Emanuel Bushnell was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, July 21, 1827. William Bushnell, his father, a carriage maker by trade, was born March 22, 1787, in Saybrook, Connecticut, and on May 29, 1817, married Miss Polly Harnsberger, daughter of Adam and Catherine Harnsberger. She was also born in Rockingham County, December 3, 1788. They had five children, four sons and one daughter, of whom Emanuel is the only surviving child. They both lived in Virginia until their deaths, Mr. B. dying February 20, 1845, and his widow August 8, 1851. Young Bushnell obtained a good practical schooling in youth, and at the age of fourteen years commenced life for himself. In 1854 he emigrated to Henry County, Missouri, landing at Calhoun on April 19, and with him came his sister, Mary Ann. They brought a colored family consisting of seven persons, and Mr. B. made his home for sometime with an older brother who had preceded him to Missouri in an early day. October 30, 1855 he was married to Miss Mary E. F. Watson, daughter of John and Ellen Watson, of Boston, Massachusetts, where she was born March 14 1836. They have had six children, three sons and three daughters: William Tupper, born August 12, 1856, died June 22, 1882, soon after having graduated from the Missouri Medical College, in the class of 1881-2; John Archibald; born April 17, 1859, and now in the mercantile establishment of J. W. Keyser, at Calhoun; Richard Ira, born March 25, 1861, and died in February following; Mary Ann, born March 28, 1863, married E. H. Fox, of Henry County; Eleanor L., born September 6, 1870; and Virginia A., born June 3, 1872. For nearly four years Mr. Bushnell was engaged with his brother J. A. as salesman. In the fall of 1857 he purchased a tract of 240 acres known as the Brummet farm, and continued farming until the outbreak of the war. Since then he has been a resident of Calhoun and for the last four years has acted as city collector. Since 1870 he has been more or less of the time a member of the school board. He belongs to Calhoun Lodge No. 409, I. O. O. F. His wife is connected with the Presbyterian Church. Politically he is a Democrat.
