Mayflower to Missouri

1620 - 2006 

 Genealogies: Alvord, Avery, Bush, Barrett, Beedle (Bedel), Cleveland, Hopkins

These families all took part in the settling of early Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York State, Michigan and Ohio. They were founders and first settlers. They were physicians and farmers. They served in the French and Indian, Revolutionary, Civil and two World Wars. One was a "witch" and another, "America's First Poetess." They were the backbone of America, braving hostile Indians and wild animals. They were in the forefront as each new frontier opened. And each has a story.

Susan Bush relates, "This is started out as a family record and wound up a rich tapestry of interwoven events, places, times and people. The major theme recounts the history of the Bush and Barrett families, their ancestors and their travels, who they are and who they collected along the way."

 The following excerpts give a glimpse into the people and their stories.

 

Ruth Esther (Barrett) Bush, Mother, teacher and poet.

The Bush Family, 1949

Rear: Richard and Channing

Front: Anne, Kathryn, Ruth and Carol

Unwanted One

by Ruth Bush

We did not want or see the need of you,

The wages of a middle-aged and almost temperate love,

You were not in our plans for life, you were an afterthought.

Our half-grown ones completely filled our need for pride and joy.

And then you came—we held you warm and soft within our arms.

You looked at us with dark and yet unseeing eyes.

And then we knew, although unwanted, through the miracle of tardy birth

O little one, you were transfigured into our last but almost best beloved.

 

Howard Bush: Newspaper publisher

 

A paper should belong to all the people

"In 1952, Howard Bush left Montpelier, Ohio to search for a newspaper to buy, traveling all the way California. A newspaper is so much a part of the community it serves that both need to be examined together. The quest ended and a new life for the family began in 1952 with the purchase of The Neosho Times and The Neosho Democrat.  Daughter, Anne, says, 'He always claimed the name change had nothing to do with the fact that he was a Republican. He said a paper should belong to all the people.'"

Excerpt, page 40

 

The old photos, many dating from the 1800's, were the inspiration for the book. They were compiled, researched and identified by Ruth and her youngest daughter, Kathryn.
