Sarah E. (Wisman) Bushong & William L. Bushong
subject: Bushong, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Sarah Wisman (1889-1972)
subject: Bushong, William Lee (1914-1992)
description: 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.

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.
