BUSH, HALSTEAD
stebus@flash.net John Steven Bush Wed, 29 Oct 1997 18:17:52 -0800I would like to correspond with persons researching Robert R. BUSH or his sister Martha A. Bush, wife of Marion HALSTEAD. The Halsteads previously lived in Buchanon Co., Mo., and may have lived in Illinois also during the latter part of the civil war. Robert R. Bush was from De Kalb Co., Mo., to which he returned. The Halsteads lived in Kansas from 1871 to at least 1876. I would like to know what happened to them after they sold their land that year (which they had purchased from Robert R. Bush, who received a patent from the U.S. gov't).

Looking for the civil war grave of Lieutenant Miles Fleming RICHESON.
Died in Fredonia, Kansas Mar. 14, 1873. Where can I find info on this
grave. I am assuming that it is in Summit Cemetery in Fredonia. Is
there a list of the graves in that cemetery or are there other
cemeteries in that area. He homesteaded on a farm in Fredonia after the
war. His daughter Aveta Delpha RICHESON may be buried nearby. Thanks for
the info. His family went back to their homestate of Indiana after his
death. Please e-mail me at den@nwohio.com Thanks! LuAnn Nagel
