"A LONG LIVED FAMILY. Philip Miller of Perlee thinks he married into a long lived family. His wife was a daughter of John and Elizabeth Bush, who removed from Virginia to Muskingum County, Ohio, and lived near Uniontown for a number of years. To Mr. and Mrs. Bush nine children, five daughters and four sons, all now living. Two daughters, Mrs. Jane Horn and Mrs. Margaret Wener, still reside near the old home; two sons, Christopher and John, live in Indiana, while two sons David and William, and three daughters, Mrs. Thomas Wilson, Mrs. William Henry, and Mrs. Miller live in this county. The eldest of these children has passed the 79th milestone of life, while the baby of the family, William, is in his 61st year. . . . .Mr. Miller also adds that the result of his marriage is five living children, 47 grandchildren, 3 greatgrandchildren, and that of all these every male descendant who has attained his majority votes the republican ticket."
