Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

Title
A name given to the resource
"Heisey"
Description
An account of the resource
The name, "Heisey", is written on the glass plate of this image of a woman seated on a bench with her arm around a young child.
After further research, it is likely this child was Edwin Wightman Hisey, the son of Walter Brownlow (1888-1968) and Mary E. (Wightman) Hisey, from Edinburg.
The woman in the photograph was likely his mother, Mary E. (Wightman) Hisey.
Edwin grew up in Mount Hope, Fayette County, West Virginia, where his father worked for many years as a bookkeeper for a coal company.
He graduated from Mount Hope High School and attended the Central Academy of Commercial Arts in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1940, he married Nancy Love Gregory. The Beckley Post Herald newspaper reported that 150 guests attended the wedding.
When Edwin registered for the WWII draft, he was described as having “weak eyes, tonsillectomy, and heart condition”. Nevertheless, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in May 1942, to serve his country. His marriage, however, did not last and the couple divorced.
By 1950, Edwin was living back in Edinburg. He worked as an Assistant Manager in a grocery store. He married Charlotte Evelyn Wisman (1919-1987) that year. She worked as a bookkeeper in a department store and was the daughter of Edgar Hammon and Mary Ellen (Downey) Wisman.
They enjoyed many years together and raised at least two children. When he died, Edwin was a retired U.S. Post Office clerk.

Description
An account of the resource
Portrait of Emery Franklin Bushong standing beside his wife, Sarah E. (Wisman) Bushong.
This photograph was taken around the time of their marriage.
Emery Franklin Bushong was born at the old Bushong homeplace in Harrisville, Shenandoah County. He was one of five children born to William A. and Eva (Pifer) Bushong, a farming couple.
He married Sarah Elizabeth “Lizzie” Wisman in 1911. Lizzie was the daughter of William Luther (1859-1908) and Sarah “Sallie” A. (Doll) (1857-1930) Wisman. She was the third of four children born to the couple. In the 1900 census for the Stonewall District of Shenandoah County, her father’s occupation was listed as “Comm. Of Revenue”. Ten years later, Lizzie lived with her widowed mother and two siblings.
When he registered for the WWI draft, Emery claimed an exemption because he had two young children and a wife to support.
In the 1920, 1930, and 1940 censuses found the family living in the Boyer Road/Fairview area of Stonewall District. Emery and Sarah had four sons together: William Lee, Gilbert F., Forrest B., and Garland Bushong.
Throughout his life, Emery was a lifelong member of Harrisville Reformed Church. He worked as a railroad employee, farmed, and when his four sons got older, was a lumber dealer with their help.
After her husband died, Sarah remained in the area and the 1950 census found her with two lodgers, a married couple. The man was from South Dakota and he worked as a farmhand, probably on Sarah’s farm.
In her later years, she also worked as a nurse in a hospital.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

Bushong, William Lee (1914-1992)
Description
An account of the resource
Elizabeth “Lizzie” Sarah (Wisman) Bushong holding her first-born son, William Lee Bushong.
Lizzie was the daughter of William Luther (1859-1908) and Sarah A. (Doll) (1857-1930) Wisman. She was the third of four children born to the couple. In the 1900 census for the Stonewall District of Shenandoah County, her father’s occupation was listed as “Comm. Of Revenue”. Ten years later, Lizzie lived with her widowed mother and two siblings.
She married Emery Franklin Bushong in 1911. Over their years together, they had four sons: William Lee, Gilbert F., Forest B. and Garland W. In the 1930 census, the farming family lived on Boyer Road, still in the Stonewall District.
After her husband died, she remained in the area and the 1950 census found her with two lodgers, a married couple from South Dakota, who probably helped her with the farm work. In her later years, she also worked as a nurse in a hospital.
William Lee Bushong, known as “Lee”, was the son of Emery Franklin (1889-1949) and Elizabeth “Lizzie” Sarah (Wisman) (1889-1972) Bushong. He grew up with three brothers on a farm in the Stonewall District of the county.
In 1921, 6-year old Lee and his younger brother, Gilbert, survived a harrowing 250-foot fall over a precipice across the river from the Triplett power plant. It occurred when the horse his father was using to pull a wagon up a mountain broke away and ran over the cliff with the wagon and boys attached. The two boys were found badly bruised but alive at the foot of the cliff near the river. They had to be rescued by boat. The newspaper article described the event as “one of the most remarkable escapes in the history of the mountains”.
He married Ruth Elizabeth (Clem) (born in Pennsylvania) in July 1935, in Cumberland, Maryland.
In the 1940 census, they both lived on State Road 604 (Fairview Road) near Woodstock with Lee’s parents. Lee worked as a stock dealer. Ruth worked as a bookkeeper at a private school. Their marriage did not last and they divorced in 1941.
For a time, Lee and two brothers, Gilbert and Forest "Peanut" Bushong, had a ranch in the Snowy Ridge area of Wyoming. Lee was a hunting guide there.
He married for the second time in 1942, in Boonesboro, Kentucky. His wife, Bera Maxine (Brosious) (1917-2010) was born in Kane, Wyoming, the daughter of Joseph J. and Mary (Herren) Brosnious.
Lee worked with horses much of his life. He and his wife were known for being avid race horse owners in the Front Royal area. Lee was also a well-known stock man and cattle dealer. His wife bred Limousin Cattle and worked as a teacher and administrator in the Warren County Public School system for 32 years. They did not have children.

In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

Ed and Emery were hauling bark to Woodstock to put on the train bound for the leather tannery in Luray. It was a bitterly cold day and they stopped at Morrison's studio to warm up. While they were there, Hugh Morrison asked to take their picture. They said no because they did not feel they were suitably dressed. But Hugh Morrison won out with this result.

The topic of the resource
Bushong, William Lee (1914-1992)
Description
An account of the resource
Photograph of William “Lee” Bushong seated on a stool and wearing cowboy boots. He is remembered for his lifelong work with horses.
Lee was the son of Emery Franklin (1889-1949) and Elizabeth “Lizzie” Sarah (Wisman) (1889-1972) Bushong. He grew up with three brothers on a farm in the Stonewall District of the county.
In 1921, 6-year old Lee and his younger brother, Gilbert, survived a harrowing 250-foot fall over a precipice across the river from the Triplett power plant. It occurred when the horse his father was using to pull a wagon up a mountain broke away and ran over the cliff with the wagon and boys attached. The two boys were found badly bruised but alive at the foot of the cliff near the river. They had to be rescued by boat. The newspaper article described the event as “one of the most remarkable escapes in the history of the mountains”.
He married Ruth Elizabeth (Clem) (born in Pennsylvania) in July 1935, in Cumberland, Maryland.
In the 1940 census, they both lived on State Road 604 (Fairview Road) near Woodstock with Lee’s parents. Lee worked as a stock dealer. Ruth worked as a bookkeeper at a private school. Their marriage did not last and they divorced in 1941.
For a time, Lee and two brothers, Gilbert and Forest "Peanut" Bushong, had a ranch in the Snowy Ridge area of Wyoming. Lee was a hunting guide there.
He married for the second time in 1942, in Boonesboro, Kentucky. His wife, Bera Maxine (Brosnious) (1917-2010) was born in Kane, Wyoming, the daughter of Joseph J. and Mary (Herren) Brosnious.
Lee worked with horses much of his life. He and his wife were known for being avid race horse owners in the Front Royal area. Lee was also a well-known stock man and cattle dealer. His wife bred Limousin Cattle and worked as a teacher and administrator in the Warren County Public School system for 32 years. They did not have children.
Lee's last residence was in Hedgesville, West Virginia.
