Dr. A. R. Bush is a native of the same parish in which he now resides, his
birth occurring in the year 1853.  There were only three children in his
parent's family: James E. (who was killed in our great Civil War), Aylmer (now
a resident of Summerfield, La.), and the immediate subject of this notice. 
The father, Dr. James S. Bush, was born in the State of New York about 1811,
and came of a family of physicians, descendents of whom are scattered all over
the Union.  Dr. James S. Bush came to Louisiana at a very early date and
settled about twenty-one miles east of Homer, removing about twenty-five years
later to Trenton, where he died about 1868.  The lady who became his wife was
Miss Margaret S. Neyland, a native of Mississippi and a lady of unusual
refinement and intelligence.  She died in 1868 at the age of forty-seven
years.  Dr. A. R. Bush received his early education in the schools of his
native parish, afterward taking two courses of lectures in the medical
profession at Cincinnati, and graduating from the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, Baltimore.  He practiced medicine at Gordon for some time, and in
1888 located at Homer, which has since been his home.  Miss Georgia A.,
daughter of Jesse C. Madden, became his wife in 1884, and to their union three
children have been born: Jesse M.P., Aylmer and Dayton H.  The last two named
are twins.
