*Dr. Milo W. Bushong, 52 years old, popular Crawfordsville dentist and
former commander of the American Legion died unexpectedly Friday night
about 11 o'clock of a heart attack at his home, 609 W. Pike Street. He
had been in failing health several months and during March and April was
a patient at the US Veterans Hospital in Indianapolis. Born in Parke
County near Rockville, Oct 13, 1888, the son of George and Louisa
Hopkins Bushong, pioneer Indiana residents, he was united in marriage
with Rose Meyer at Louisville, Ky July 26, 1915. Following his marriage
residence was established at Wallace where Dr. Bushong practiced
dentisty until the outbreak of the first WW when he enlisted in the
medical corps and served overseas as a captain. During his overseas
service, which was of 18 months duration he was associated with Mayor
A.R. Killian of Lafayette, former Indiana Dept. commander of the
American Legion who also was a captain in the medical corps. At the
conclusion of the war, Dr. Bushong returned to Wallace where he remained
for a few months. He opened an office in Crawfordsville in August of
1920, and established his residence here in January 1921, continuing the
practice of dentistry in t his city until march 14 when he was forced to
retire because of the condition of his health. Educated in the public
school of Parke County, Dr. Bushong was graduated from the Indiana
University School of Dentistry in 1915 after attending Wabash College.
Besides having been a commander of the local post of the American Legion
he also was the posts service officer for 12 years, a position he held
until his health forced him to relinquish his duties. In this capacity
he served in all sections of Montgomery County and was generally
recognized as one of the most efficient service officers in the Indiana
department of the Legion. In addition to his activity in the veterans
organizations, Dr. Bushong also had been identified prominently with the
Masonic Lodge, Eastern Star and Elks. Surviving are the widow, one son,
Lt. John H. Bushong of the US Naval Air Corps, Corpus Christi, Tx; a
sister, Mrs. Omer Glover of this city and a niece, Maria Frances Glover
also of Crawfordsville. Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon
at 3 o'clock daylight saving time at the First Christian Church of which
the deceased was a member, the Rev. Paul Million, pastor of the church
and Rev. E.A. Arthur, Legion Chaplain will officiate with burial at
Waynetown Masonic Cemetery. The body was taken to the Utterback & Murphy
Funeral Home where friends may pay their respects until 1:45 o'clock
Monday afternoon when the body will be removed to the church to lie in
state one hour preceding the rites. Legion officials have announced that
a guard of honor will be maintained at the funeral home while the body
is kept there and that a military tribute will be accorded the deceased
at the grave. The local unit of the Legion Auxiliary of which Mrs.
Bushong is a past president also will honor the former commander at the
funeral home. */-- kbz/
