1896- 1900
Asa Smith Bushnell, governor of Ohio from 1896 to 1900, was a Springfield businessman who was identified with the Foraker wing of the Republican party. Born in 1834 into an old New England family in Rome, New York, he came to Ohio at the age of eleven. Bushnell's father, Daniel, was an active worker on the Underground Railroad, and a cousin, Simeon Bushnell, was imprisoned for his part in the Oberlin-Wellington rescue case. The future governor, however, seems to have been more interested in acquisitive enterprise than in antislavery agitation. He separated from his family at an early age, obtained a scant education in the public schools of Cincinnati, and, at seventeen, was supporting himself as a dry goods clerk in Springfield. Three years later he had risen to the more remunerative position of bookkeeper in a prominent business firm, and, following his marriage in 1857 to Miss Ellen Ludlow, he became a partner in his father-in-law's drug store.
Bushnell's business career was briefly interrupted in the summer of 1864. when he served as captain of a "hundred-day company" of infantry assigned to guard and picket duty in the Shenandoah Valley. Several years after the war he acquired a partnership in a concern which manufactured reapers and mowers. At this time Springfield was a center of the agricultural implement industry. Bushnell's firm flourished, and his holding in it was the principal source of his large fortune. During his later years, he was president not only of the implement company but also of the First National Bank of Springfield and of the Springfield Gas Company. He was also prominently connected with the street railway and telephone companies of the city.
Bushnell's first important political assignment came in 1885 when, as chairman of the Republican state executive committee, he managed the successful gubernatorial campaign of Joseph Benson Foraker. His own nomination as Republican candidate for governor in 1895 was obtained through the support of Foraker and George B. Cox, the political boss of Cincinnati, and against the opposition of the forces of John Sherman and Mark Hanna. In the ensuing campaign Bushnell defeated his Democratic opponent, James E. Campbell, by over 90,000 votes.
The first order of business in Bushnell's administration was the election of Foraker to the United States Senate. Foraker's influence remained strong throughout both of Bushnell's terms as governor. In 1896 the senator-elect secured the passage by the Ohio General Assembly of the notorious Rogers Law which permitted Cincinnati officials to grant a fifty-year extension of its franchise to the Cincinnati Street Railway Company. Senator Foraker later represented the transit firm before Governor Bushnell and the state board of tax remission and succeeded in winning a $285,000 reduction in the company's tax valuation.
In 1897 the elevation of John Sherman from his seat in the United States Senate to the post of secretary of state in President McKinley's cabinet presented Bushnell with a difficult decision. It was the governor's responsibility to name the person to fill the unexpired portion of Sherman's term. Mark Hanna was an avowed and determined candidate for the appointment, but Bushnell, a Foraker adherent and a long-time foe of Hanna in the state organization, was reluctant to give him the commission. Nevertheless he realized that a break with the national administration would be politically inexpedient. He delayed naming Hanna as long as possible, yielding at last when both the president and Boss Cox had signified their desire to have the appointment go to Hanna. At the Republican state convention in 1897 Bushnell was re- nominated, but, with the accession of Cox to the Hanna camp, the state party machinery passed to the control of Hanna. In the campaign of 1897 the election of a legislature which could be relied on to send the Clevelander to a full term in the senate seems to have been a more important goal of the party organization than the return of Bushnell to the statehouse. Bushnell was reelected, but by a much narrower margin of victory than in 1895. When the legislature assembled early in 1898, he supported the anti-Hanna group in a bitter but fruitless effort to prevent the election of Hanna to the senate.
Like Foraker and Secretary of War Russell A. Alger, with whom he was also on friendly terms, Bushnell was an advocate of intervention in Cuba. Even before the declaration of war with Spain in April 1898, he authorized the adjutant general to purchase sufficient stores of equip- ment to place Ohio's military establishment on a war footing; in the absence of legislative authorization for the expenditures, Bushnell gave his personal guarantee of payment for the purchases. He issued orders for the mobilization of the state's armed forces immediately upon receipt of the first presidential call and, in his annual message noted with pride that "Ohio was the first State in the Union to put a volunteer regiment in the field."
