Boschong Subscribers, We went back in the BOSCHONG Archives to see if we could find additional information on the lineage of Gloria Bushong Salmeri and discovered that we had posted information back in April 2010 about her family. She is part of the Henry Bushong and Ruth Hamilton lineage in Jefferson County, Illinois. LINEAGE: Probably John Bushong and Eleanor Rush Henry Bushong and Ruth Hamilton John S. Bushong and Naomi Angeline Dees George Warren Bushong and Inez Rightnour Clarence Bushong Sr M/1: 1923 to Bertha (maiden name unknown. Was it Neidhardt?) M/2: 14 June 1932 to Fern Anna Krinkle We do seem to have a mystery. Gloria's father Clarence Bushong was married to Fern Anna maiden name, not sure. I am still trying to figure out why two maiden names are shown for her in two different obits, that being, Krinkle and Neidhardt. In Gloria's obit it list her mother as Fern Anna Neidhardt but in her father Clarence's obit, the name is listed as Fern Krinkle. So, was her maiden name Krinkle and after the death of Clarence did his wife Fern marry a Neidhardt or was Clarence's first wife's maiden name Neidhardt?
