Manila American Cemetery & Memorial, Lone Oak Cemetery (Stayton, OR) and Salem Pioneer Cemetery. As the Bush family has a long history in Salem, I am guessing that Asahel's remains were returned to Salem from Manila.
The two markers in Lone Oak Cemetery & Salem Pioneer are identical. Again, I am guessing that Asahel V & his daughter's ashes both share these two grave sites.

Upon further research, I have learned:
Asahel "Ace" Bush, V was the eldest son of Asahel Bush IV and wife, Margaret Boot Bush. Ace graduated from Amherst College in 1933 then became a newspaper reporter in Klamath Falls, Oregon. He also worked in Salt Lake City and San Francisco.
In 1934 Ace married Faye Cornish. Their daughter, Jody was born in 1936. In 1943, Ace was a war correspondent and attached to General Douglas MacArthur's headquarters in the Pacific Theatre. Ace was killed by a Japanese bomb on October 25, 1944 in the Philippines.