Despite or possibly because of the factional strife that characterized it, Bushnell's administration saw the enactment of legislation of consider- able significance. Acting on the governor's recommendation, the general assembly adopted laws levying excise taxes on public utility companies and certain other corporations. The increased revenues obtained from these measures led to the further development of corporation taxation in succeeding administrations and to the eventual abandonment of the direct property tax as a source of revenue for the state government.
Bushnell's attorney general, Frank S. Monnett, renewed the legal attack on the Standard Oil Company which one of his predecessors had begun some years earlier. Monnett also assisted Senator H. E. Valentine in the investigation of trust problems undertaken by a com- mittee of the state senate in 1898. As a result of this inquiry the legislature enacted the Valentine Act which defined and prohibited various trust practices and specified criminal penalties for violations of the law.
Among the more notable achievements of the Bushnell administra- tion were several pieces of social legislation which gave state authorities more power to regulate the employment and hours of work of minors in factories and mines, improved the working conditions of women in factories, and imposed sanitary standards for bakeries. The general assembly also passed bills substituting electrocution for hanging in the execution of the death sentence, regulating the practice of medicine in the state through the establishment of a board of medical registration and qualification, and authorizing the erection of the judiciary annex to the statehouse. Governor Bushnell took a keen interest in the planning and construction of this building, the cornerstone of which was laid in 1899.
Upon relinquishing the governorship in January 1900, Bushnell resumed the direction of his business interests in Springfield. Shortly thereafter he sold his mower company to the International Harvester Company. At the time of his death, which occurred in January 1904, he was engaged in the promotion of an electric interurban railway to connect Springfield and neighboring cities. He was survived by his widow, two daughters, and a son. The Ohio State University

THE comment has often truthfully been made that deserved appreciation of really great men is too frequently withheld until death awakens society, or a State, to a sense of its loss. This is less true of Asa Smith Bushnell than of most distinguished personages. There was never a period in his notable career when his mental equipment was not recognized by friend and foe alike as of a superior order. None ever failed to credit him with high moral purpose, true nobility of character, sterling sense of justice, able and comprehensive statesmanship, and firm adherence to the loftiest of political, social, and business ideals. This unanimous concession to his worth and greatness wholly disarmed the temporary determination due to partisan exigency, and entirely shamed those few of his pretended political friends who could not debauch his integrity nor swerve his independence. Nor did he disappoint any intelligent opinion of his exceptional qualities of heat and heart by retirement form public life, but, on the contrary, continued to add to acquired esteem by a constant display of ability and usefulness. At his death, his place was as easily that of the first citizen of his State, as when he enjoyed the distinction due to the chief executive. This Universal estimate of his exalted character became more pronounced after his sudden departure. The restraints of politics were removed. Sentiment assumed free and open expression. He was deliberately reweighed in all his attributes of character, in all his accomplishments, in all his relations to public and civic affairs, and what has been the common verdict was only rendered the more emphatic. Honors, no matter how profuse, were all too insufficient for the distinguished head. Mourning, however sincere and general, was but a feeble expression of the deep-seated sense of the bereavement. It was Asa Smith Bushnell who had been gathered to his fathers. Through critical, yet most kind analysis, through sympathetic eulogium, and through touching dirge, was assigned his deservedly exalted niche in the hall of fame, there to stand as an encouragement to the noble endeavor and as an inspiration to aspiring youths. Asa Smith Bushnell, two times Governor of the State of Ohio, was of the eighth generation of his family in the United States. The Bushnell name has ever been an honorable one, the members of the family having been upright men and women, much devoted to morality, religion and education; lovers of liberty, loyal to their county, ever ready to sacrifice personal ease and comforts for principle and the good of their fellow men, and ever taking in intelligent interest in the welfare of their respective communities. The identity of Governor Bushnell`s real ancestor among the first comers to this country is not absolutely certain. One writer takes the following position: William Bushnell, son of John, with five or six brothers, was an early emigrant from England. Remaining but a short time in massachusetts, he, with his brothers Francis and