Reverend Michael Bushman was not closely related to George Bushman’s family nor even of the same faith.

The wives of George Bushman, Mary Kepner and Anna Wolf, were strong-minded women who provided the backbone of the George Bushman farm.

George Bushman’s farm became famous for being a prominent field hospital of the Twelfth Corps. George himself was a well-known farmer and merchant.

Lewis Bushman followed in his father’s footsteps, becoming a prominent farmer, law enforcement officer, and merchant. But tragedy followed both him and his son George (pictured above).
