Obituary Frank W. Cushman Frank W. Cushman was born near Erie, Pa., on
September 17, 1853. At the age of two years he came with his parents to
Mifflin, Iowa County, Wisconsin. On March 29, 1874, he was united in
marriage to Ida May Basye, there being born to this union eight children,
three of whom, Estella Belle, Fredie Roy and Lloyd Garrison, have left this
life.

Shortly after his conversion, the deceased became class leader in the Free
Methodist church and acted in this capacity for several years. In the fall
of 1897 he moved with his family to Evansville, and from there he moved to
TAYLOR, in the spring of 1910. A protracted illness resulted in his death
on Wednesday morning, February 28, 1917.

Those left to mourn his loss are his wife and children, Charles, of Taylor;
Mrs. Burr Jones, Mrs. George R. Mabie, Mrs. William Crawford, all of
Evansville; Harriet of Taylor; his mother, Mrs. Roxy Cushman, of Rewey; and
brothers, Bert, of Beloit; George, of Plattevile, and Jeff and Ezra, of
Rewey.

The deceased was well and favorably known for his industry and
neighborliness. He was a good husband and a kind father; a man of strong
convictions, but withal kindly genial and conscientious. His long-drawn-out
suffering was sweetned by the faithful, loving care, by day and by night,
of his dear ones.
