Notes for GEORGE WASHINGTON LUSHBAUGH:
George Washington L. made barrels on Dowagiac Creek in Sumnerville Michigan until he took over his father's farm near Galien, Michigan. He was 22 yrs old when he married...he grafted fruit trees and was a "bee" man.He got his bees in the woods.The farm was still standing in Galien in 1953.The doors on the barn which George Washington L hewed himself were still there in use at that time.He belonged to the Masons and had a Masonic funeral.His hair was slightly auburn.
George Washington Lushbaugh born in 1829, operated a "Cooper" (barrel maker) shop in Sumnerville, Michigan.He was a constant worker-he worked so late at night that he would go to sleep standing up.His wife, wakened by the sudden silence, would go and get him and see that he got to bed.
He gave up his shop in 1870, when his father, George M. Lushbaugh (Loshbough) sent for him to come to Galien, Michigan, to take over his farm, which he was no longer able to manage (Geo. M. was about 78 yrs old) George M and his wife, Anna Maria--would then give the farm to their son in exchange for his taking care of them until their death.One year later, George M died. He is buried in Silver Brook Cemetery in Niles, Michigan. Anna Maria (his wife) continued to live with George Washington L. and his wife Bridgette until she decided to accompany her other son, Polk to Missouri, where she died.
George Washington Lushbaugh worked as furiously on the farm as he had in Sumnerville. He hand hewed new barn doors, which in 1950,51,52,53 were still in use. He grafted fruit trees and improved the strain. He collected many swarms of wild bees.He and some other farmers were out looking for bees when the man who was driving the horses-with a slack rein- drove under the limb of a tree which struck George Washington L. across the back, injuring his spinal cord so severely that he was paralyzed from the injury down.He lived like that several months.
He died and was buried in Galien, Michigan January 19,1876 (my genealogy says 1-25-1876).( His 25th wedding anniversary)He had the first Masonic funeral in Galien, Michigan.His headstone broke years later and was removed--only the base is left. A very small marker was placed at the foot of his grave, bearing his initials: G.W.L. (Lot 212-old section)He is buried in the SW corner of the lot.At his feet on the SE corner of the lot, his granddaughter, Laura Genevieve, is buried. She is the fourth child of George and Lily Lushbaugh
**some notes say he was born in PA? or OHio
George Washington Lusbaugh's wife Bridgette wanted him to change the name to LUSHBAUGH from Loshbough and he did. On the cover of their Bible it said "Lushbaugh" which I have in my possession, (PAM)The name on GWLushbaugh's father's grave says : Loshbough (Niles Cemetery)
