From Rootsweb: Unknown:
He became a clergyman of the Methodist Church at the age of 22. His education was secured at the Wesleyan Seminary at Delaware, Ohio. His studies took him 7 years. A fine linguist, he could read 9 languages and speak fluently 7 of them.
At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the Union Army and was appointed as a Chaplain. He became a member of General O. O. Howard's staff. After the war, he was put in charge of the Freedman's Bureau at Alexander, VA.
Later, he was president of an eastern college, a position he successfully filled for many years. He was sent as a special worker to reorganize and enthuise the church in Missouri. At Sedalia, Missouri, he had a successful pastorate and built a fine church. His next charge was at Little Rock, Arkansas, where he built a fine church building and brought the members to a high degree of enthusiasm. After this, he came back to Cincinnati, taking the church at Walnut Hills. There he built a fine temple of worship and had a very happy pastorate.
In Portland, OR, he was equally successful, building a $100,000 church and serving as its pastor for two years. It was located in eastern Portland, now known as Gresham and was located on Ninth and I Streets, "The Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church". The cornerstone was laid July 7, 1890.
At Astoria, he held a two year's agreement and was a pastor at Seattle for one year. At this time, he was recalled to Portland to conduct a protracted meeting. It was at this time that he was stricken with paralysis while in the pulpit. He died three months later, leaving a wife and three sons.

J. W. and Mary Elizabeth (Williams) Bushong. His (WAT)great-grandparents on both sides of the house were soldiers in the Revolutionary war, and in the Bushong line he is descended from French Huguenots who came to America in the seventeenth century. His father, a native of Virginia, was a graduate of the Ohio Wesleyan University and at one time president of a college in Indiana. In the later years of his life he entered the ministry of the Methodist church, devoting his energies to the spread of the gospel until his death, about 1896. He traveled extensively all over the globe, was a profound student of the dead languages and fluently spoke seven different tongues. He filled some of the most prominent pulpits in the south and middle west, being called to pastorates and churches in Little Rock, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Seattle and Portland. In 1890 he built the Centenary Methodist church, the finest on the east side of the river in Portland, to which city he had come in 1888. His wife was a native of Ohio, where her parents were among the earliest settlers, there owning a large estate. After the death of Rev. Bushong his widow married Robert Booth, and is now a resident of Salem, Oregon. Mr. Booth has reared a family of distinguished sons, including Robert Booth, of the Booth Kelly Lumber Company, and Henry Booth, a banker of Roseburg, Oregon.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BUSHONG.
Pioneer days in Indiana afforded scant oppor-
tunities for education and culture. Conse-
quently those who were superior to the early
conditions and became forceful men and
women in life's arena deserve special praise.
The environment of Benjamin Franklin Bush-
ong, subject of this sketch, was extremely un-
promising and honor is due him for the marked
development which an outline of his career
reveals to have been his attainment. He was
born on Duck Creek, Hamilton Co., Ind.,
Oct. 25, 1841, son of Jonathan Bushong, a
native of the Shenandoah Valley, Va., born
near -New IMarket, that State. The Bushong
family is of German and French extraction.
Jonathan, the father of our subject, was one
of six brothers, and became a typical and suc-
cessful backwoodsman in the growing West.
He was reared in his native State, and there
married Mary M. Corder. In 1823 they emi-
grated to Hamilton county, Ind., when it was
an unbroken wilderness. He erected the first
log cabin and cleared up a farm in the wilder-
ness. Indians were numerous and wild game
abounded. Jonathan was an expert shot, and
hunted deer and smaller animals very suc-
cessfully. His table never lacked for game,
which constituted the chief meat of the ear-
liest families. He was a man of deep religious
convictions and became the first preacher in
that part of the State, as a member of the
LInited Brethren denomination. He was an
industrious farmer, and doubtless it was the
privations and exposures of this life that
shortened his years. He died in 1844,
when his son Benjamin F., subject of this
sketch, was but two and one half years old.
The wife and mother subsequently married
again. Fourteen children were born to Jona-
than and Mary M. Bushong, and of these eight
grew to maturity, two daughters and six sons,
of whom two are now living. Four
of the sons became preachers, three of the
Methodist and one of the United Brethren
faith. The survivors are Rev. John A. Bush-
ong. a LTnitcd Brethren minister of Indian-
apolis, who, in 1906, was still active in his
church work though seventy-eight years of
age: and Benjamin Franklin. Those who
reached vears of maturity and have since



passed away were : Mrs. Cathrion Stone, of
Lincoln, Neb., who died in 1899; Rev. Jo-
seph, of the Protestant Methodist Church;
Rev. James W., of the Methodist Episcopal
Church; Henry J., a physician at Anderson,
Ind., for many years ; M. C, who died a sol-
dier on the battlefield of IMurfreesboro, Tenn.,
during the Civil war; and Mrs. Caroline Mc-
Kinney.

Because of the death of his father Ben-
jamin Franklin Bushong was bound out at
the age of four years to Richard Philips, a
Kentuckian by birth and a farmer in Mont-
gomery county, Ind. Here in the back woods
far from educational and even religious op-
portunities our subject was reared. Not un-
til he was eighteen years of age did he see the
inside of a church or school house. When he
was eighteen Mr. Philips died, and for that
reason, the bond that held Benjamin F., was
transferred to the latter's brother, Henr>- J.,
who, then being unmarried, re-transferred it
to his brother-in-law Mr. McKinney, with
whom our subject then went to live. While
there he received his first and only schooling,
consisting of about eleven months, at the age
of eighteen and nineteen years. When he
married, at the age of thirty-two years, Ben-
jamin F. Bushong could not read intelligibly,
his education coming to him later in life. Mr.
Bushong remained at this latter home for
about two years ; meanwhile his stepfather
died and the care of his mother devolved
upon him. About two years later he was se-
verely injured at a grain warehouse while at
work. His left leg and foot were crushed,
while he was engaged in loading cars with
grain. This accident confined him to the
house for about eighteen months. Upon his
recovery Mr. Bushong engaged for about six
years in the selling of fruit trees and then for
a year he clerked in a grocery store.

In 1873 Mr. Bushong married JIiss IMary
Kay. The one child born to them died when
but four days old. Since his marriage the
chief occupation of Mr. Bushong has been
farming and gardening. In 1885 he began
religious work as a local preacher of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, filling pulpits
at various places until 1899, and in revival
services winning many converts. Mr. Bush-
ong many years ago was led to believe from
his interpretation of certain passages of scrip-
ture in the possible communication with the
spirits of those who have passed away. In
1S99 he became fully convinced of this fact,

and since then has given the subject much at-
tention and investigation. He now lectures
on the subject and is a medium for spiritual
communications. He is a psychic healer of
remarkable power. On Oct. i, 1904, he began
the study of anatomy, and has become thor-
oughly familiar with the structure of the hu-
man body. He has been able to effect the
cure of chronic diseases without recourse to
medicine. He is a member of the Knights of
Pythias and has passed all the chairs of that
order.

One thing that suddenly hit me when I was looking over this old research
from 2006. John Wesley Bushong's land was foreclosed on in Nebraska about the
same time that cousin Benjamin Franklin "Frank" John Bushong's land
(Battlefield family) was being foreclosed on in Nebraska because of a terrible
drought that hit the land in the 1890's. John died but Frank went back to New
Market, Virginia where he lived the rest of his life until he died in 1927.
