Jerome was born in New Castle, but in 1846 he removed to Jefferson County, Va., where he engaged in Merchandising. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, he entered the Confederate service, continuing in it until the surrender at Appomottox. He left the war with the rank of colonel. For some years before his death, DuShane resided in Galesburg, Ill. at the home of his half-brother, Frank L. DuShane.
"He was loyal to the southern cause and was a zealous worker for its success. So strong was his convictions that the Southerns were right in their claims that he refused to be pacified and never took the oath of allegiance or the advantages offered by the several amnesty proclamations or laws."
The remains were brought to New Castle and buried at Greenwood Cemetery. The pall-bearers were: Capt. J. H. Gilliland, Capt. A. S. Love, J. M. Martin, M. C. Rose, and H. R. Dunlap, members of the Union Veteran League, and G. W. McCrosby, an ex-Confederate soldier.