Richard, directed their course to Guilford, Connecticut, attracted thither probably by their acquaintance with and relation to some of the settlers in that neighborhood, one of whom was Francis Bushnell, "Ye Elder," who might have been their uncle. These brothers occupied prominent places in their respective communities. William was appointed lieutenant of the train band, was elected deputy to the General Assembly, and held other offices of trust. He died in 1664. Among his descendants who have attained distinction may be named the late Dr. Horace Bushnell, of Hartford. Francis, the second of the brothers, was the second deacon of the church and a man of prominence. He built the first gristmill in the town, receiving a valuable perquisite of land on the condition that he would run the mill for the accommodation of the inhabitants. He died in 1681. Richard, the third son, was the direct ancestor of Governor Bushnell. According to the records of the "Old Northwest" Genealogical Society, the line of descent is as follows: Francis Bushnell, "Ye Elder," and his wife, Rebekah (Holmes) Bushnell, of Horsted in Surrey, sailed from London in 1639. During the voyage the passengers formulated the plantation covenant and Francis Bushnell was among the signers. The company reached New Haven in July, purchased the land from the Indians, and established a plantation which remained independent until 1643, when it was admitted to the New Haven colony and name Guildforde. Frances Bushnell died in 1646 and his will was the first probated in Guildforde. One of the sons of Francis Bushnell was (II.) Richard, who removed from Guildford to Saybrook in 1647, after the burying of Saybrook fort, when his services as carpenter were in demand. On October 11, 1648, he married Mary, the daughter of Matthew and Elizabeth Marvin, of Hartford, who came from England in 1635. He died at Saybrook in 1658, leaving the widow and four small children. The two sons, Joseph and Richard, were removed to the Norwich settlement, where they are reckoned among the original or first class of planters. Richard was for a half century prominent in public life, having been town clerk for thirty years, a member of the General Assembly for thirty-eight sessions, constable, schoolmaster, captain of the train band, town agent, just of the peace and speaker of the House. The other brother (III.) Joseph, who was born in May, 1651, married, on November 28, 1673, Mary, daughter of Thomas Leffingwell, one of the proprietors and first settlers of Norwich. Joseph died on December 23, 1746, and his wife on March 31, 1745. Joseph Bushnell complained against himself to Richard Bushnell, justice of the peace, for that he had killed a buck, contrary to law. He was sentenced to pay a fine of ten shillings, one-half to the county treasurer and one-half to the complainant. One is puzzled to know whether to admire Joseph more for his conscientiousness or his shrewdness, as by self accusation in the abatement of the fine and the value of the buck, he must have made a little money. (IV.) Nathan Bushnell, the seventh child and fourth son of Joseph, was born at Norwich, February 22, 1686, and died October 7, 1770. He married, first, December 2, 1713, Anne Cary, and second, December 12, 1715, Mehitable Allen. Of the eight children by the second marriage (V.) Joseph, born July 20, 1716, was the eldest. He was twice married, first to his cousin, Abigail Bushnell, and second, on August 25, 1745, to Elizabeth French. He died June 5, 1796, at Norwich. His fourth son was (VI.) Jason Bushnell, who was born at Norwich, Connecticut, September 12, 1763, and died near Cincinnati, Ohio, in September, 1847. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, having enlisted from the town of Norwich in Captain Miel`s company of General Waterbury`s brigade, which subsequently joined Washington and served until the close of the war. In 1785, he married Hannah Kirkland, and, after her death, Sarah Smith. In 1811, with his wife Sarah and four of their ten children, he removed to Rome, New York, where he farmed for many years. In 1845, he and his wife removed to Cincinnati, Ohio, where his death occurred. (VII.) Daniel Bushnell, the fifth son of Jason, and father of Governor Bushnell, was born in Lisbon, Connecticut, on February 17, 1800, and died in October, 1884, in Ohio. He was eleven years old when the family removed to Rome, New York, but the following year he walked the entire distance back to Connecticut, where he lived for some years with his sister while securing his education. Returning to Rome, engaged in teaching school, in which manner he was occupied for thirty years during the winters, caring for his farm during the summers. Among his pupils was his own son, Asa Smith Bushnell, who has testified to the ability and success of his father as a teacher and disciplinarian. On March 9, 1825, Daniel Bushnell married Harriet Smith, of whom Governor Bushnell, her son, said: "Whatever of success my father attained in his various employments of farmer, teacher and public officer, was due in large part to the great energy, untiring effort and cheerful co-operation of my mother. Her house was a model and her heart was in his work. Her life was a benediction, her presence always an inspiration." In 1845, the family