Notes |
- !BIRTH: Family Bible
!DEATH: Missouri Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics.
!MARRIAGE: 1) On 15 June 1861 to CLEMMENS RUSH in Ark. Son WILLIAM RUSH born
July 1862.
!MISC: When Rush did not return from Civil War & her home was burned by
bushwackers, she walked, carrying her son, from Ark to Mo.
!MISC: After Dr. Sherwood died she took her large family to their farm to live
to escape the "city life" of a Missouri town.
This is Mary Ann's story as I (Lucile Reese) have heard it from Floyd and Ray. At the beginning of the Civil War, the House brothers joined the State Militia which was only expecting to keep order within the state. However, in some way they got involved in the Battle of Wilson's Creek near Springfield, MO, against the Federal force. That made them "rebels" and traitors, and since MO was a border state and control yo-yo'd from one side to the other, these Houses decided to go to Arkansas. Evidently Rush and wife Mary went too, or maybe they were married after they went there (In 1900 census Bill Rush said he was born in Ark.)
Mary Ann's husband, Clemmons Rush, was killed. I believe they said by bushwhackers, not in battle. Mary supported herself by weaving, but the bushwhackers came and tried to make her tell where her brothers were and burned her house, loom and all, of course. So she picked up Bill and stared for Missouri on foot. I have heard Floyd say that she said she got so hungry on the way that she ate grass.
