James Errett Cushman was born February 4, 1860, at South Butler, Wayne County, N.Y., the youngest and the last of five children of Prentice and Margaret Jane (Hall) Cushman. He came from a long line of the early American families, being a lineal descendant of Robert Cushman, the Pilgrim and Elder Thomas and Mary (Allerton) Cushman of Plymouth who came over to America in 1620 on the Mayflower.
The pioneer spirit of his ancestors lead him in 1887 to leave his native state of New York and go to Goodland, Kansas, where he homesteaded land. In 1887, at Hayes City, Kansas, he was united in marriage to Coredelia Ferris, daughter of Washington and Cordelia (Snyder) Ferris of Wayne County, New York.
To this union were born four children, Mrs. Hazel Wyckoff of Jerome, Idaho; Palmer Hall Cushman, of Salt Lake City, Utah; Jaz. Ferris Cushman of Jerome, Idaho; and Aaron Prentice Cushman who died in 1919. Besides these, he is survived by his widow, Mrs. Cordelia Cushman, and three grandchildren.
From Goodland, Kansas, Mr. Cushman went to Herington, Kansas, where he began a period of 27 years service for the Rock Island. When the railroad was extended through Oklahoma and Texas, he moved with his family, in 1900, to Dalhart, Texas, where they lived twelve years, coming in 1912 as pioneers to the North Side street, Jerome, Idaho, where he took the land where he resided at the time of his death, June 27, 1932.
Mr. Cushman, as were his parents, a member of the Christina church, his father having supplied the pulpit at times in his community. He was a member of Rock Island Lodge No. 569?, A.F. and A.M., and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Dalhart Division, No. 592, at Dalhart, Texas.
He was always interested in the affairs of his country, and of his community, and was an unassuming, upright, Christina gentleman, a kind husband, and father, and good neighbor. -- From The North Side News, Jerome, Idaho.
