One more thing. I did find a H. Bushing in the 1920 census in Denver, Colorado but since I don't have Ancestry cannot view the census page. Can any post this for me so that we can decide if this is Hiram?

Of Note: Though he only owned the land officially for 1 year and 6 months, he would have had to resided on the property for the five years prior to June 1912 per the requirements of the 1862 Homestead act. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BOSCHONG-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
