William Bushnell

BUSHNELL, William, physician, born in Hartford, Connecticut, 10 September, 1800. His father settled in Trumbull county, Ohio, in 1805, and in Ashland county in 1820. William studied medicine in the Ohio medical College, supporting himself by teaching, practiced a year in Louisiana, and in 1828 opened an office in Mansfield, Ohio. He became interested in the New York, Lake Erie, and Western railroad, and, when the enterprise was threatened with failure, devoted eight years to superintending the building of the road, securing the right of way, and raising the capital. He was a member of the Ohio legislature in 1849 and succeeding years, and assisted in passing the Ohio school-law. In 1878 he was a delegate to the international congress for prison reform at Stockholm.
