrs. Eliza Bushong died at the home of her son-in-law, Wallace Sites, on the Charles Roberts farm just over the Hancock county line, Saturday. She was aged 78 years, 1 month and 27 days at her demise. Funeral services were held at the Pleasant Hill church, Monday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. Kidwell, of Findlay, officiating. Burial was made at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. (North Baltimore Beacon) -------------- Check the BOSCHONG Archives for July 2009 for documents on Heirs of Jacob Bushong. William J. Bushong is not mentioned because he died within two months of his father's death Jacob having died in March 1884 and the son William having died in May 1884 and the Letters of Administration were probably applied before after May 1884. We don't remember seeing a date on them. ------------- WILLIAM J. BUSHONG MARRIED TO ELIZA M. SEITZ WILLIAM J.
