Tanner Salt Lake City, Utah February, 1969 J O H ?I B u S H i1 A N D I A ?. I E S John Bushrrun was born June 7, 1843 at .l'i9.Lvoo, Illinois. He died Hay 30., 1923, at S:?.lt fake City, Uta.h • ... He is buried at Joseph City, Arizon~. In l:!iarch, 1966, George S. Tanner ·was doing research on the Little Colorado River colonies, especially on Joseph City, when he ch':l.nced to meet Martin D. Bushman , grandson of John .dushnian, at Joseph City's Pioneer Celebration , 1~arch 24th,. Martin showed him the original 1876 pocket diary which his grandfather had kept, and explained that after John Bushman had used the diaries in 1918 to write up his jourr.al entitled 0 John Bush.man, His Life and labors" thirL'<ing the diaries were of no further use he tossed them in a bureac1 drawer and invited his children and grand -children who visited him to take one home as a keepsake. Martin D. hs.d his 11 keep-sake" diary which was written the year John !3ushman first want to Arizori.a vrith the pioneers, typed up, and he presented one to George Tanner. This vras 'Ghe beginning of an intensive and extensive search among members of the fa.mi ly for the nlost" diaries• It had been nearly fifty years since they had been consigned to the ubarea~ drawar., 0 The first diaries were recove:·ed rather easily and mther quickly. Alonzo E. 3ushJMn, a son, who resided in 1VJec;a had three years cf the db.rie.s and loaned them to be typad up. Sarah Smith Greaves of Salt fake City had of El .<,. year and a half and likewise loaned hers. Sarah Palmer Collinwood Monte, California., had three yea!'s and was willing to h:i.ve typed conies ;nade. Then there was a long search during which more th."ln three score letter:; were sent out., E"very clu9 was immediately and persistentl y follmved and it sometimes took three letters to get a reply. The pay-off finally came, however, when a letter fro::::. Mrs. Falph w. Ste'l'ta.rt, a grand-d1.ught e:i:- of Beverly Hills., Ca J.ifornia, re~realed that she had 31 of the little poeket diaries. It was in Jll!'s. Stewart's mother's home that the diaries had been len in the bureau drawer. Ther-a are still a few of the old dhries missing. It is certain he wrote dhries in 1894 and 1895 and they have not been found. There are other gaps in the diary story, but they ~y be due to fa.i lure of the author to record the events. Our present diaries cover a period from 1871 to 1923. Bushman 's hand writing, soelllng and constructio n are typical of the oioneer of the day. Some of the mispelled words have been corrected in the tyoing. Bush,'!l3.n spelled the word nwe', wee . 13ut aside_ from minor spelling chan[';es we have been pretty true to the origim l. Proper m.mes and particularl y capital letters have presented a problem in trS:.nscribin g. Ther,'3 were a number of ,{ irkhams in Lehi and Bushm"'-n usually soelled tnis nam~ Cir0um. V{here ever possible ·we have corrected mispelled oroper n3.mes . -2The hand written j ou rnal as \'Tell as th "' reco 1:-e red diqria s hg_v,~ been !!licrofilrr..ad and positives rriay be seen in all the , rinc ipa l li bn1.:ries of m .1 h s.nd Arizona as well as Bancroft E.1.nd T'. untington in Ca1.ifornia • ., Georges.

This has been a very eventful year to me. lly dear wife 1.!a.ry, after an illness of over l½ years died on the 5th of July leaving 3 dear little ones. This was the severiest blow I have ever experienced, on account of Lois having such a large family, 9, of her own & not being a strong wonan. , But I feel to acknowledge the hand , of the Lord in all things, & feel to thank Him for a name & standing in his church & for the many blessings he has bestowed on us & ,for the faith I have in the Gospel. We are all well and oretty comfortably situated, we are very grateful for the bountiful harvest the Lord blessed us with the past season & for his preserving care that has been with us. And we most earnestly implore his blessings over us . & all Israel for his preserving care & blessings upon us during the year that is now ushered in, as it is now 5 minutes past midnight, 1886. I thank God that I am at Peace with all man kind. -J.John Bushrran Dia!°'j 1886 January Copied by George S. Tanner J'l.n. 1, 1886: Friday. SnOV'ring all day.
