Some time ago I called the library in Danville, Illinois to order 3 obits. They came in today's mail and the charge was $5.00. A little high priced for 3 obits but not much I can do about that. See BOSCHONG Archives for October 2009, July 2011, April 2013, and May 2013 for further information on the family. ---------------- CHARLES THOMPSON BUSHONG Born: 1 June 1875, Vermilion County, Illinois, s/o Andrew Moore Bushong and Elizabeth Ross Died: 27 November 1951, Vermilion County, Illinois Married: 24 June 1897, Vermilion County, Illinois, to Luella Kyger LUELLA KYGER Born: 18 September 1875, Vermilion County, Illinois, d/o Henry Thornton Kyger and Electra Ann Redfern Died: 14 December 1956, Vermilion County, Illinois Both Burial: Springhill Cemetery, Vermilion County, Illinois ----------------- The Commercial - News Wednesday, 28 November 1951 Page 13, Column 6 C.
