Mrs. Frances Miller Fravel, widow of David Fravel, s/o George Fravel Sr. & Elizabeth Bushong:
Henry Bushong, son of Andrew Bushong and Elizabeth Calvert

Mr. Henry Bushong, an old and much respected citizen, residing a short distance south of this place, died on Tuesday morning, after a confinement to his bed of three years of a stroke of paralysis that rendered him helpless. On Friday, last, he received the second stroke which terminated fatally, as above mentioned. Mr. Bushong was born in this county in February 1807, and spent all his long and useful life of eighty-one years in his native county. Mr. Bushong was highly respected for the honesty of his nature and the sterling integrity that marked his entire life. He was a consistant and active member of the Reformed Church for many years. He died as he had lived, that noblest work of God, an honest Christian man, and he leaves to live after him a memory without a stain. His aged widow and a number of children survive to mourn the loss of a tender parent and faithful companion.
