Elkader Register & Argus, Thur., 09 Jan. 1908. Elkport and Vicinity column.

Died, at her home in Elkport, Monday morning, about nine o'clock, Mrs. Martin Bushkofsky, aged almost 67 years, after an extended illness of years, as she was a sufferer from asthma. Mrs. Bushkofsky was born in Germany in 1841 and came to America with her husband about forty years ago. She was the mother of nine children, but has only two living, viz: Robt. Bushkofsky, who lives on the home place, and Martha Orff, of Charter Oak, Iowa, besides her husband, who are left to mourn her death. Mrs. Bushkofsky was a kind and loving mother and wife and will be missed, especially by her aged husband. Funeral services were held Wednesday at 1:00 o'clock at the Lutheran church, Rev. Linnenbuerger officiating. The entire community extend sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

(Note: Her gravestone photo is on the IGPP. She is shown in WPA records as Henrietta Buskossky, 1841 - 06 Jan. 1908, buried in Elkport Lutheran cemetery.)
