A.T. Andreas, History of the State of Nebraska... (Chicago: Western Historical Company, 1882), Vol. 1, p. 760:
"WILLIAM M. BUSHMAN, wholesale and retail dry goods merchant, was born at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., August 14, 1842, and lived there about one year. He moved with his parents to New York City, and remained there until October, 1848, when they came out to Fort Wayne, Ind. In the fall of 1864 Mr. Bushman went to St. Louis, and lived there a year, going from there to New Orleans, where he stayed a year. After a year's stop at Council Bluffs, he came to Omaha, and began a grocery business, but the death of his father called him back to Fort Wayne, where he remained till the spring of 1873. In that year he returned to Omaha and commenced his present dry goods business on Thirteenth street (Methodist Church Block). After one year in that location, he moved up next door to his present location, and has since been on the corner now occupied by him, Fifteenth and Douglas streets. He carries a heavy stock of goods, and is doing a large and constantly increasing business, being recognized as one of the leading dry goods merchants of the State."
