Death From Lightning —The Salem (Va.)
Register says that on Thursday evening, the 31st ultimo, Mr. John Bushong, of Roanoke county, was struck dead by lightning. Mr. Bushong was at home, and at the time be was struck, no one was in the room with him. His wife was in an adjoining room and by her shrieks soon aroused the whole family to the scene of death. He was lying prostrated with his hands and arms partially under him with his fare towards the floor. He was taken up immediately and laid upon the bed, but life was gone. No effect of the lightning could be seen anywhere upon the building, and it is supposed the lightning passed in at an opening in a window caused by a pane of glass being broken out. The only mark of violence seemed to be upon his left shoulder, where there was an indentation about two inches long, and appeared as if made by a hot iron rod Which had laid there and remained until it had sunk one third its thickness into the flesh. From that place down to the top of the left boot the hair of the body was singed in a narrow streak close to the skin. The boot was bursted from the instep around to the toes, at which place the whole toe of the boot seemed torn Into fragments.

At the same time one of his sons, also received a shock which came near proving fatal. Virginia Deaths and Burials, 1853-1912 for Jno. Bushong

"GREENRIDGE"
The Bushong Farm

"Greenridge" is located on Old Peters Creek Road (Barns Road) and is
generally known in the area as "The Bushong Place". It is now owned by Mr. and
Mrs. Jared Green who purchased it in 1974 from Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence Becker.
The Beckers had bought the property from the Nininger family who were
descendants of the Bushong family----a Bushong daughter, Bess, married Clyde Nininger,
son of Nathan Nininger. The Beckers restored this home.
Greenridge has an interesting history. It began with Henry Pefley
(Peffley). He was born and reared in what is now known as Lebanon County,
Pennsylvania. He and his brother David came to Botetourt County together and purchased
adjoining farms from William McClanahan. Henry bought 100 acres from
McClanahan and additional acreage from Leonard Houts and the Borndrager Estate.
He married Susannah Borndrager, daughter of Andrew Borndrager, who owned
a sizable farm near what is now Hollins College.
Henry Pefley (Peffley) built his substantial brick house about 1832, soon
after his marriage. It is said that the house was built of brick burned on
the place which was in itself quite an art. The front of the house was red
brick made of blue clay and the rear of the house was gray brick burned from red
clay. Very unusual brick were used in the construction of the house. Some
were "U" shaped for the cornices and other "V" shaped for corners. The kitchen
was a separate building at the rear of the house.
It is thought that the Pefley (Peffley) family members were buried on the
farm since we are told there was a sizable cemetery in a wooded pasture
where there were a number of unmarked graves. (See "The Peffley Brothers").
John M. Smith, Executor of Henry Pefley, deceased, conveyed the Henry
Pefley property to David Deyerle by deed dated October 3, 1860 for $5,806.50, or
$25.25 per acre. According to a survey made May 6, 1833 the property
contained 258 acres, however, 29 acres had been sold to John Smith and the
macadamized road took three acres. (Deed Book 11-Page 538-Botetourt County). Deyerle
doubled the size of the house.
The older part of the house had three rooms on the first floor and two on
the second floor with a fireplace in each room. The staircase is boxed in.
The fireplaces are arched and the mantels are simple. The floors upstairs are
pine boards more than a foot wide. In the section added by Deyerle there is a
lovely curved, paneled stairway.
The house has old "Christian" doors, so called because of the cross
design at their tops. In the basement of the older section there is a large
fireplace where an old cooking crane with chains and hooks once were found.
David Deyerle was a prominent and outstanding brick maker and contractor.
He made the brick and erected the Main Building at Hollins College. He began
on this building the day Virginia seceded from the Union and did not
complete it until 1869. He also built the old Peters Creek Church of the Brethren
and many other buildings and homes still standing in the Valley. David Deyerle
died in 1898. An article appearing in the SALEM TIMES REGISTER October 14,
1898, told of Mr. Deyerle, one of the oldest, most prominent and wealthy
citizens of Roanoke County, being killed by a vicious bull. The article went on to
say that Deyerle, who resided on his splendid farm near Hollins, rode into
his wheat field to drive out cattle which had gotten out of the pasture, when
he was attacked by a dehorned bull. Although Deyerle was critically injured he
managed to mount his horse and make it home. He died shortly after reaching
there.
David Deyerle left the Greenridge property to his son William. William
went to Texas shortly thereafter. He deeded Greenridge to his sister Maggie and
her husband, H. Clay Bushong. The deed, dated January 23, 1899, noted, "for
and in consideration of one dollar in hand paid...and the further
consideration of the care and kind attention given by the parties of the second part (H.
C. Bushong and Maggie C. Bushong) to the support and welfare and comfort of
David Deyerle, the father of William W. Deyerle, during the last years of
him, the said party of the first part do grant with covenants of General
Warranty unto said parties of the second part, to share and share alike, the
following described land..."
Greenridge remained in the Bushong family until 1971.
A story has come down through the years about a prized possession of Mrs.
David Deyerle. She valued highly a foot-high pewter Teapot given her by Mrs.
Lucy Carvin, widow of Richard Carvin, son of William Carvin II. According to
information available Mrs. Carvin was the last of this family to live in the
Roanoke-Botetourt area. She died around the close of the Civil War. One of
the most notorious lawsuits developed over the provisions of her will ever
recorded in Roanoke County.
Mrs. Carvin lived on land inherited by her husband from his father. He
willed the property to her as long as she remained his widow. Known as
"Carvin's Meadows" this land was later owned by Harvey Hall and at least part of it
is still owned by the Hall Family (Brookside Golf Course). The Carvin house
was diagonally across from the once lovely old home built by Nathan Nininger
which still stands between Florist and Williamson Roads. The Nininger home and
much of the land was owned for a number of years by Marshall L. Eggleston
from Franklin County.
The teapot, prized so highly by Mrs. Deyerle, was made on the order of a
thermos bottle, the inner surface separated by a fraction of an inch from the
outer covering. Mrs. Deyerle gave the teapot to her daughter, Mrs. Maggie C.
Bushong, and it is hoped that it is still owned by the family.
An interesting story has also come down through the years about a great
old grandfather clock operated by weights and chains which stood in the
Bushong home.
According to the story, the Church of the Brethren held its Annual
Meeting in the area where J. B. Fishburn was to later build his home. Mrs. Bushong
started to the Meeting, driving a horse hitched to a two-seated surrey, when
she overtook a lady walking in the direction of the meeting. She invited her
to ride. As they became acquainted Mrs. Bushong learned that the lady and her
husband were attending the Annual Meeting but the lady informed her that she
had actually come to Roanoke for another purpose. She said that she had come
to buy, if possible, a grandfather clock which was owned by someone living
in a brick house about half way between Salem and Hollins, on the "Old Post
Road".
Two clocks, the lady had been told, had been sold in that neighborhood
many years before by a peddlar from Hagerstown, Maryland. One had been
inherited by her brother-in-law who lived in Indiana. She was hoping to buy the other
one and had $100 to pay for it.
The lady inquired of Mrs. Bushong as to whether she knew where the house
was and if she knew the grandfather clock was still there. Mrs. Bushong
replied that she did know where the house was and yes, the clock was still there
but it belonged to her and she would not sell it.
The Pefley, Deyerle and Bushong families had a great water supply from a
cave spring located in a cliff across the road from the house. The entrance
to the cave was walled up and entered through a wooden door. On entering a
solid rock cavern extending about 20 feet into the hill was found. It was about
seven feet high at the entrance and sloped down at the back. From the dark
recesses in the back flowed a clear cold stream of water. The cave was a
perfect refrigerator and milk, butter, etc. were kept there. The draft of air in
the cave suggested underground caverns beyond.
This brings to mind the story given by Mr. Alvin Cannaday, whose father
Dr. A. A. Cannaday, owned the property where Woodrum Airport is now located.
Mr. Cannaday talked about a hand-dug well on his father's property, which was
dug through solid limestone. He remembered that paper could be dropped in
this well and would soon reappear at the Bushong Spring, floating out in the
stream of water coming into the spring.
The cliff in which the cave spring was located has now been destroyed, or
a least partially destroyed, in the airport runway extension taking place in
the expansion program of the 1980's.
A log house stood across the road from the main house at one time. In the
early days this was used as a school house. This burned a number of years
ago.
There was once considerable woodland on the Pefley, Deyerle, Bushong
property. An interesting story is told by older residents of the area. It seems
that bears used the woods as they crossed The Barrens from one group of
mountains to another.
Greenridge has stood by the road as history in the making passed by. What
great stories could be told if a house could talk."

