& Cynthia Amanda Elizabeth [Painter] Christmus
Married Philip Wilkerson Bush
August 10, 1870 - Leesville, Texas
Mother of 10 Children:
Jane Elizabeth "Jennie" [Bush] O'Neal
Jason Belvely Bush
Julia E. [Bush] Harrold
Robert Henry Bush
L. C. Bush
Sarah Dove "Dovie" Bush
Mary M. "Mamie" [Bush] O'Neal
Philip Tom "Boss" Bush
John T. G. Bush
Cynthia "Belle" [Bush] Willeford
Headstone: Hand carved rock heart,
by Philip, no dates, broken.
(I took picture of the headstone
in 1973: almost took it to set
the two pieces in cement....
It was gone, when I returned to
get it and preserve it into cement
four years later.)
My hope is that who ever took this
headstone: did so to preserve and
return it to her....
Philip carved it for her.
