Bushong Burial Ground
T23, R12, S8
Route FF 2 miles south of Highway 181 Junction.

This burial ground is on land once identified as the “old  Prentice  and
Mary Bushong Place.” The several graves here were recently discovered by
a later owner, Donald Neely, while clearing timber from the property.

The earliest burial with an inscription was in 1904, and the latest  was
in 1986 when, by special request of Orlenia Young, the  remains  of  her
husband were interred there.

Virginia Hambleton recalls this cemetery as having several more  graves,
but no evidence of these burials remains.

  Here the inscriptions on the remaining markers;

Bushong, Estill T., son of Prentice and Mary M., 26 Nov 1901-23 Jun 1904
Ingram, Mariah, wife of B.M.., 9 Jan 1844-16 Jun 1906
Luna, Luther, son of M.J. and M.J., 15 Aug 1912-6 Mar 1913
Young, Richard J., 18 Feb 1902-4 Aug 1986