removed to Cincinnati, where Daniel Bushnell resided for eleven years, being engaged in teaching and was also justice of the peace and assessor. He was a strong opponent of slavery and from 1845 to 1856 was an active agent and "conductor" of the underground railroad. In 1856, he removed to Oberlin, Ohio, where also he served as assessor and justice of the peace, being re-elected continuously to the latter office until, on account of advancing years, he declined to serve longer. There also he was active in the interests of fugitive slaves. To Daniel and Harriet Bushnell were born the following children: Hannah Vera, born January 10, 1828, became the wife of William H. Hayford; Eliza Ann, born April 8, 1830, became the wife of William H. Morgan; Asa Smith is the immediate subject of this sketch; Albert Mason, born March 3, 1839, died May 8, 1887, at Indianapolis, Indiana; Lemira lee, born March 17, 1846, died February 17, 1847; Harriet Amelia, born December 14, 1848, died October 27, 1850. (VIII.) Asa Smith Bushnell was born at Rome, New York, on the sixteenth of September, 1834, and was named after his mother`s brother. As was intimated above, his early education was gained under the direction and instruction of his father at Rome. He was but eleven years old when the family removed to Ohio, and he remained at home but one year after that. At the age of twelve years he started out for himself. For a limited period he attended the public schools of Cincinnati, and at the age of seventeen years, in 1851, he went to springfield, seeking employment. For three years he was employed as clerk in a dry-goods store, his evening hours being devoted to the study of bookkeeping, thus early evidencing those qualities of industry and laudable ambition which were the keynotes to his later success. In 1854, he became bookkeeper for the firm of Leffel, Cook & Blakeney, at Springfield, remaining in their employ until 1857, gaining valuable experience and acquiring an insight into business methods. In the spring of 1857 he became a bookkeeper and traveling salesman for Warder, Brokaw & Childs, manufacturers of mowers and reapers. He remained in this position but a few moths, when he formed a partnership with his father-in-law, Dr. John Ludlow, in the drug business, and, with the exception of the period of his service in the army during the Civil War, he continued in this business for ten years. In 1867, he was admitted as a partner in the firm of his old employers, the firm name being changed to Warder, Mitchell & Company. He was thereafter, up to the time of his death, identified with this company, first as active manager of the enterprise, and later, when the business was incorporated as the Warder, Bushnell & Glessner Company, he became its president, continuing in that capacity until his death. This became one of the most extensive enterprises of its kind in the world and much of its success was directly attributable to the business ability and energies of Mr. Bushnell. He also took a live interest in other business enterprises in Springfield, being for many years President of the First National Bank of that city and of the Springfield Gas Company, being also a director in other local business enterprises. In all these enterprises he displayed keen, practical and effective business judgment and from them, particularly the mower and reaper works, he amassed a comfortable fortune. During the war of the rebellion Asa S. Bushnell was not found wanting in his evidence of loyalty to the government. He was a leading spirit in the raising of Company E, On Hundred and Fifty-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, of which he was commissioned captain and which was mustered in on May 10, 1864. The command served mainly in the Shenandoah Valley and, being assigned principally to guard and picket duty, it was not engaged in many important battles. Captain Bushnell was mustered out with his company and regiment on September 2, 1864. Politically, Mr. Bushnell was a life-long Republican and early in his career he took an active interest in political matters, keeping a close touch with the thought of the day. His ability and capability were recognized and in 1885 he became chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee, and in that year the party not only elected Joseph Foraker Governor by a handsome plurality, but secured a Republican majority in the General Assembly, thus securing the re-election of John Sherman to the United States Senate. The following year he was appointed quartermaster-general of the State and served four years in that capacity. In 1887, Mr. Bushnell was nominated by acclamation for lieutenant-governor on the ticket with Governor Foraker, but for business reasons he declined to accept the nomination. In 1889 there was a general demand that he should head the State ticket of his party, but he positively refused to allow his name to be used, probably through his friendship for Governor Foraker, who was a candidate for re-nomination. In 1891, he was again urged to become a gubernatorial candidate, but declined and support William McKinley who became the nominee by acclamation. In 1892, and again in 1896, he was one of the delegates to the Republican national convention. In several different years he was urged