This is a collection from the album of Rev. James W. and Mary Elizabeth (Williams) Bushong.

James was a Chaplain for the 88th Reg. OVI at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio. He later became the Chaplain of the 195th at the end of the war. Then he moved around Ohio and eventually landed in Portland Oregon.  Note these are large files 300 dot per inch. Click on the picture to enlarge.  In time I will list these people on each page.

J. W. and Mary Elizabeth (Williams) Bushong. His (WAT)great-grandparents on both sides of the house were soldiers in the Revolutionary war, and in the Bushong line he is descended from French Huguenots who came to America in the seventeenth century. His father, a native of Virginia, was a graduate of the Ohio Wesleyan University and at one time president of a college in Indiana. In the later years of his life he entered the ministry of the Methodist church, devoting his energies to the spread of the gospel until his death, about 1896. He traveled extensively all over the globe, was a profound student of the dead languages and fluently spoke seven different tongues. He filled some of the most prominent pulpits in the south and middle west, being called to pastorates and churches in Little Rock, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Seattle and Portland. In 1890 he built the Centenary Methodist church, the finest on the east side of the river in Portland, to which city he had come in 1888. His wife was a native of Ohio, where her parents were among the earliest settlers, there owning a large estate. After the death of Rev. Bushong his widow married Robert Booth, and is now a resident of Salem, Oregon. Mr. Booth has reared a family of distinguished sons, including Robert Booth, of the Booth Kelly Lumber Company, and Henry Booth, a banker of Roseburg, Oregon.

You will see some of the same photos as in the Kilbourne Album.
