Notes:

Lynn Boyd (L.B.) Bush and family were living in Baylor County, Texas in 1900. By about 1912, L.B. and Mary lived in Cave Springs, Benton County, Arkansas where they operated the Hotel Bush, one of two hotels in Cave Springs at the time. The local phone office was located in the hotel and Mary was operator. L.B. was a member of the Christian Church/Church of Christ, and is buried in the Cave Springs Cemetery.

His obituary, from the Rogers Democrat of 13 Feb 1919 reads as follows:

Bush, L.B.-----L.B. Bush died at his home on Main Street. He had not been well for some time, having had two or three strokes of paralysis at different times, death being caused by same and occurin Friday at 5 pm. Interment was made in the city cemetery Saturday afternoon. Funeral services were held at the home by Rev. Sears. Mr. Bush was respected by all who knew him and will be greatly missed by every one and we all join in extending sympathy to his loved ones, Mrs. L.B. Bush and children: Mrs. Sam Adams, Rogers; Mrs. W.C. Stamper, Wizard Wells, Texas; W.B. Bush, McClain, Texas and Roy Bush of Cave Springs.

Lynn Boyd Bush was apparently named after a neighbor in Trigg County, Kentucky, Linn Boyd, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Kentucky from 1835-1837 and from 1839-1855. He was U.S. Speaker of the House from 1851-1855.

Lynn married Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" Gentry on 25 Dec 1873 in Grayson County, Texas. Mary (daughter of Preacher William G. Gentry and Mary "Polly" ???) was born on 20 Feb 1850 in Tennessee; died on 6 Oct 1933 in Comanche County, Oklahoma; was buried in Highland Cemetery, Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mary was still unmarried when her mother's estate was divided in Grayson County, Texas in 1871.

On the 1880 Census, Mary Gentry Bush was living away from her husband, with the family of John M and Pamelia Gentry in Grayson County. Living with her were her three young sons, Willie, Harry, and Marcus Roy. It is not known why they were seperated.

Mary and L.B. Bush are listed are heirs to W.G. Gentry on a land transaction in Hill County, Texas in 1883.

Bush, Mary E., b. Feb 20, 1850, d. Oct 6, 1933, 83y, TN-Gentry

Email from g-granddaughter, Carol Ann 'Krol' Stamper Chapas - TheKrol@juno.com to Lynell Cordell:

"Grandma Mary (everyone called her Mollie) was living with Pa & Granny (Wm. Clint, Sr. and Mary/Marie A.)when she died. They lived 25 miles south of Lawton according to her obituary. She died Friday, October 6, 1933 at 4:00 a.m. She had moved from Cave Springs in July of 1933 and had a stroke which left her partially paralyzed in August. She and Grandpa Lynn had been members of the Cave Springs Church of Christ, and they had owned a small hotel there for years. She is buried in Highland Cemetery which is somewhere in or near Lawton."

Mrs. Mary Bush Dies Early Today

Funeral Services to be Conducted Saturday Morning

Mrs. Mary E. Bush, 83, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.C. Stamper, living 25 miles south of Lawton, Friday morning at 4 o'clock.

Mrs. Bush, who came from Cave Springs, Arkansas, last July, had a stroke of paralysis in August and had not been well since that time.

Besides Mrs. Stamper, another daughter, Mrs. S.S. Adams of Rogers, Arkansas, and three sons, W.D. Bush, M.L. Bush and R.M. Bush, all of McLain, Arkansas, also survive.

Mrs. Bush was a member of the Church of Christ at Cave Springs.

(Mark Eitzen gives W.B. as a son, not W.D. and since he's descended from Wm.Boyd I'll have to go along with him, but he doesn't list M.L. at all.)
