My name is Glen Eric Bush, only surviving child of Florence Alice Bush Bush. I just ran across this today, December 5, 2022, as I was polishing up our family ancestry before finalizing it. Melvin was my maternal 1st cousin. His mother & my mother Florence were sisters. There were 12 children in our mothers family. I was a late bloomer, almost in a different generation than Melvin and his brother James Junior, but I remember them well. I am pretty certain I am the only surviving maternal 1st cousin of the children of the 12 children of Joseph Andrew Jackson Bush & Florence Oriella "Ola" Victoria Houston Bush, and I am 79. Bless you children & descendants of Melvin.
