Elko Daily Independent, Tuesday, 3/31/1908, p. 4: Judge Henry Bush, an old resident of Hamilton, died at that place Saturday afternoon. Judge Bush was one of the early pioneers of Nevada.

*****
Henry Bush was enumerated at Hamilton on the 1870 Census. That year he was 42 years old, b. New York and was a clerk in a store, probably that of Erastus Woodruff (a California pioneer) who was in the same household and was a “Grocer.”

The 1875 Nevada State Census for White Pine County lists an “H. Bush,” 44 yrs, b. New York, serving as the Justice of the Peace. In the household this year was A. M. Bush (female, 35 yrs, b. England); H. T. Bush (male, 19 yrs, b. California); A. Bush (male, 17 yrs, b. California); and D. B. Parker (male, 34 yrs, b. Tennessee, Teamster). The family members are wife Mary Bush (39 yrs, b. England, RE $5000), Henry Bush (15 yrs, b. California) and Andrew Bush (12 yrs, b. California) who were enumerated on the 1870 Census at Martinez, Contra Costa County, California, in the household of Catherine Martinez (41 yrs, b. England). (Note: Mary was actually Anna Maria TENNENT Bush, the daughter of Archibald Tennent and Maria Johnson. Her father died in 1858 and is buried in the Alhambra Cemetery in Martinez, California. She was a sister-in-law of Henrietta Mallett Tennent Smith, who was buried at Aurora, Nevada. /ss)

In 1880, Henry and Anna Bush with sons Henry and Andrew, were enumerated on Scott Street, in San Francisco. Henry’s occupation was listed as Miner; both sons were employed as “clerk.”

The 1900 Census at Hamilton, White Pine County enumerated Henry Bush (b. Oct. 1829, 70 yrs, married 46 years, b. New York) working as a Notary Public. In the household was also son, “Archibald J. Bush” (b. Sep 1858, 41 yrs, Single, b. California), employed as a gas fitter.

Family information posted to Rootsweb World Connect Project does not appear to know exactly when Henry Bush died. Anna Maria Tennent Bush died June 20, 1908 in San Francisco. (To view this record, see: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sdharrison&id=I17308) (See also San Francisco Call, 6/22/1908: Died. BUSH – In this city, June 20, 1908, Annie Tennent, wife of the late Henry Bush of Hamilton, Nev. and mother of Henry T. Bush of San Francisco and Andrew J. Bush of Hamilton, Nev., a native of England. Friends are respectfully invited to attend the funeral today (Monday) at 2 o’clock p.m., from her late residence, 36 Sixth avenue, between Lake street and Presidio reservation. Incineration private.)

Son Henry T. Bush died in 1928 and his ashes are listed as reposed in the San Francisco Columbarium, formerly the I.O.O.F. columbarium.

A listing for the Ely Cemetery found on the Nevada Tombstone Transcription Project includes the name of Henry Bush, aged about 79 years “of Nevada”, “buried 31 Mar 1908”, but which does not give a grave site number or location. A call to the White Pine County Recorder’s office found that J. F. Beck was the undertaker, but no place of burial was stated on the death record (#16537, 4/7/1908). Witnesses to the burial were listed as James Rosevear and J. A. Tom. James Rosevear resided at Hamilton in 1900, as he also did in the 1910 Census year. Also living at Hamilton in 1910, was Henry’s son “Archibald J. Bush,” then 52 years of age, living one household after that of John H. Rosevear, brother of James Rosevear. Joseph Rosevear died at Green Springs and was buried there, a familial relationship with the foregoing Rosevear’s is almost certain. For info on Joseph Rosevear’s obituary, go to http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi and search for Rosevear in Nevada. (White Pine News 11/1/1900: News reached us last evening of the death of Joseph Rosevear at Hamilton on Tuesday from miner’s consumption. Owing to the lateness of the hour we were unable to obtain further particulars.)

John F. Beck, who signed Henry Bush’s death record as “undertaker,” and his wife, Cecilia, also lived at Hamilton in 1900. Cecilia was the daughter of William Timson (buried at Hamilton Cemetery) and the Beck’s were enumerated in 1910 living at Berkeley, Alameda County, California together with Mrs. Cecilia Timson, Beck’s mother-in-law.

Based on the information available on the men involved in the burial of Henry Bush and their connection to the town of Hamilton, it is probable that Henry Bush was buried at Hamilton, where he’d been so closely associated since 1870.
