"Dear Sue,
It was good hearing from you again and thank you for thinking of me.

I do have Mary Bush in my database BUT all I have is "Bush, Mrs Mary, age ?, died 1852 before June 2, on the north side of the Platte River 0-10 miles east of Skunk Creek, home Pirie[?], Iowa."

I got the above information from Stoddard, William Cochran, Diary, Aug 3, 1851- Nov 28, 1852, mf of ms, 225 p, Society of California Pioneers, San Francisco, which I transcribed in 2000 (see below).