Find A Grave Memorial# 34425399. Research on the Booth and Bushong branch of the family on whether there was native American Indian blood in the family and if their Booths's were related to John Wilkes Booth. And....
no... they are not on both questions. See Boschong post for August 2005 and
5 & 6 April 2010 titled THE BUSHONGS FROM VA AND BOOTH CONNECTION IN
COLUMBUS, FRANKLIN CO., OH.

On the 1912 marriage application for William O. A. Bushong in Franklin
County, Ohio, William named his father as THOMAS J. BUSHONG and his mother as
ANNA A. TOMPKINS which further research proved the middle initial stood for
Augusta and that her full name was Anna Augusta Tompkins.

Further evidence in the newspaper article and censuses record support the
marriage document we had looked at as William's mother maiden name as
Tompkins not Abel/Abell.We will show where the name this name fits later in this
post.

So.......Thomas Jackson Bushong married for the first time to Anna Augusta
Tompkins, daughter of James and Elizabeth Tompkins. The evidence in the
newspaper account below and the census records we found confirm what we
suspected. The newspaper account, mentions what we believe to be the grandmother
of William O. A. Bushong, Elizabeth Tompkins who was awarded temporary
custody of the boy William O. A. Bushong, born 8 November 1886 after the
death of her daughter Anna Augusta. When Thomas Jackson Bushong married for a
second time to Anna Alberta "Bertie" Norris in March of 1891, a month later
Thomas J. Bushong went to the court for custody of his child William born
to his first wife. See Court Proceedings
