Part 1 of 2 ------------ Boschong Subscribers, We found a little article in an old newspaper and decided to follow it to see where it would take us. The intertwining of the Bushong, Hottel and other families in Shenandoah County is amazing and mind boggling. See BOSCHONG Archives for this month (August 2010) for more information. --------- The Shenandoah Herald Friday, 31 July 1908 Page 3, Column 4 MT JACKSON Miss Ethel Bushong, of Tom's Brook, is visiting her uncle, Mr. J.

J. HOTTEL NARROWLY ESCAPED INSTANT DEATH Mr. C. James Hottel, of Mt. Jackson, was struck on the back of his head by a pulley, crushing his skull and rendering him unconscious, late Wednesday afternoon. The accident happened at Hidden's Springs, four miles east of Mt. Jackson, where Mr. Hottel and Mr. John Furr are running a stave mill. Mr. Hottel was engaged in running the engine. About 3 o'clock the governor belt broke and while he was endeavoring to stop the engine, a pulley flew off of the shafting strinking him on the back part of his head, crushing the skull and rendering him unconscious. Dr. Koontz was immediately summoned but found Mr. Hottel in such a serious condition that he could render but little medical aid until the patient was removed to Mt. Jackson. he was carried to his home, in Mt. Jackson, on a stretcher, arriving about 11 o'clock Wednesday night. Dr. Bruin, of Strasburg, and Dr. Foley were called on consultation with Dr. Koontz and at 4 o'clock Thursday morning the physicians performed an operation to relieve the pressure from the brain. About six hours after the operation Mr. Hottel revived into a semi-conscious condition for a few minutes and then passed into an unconscious state in which he still remained at 9 o'clock Thursday evening. But little hope is entertained by the attending physicians of his recovery. Mr. Hottel is one of the best known men in the Valley, he is about 45 years old, married, and a son of the late Jacob Hottle, who lived at the Stonewall Mill, near Pugh's Run, where he was born and raised. About twenty years ago he moved to Mt. Jackson, where he conducted a hotel. He was the last proprietor of the old Revere Hotel in Harrisonburg. ------------- The Shenandoah Herald Friday, 8 May 1908 Page 2, Column 5 MT JACKSON The many friends of Mr. James Hottel will be glad to know that he is improving rapidly. ------------- The Shenandoah Herald Friday, 17 July 1908 Page 2, Column 4 MT.
