Emory Bush, who carries on general agricultural pursuits on Section 20, Somers, Township, has always lived in this locality so that his life history is well known to his fellow citizens, but he is willing that they should hae knowledge of his acts for he has even been upright and honorable and in his life record there is nothing to conceal. In fact his friends, and they are many, speak of him in terms of warm regard.
Mr. Bush was born May 26, 1866, a son of Levi and Sally (Wilcox) Bush, who were natives of the state of New York, where they resided until 1850 and then came to Wisconsin, settling in Kenosha County. Levi Bush purchased eighty acres of land upon which he lived until his death.
Emory Bush was reared amid the refining influences of a good Christian home. He attended the common schools to the age of fifteen years, after which he gave his entire attention to the work of the home farm, assisting his father in the development and improvement of the place until the latter's death, when he inherited the land. He has put many modern improvements upon the farm, including eleven hundred rods of tile, which has drained the land and added much to its productiveness. his place is now a valuable property and returns to him a golden tribute for the care and cultivation which he annually bestows upon it.
On the 26th of June, 1891, Mr. Bush married Miss Amelia Ozanne, a daughter of Abraham and Sophia Ozanne. They have become the parents of one child, Edna, who married Mathias Uelmen of northern Wisconsin, but they are now residing in Somers and have one child, Dorothy.
