Married Carrie Mae Hendrick on December 18, 1882 in Carroll Co., IL
Obit from Illinois Genealogy Trails website:
NELSON BUSHMAN - On Tuesday morning, July 27, 1886, the life work of Nelson Bushman was completed, and his spirit passed out into the unknown beyond. He was in the 26th year of his age. For several months previous to his death, his friends realized that he was in the grasp of that grim destroyer, consumption. Less than two months ago, his physician at Davis Junction advised him to return home to Coleta, and since that time all that loving friends could do to avert the approaching end was done, but the hand of death could not be stayed. He is cut down in the early prime of life, and a loving wife and little daughter are left uncomforted.
Nelson Bushman was born and raised near Coleta. In 1882 he was married to Miss Carrie Hendricks, daughter of L. C. Hendricks of this place. They had two children; one, the youngest and a little girl, died last winter. In 1884 he moved to Davis Junction, Ill., and went into business at which he was quite successful. He was a member of Milledgeville M. E. church and of a Masonic lodge at Leaf River. The funeral services were held at Coleta yesterday at 10 o'clock by Rev. Satterfield, and the remains interred at the Bethel Baptist cemetery. The afflicted wife and family have the sympathy and condolence of many friends in their sad affliction. To them in their hour of sorrow and tribulation is offered the consoling thought that Mr. Bushman lived the life of a christian and died firm in the faith of a blessed immortality.
