Boschong Subscribers, Back in October 2009 I posted a 1917 obit for Nellie May Bushong who died in Ohio and had an "off list" discussion with some researchers about this Nellie and the last name Smith. I recently found an obit that may clear up some of that discussion back then. Obviously there was more then one Smith girl who married a Bushong since one was still alive after 1917 and I mentioned that fact back then. ----------------- How many of you know that one of the nicknames for Mary is Nellie? ------------------- See BOSCHONG Archives for March 2010 for more information on John Stout Bushong and Mary "Nellie" I.
