He was born in Gilmer county, on December 16, 1832; is the son of the late Jacob H. and Mrs. Sarah Snyder Bush. He came to this county in 1865, and two years later, (in 1867) married Miss Louisa Peirpoint, who passed on, on February 10, 1874; and on December twenty-first, of the following year, he was again married to Mrs. Eveline Kirkpatrick Mitchell, sister of Levi Kirkpatrick, who is the companion of his declining years. Three children were born of the first union; but all have joined the throng on the other side: Emerson and Anna M., died in childhood; and Agnes H., was the late wife of John Cannon. Mr. Bush is a veteran of the Civil war, he having been commissioned as First Lieutenant. ------------------------------------------------------------------- From Death Certificate, Ritchie County, WV #2625 FULL-NAME: Daniel S.