to stand for Congress, but refused. In may, 1895, Mr. Bushnell was nominated for governor by the Republicans, though he had not been a candidate and his name had not been formally presented to the convention. He was elected by a plurality of ninety-two thousand, six hundred and twenty-two, the largest plurality that had ever up to that time been received by an Ohio governor with the single exception of John Brough, the war governor, who received practically the entire vote cast. In November, 1897, he was reelected for a second term as governor, receiving a plurality of twenty-eight thousand, the greatest ever given in Ohio in a year following a presidential election. He retired from the office in January, 1900, and there after devoted the remainder of his life to his business affairs. Governor Bushnell`s administration was not a spectacular one, but was in many respects noteworthy, being, all in all, one of the most successful in the history of the State. He brought to the discharge of the duties of his office, not only ripe experience and a thorough knowledge of business affairs, but a conscientious desire and intention that, so far as was possible, sound business principles and methods should be applied to the administration of State affairs. He was not hampered by a desire for other or higher official positions (McArthur)

- CHARLES LUDLOW, a prominent pharmacist of Springfield, in which city he was born February 3, 1842, occupies a well-arranged room at No. 55 East Main Street. He carries a large and varied stock of drugs and medicines, and in addition to his large business in that line, makes a specialty of handling lubricating oils. The handsome fittings of his establishment make it an ornament to the business section of the city, and his beautiful residence on East High Street is an equal addition to that section.
The father of our subject was John LUDLOW, who about the year 1840 established one of the first drug stores in this city, to the business of which the son Charles succeeded. The widow of John LUDLOW and mother of our subject is Elmina, daughter of Capt. Frederick GETMAN, who was born in Herkimer County, N. Y., and is still living in Springfield, now in her seventy-fifth year. Her father was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was descended from natives of Holland. A further history of the family will be found elsewhere in this Album.
The early school days of our subject were passed in Springfield whence he departed in 1859 to an institution of learning elsewhere, finally completing his studies at Dayton. In 1861, he became a member of Company H. Thirty-second Ohio Infantry, being made Second Sergeant on the organization of the company. The regiment, which was under the command of Col. Thomas FORD, was sent to the mountainous regions of West Virginia where for some months it rendered efficient service under Gen. REYNOLDS. In the following year young LUDLOW was transferred to the regimental hospital where he acted in the capacity of Hospital Steward until October 24, 1862 when he received his discharge.
Returning to his native place Mr. LUDLOW became interested in his father's drug store, to which as before stated, he finally succeeded, on the death of his parent. He belongs to Mitchell Post, No. 145, G. A. R., and it is hardly necessary to state, affiliates with the Republican party. Both he and his wife are native members in Christ Episcopal Church and he is a member of the vestry. He is fortunate in being able to surround himself with the home comforts which are desirable, to bestow upon his children good advantages, and to assist in many good works as a less prosperous business man could not.
The refined woman under whose care Mr. LUDLOW'S dwelling is a home in deed and in truth, became his wife in 1866. Prior to that time she was known as Miss Ella R. SPENCER, having many friends in Springfield, which is her native city and the place in which she received her education. Her parents Richard S. and Ellen SPENCER removed from Lynn, Mass., to this city, her father having been a native of his former place of abode. Mr. and Mrs. LUDLOW have three children-Frederick R. B., Ellen S. and Charles R. The elder son is a partner in the store.

Mr. Van Valkenburg passed from this life Sunday morning at his home on Gansevoort street, due to ailments that accumalated with the passing years. He was a Christian man whose example and influence tended to elevate society and the memory of his constancy and faith will long remain an inspiration.
Mr. Van Valkenburg was born February 10, 1834, on the paternal homestead in the town of Manheim, being at the time of his death in his 81st year. His incestors came from Holland in 1645 and resided for a time in Albany later joining tho migration to the Mohawk valley. His parents were: John Van Valkenburg and Stella Finck, the latter a granddaughter of Major Finck of Fincks Basin.
Forty-nine members of the Van Valkenburg family defended the patriot cause, in the army of the Revolutionists. Mr. Van Valkenburg led the life of a farmer for seventy years on the homestead farm about three miles east of this city, and for a number of years conducted a milk route in the city. Ten years ago he retired and mloved to the city, turning the business over to his son, William S. Van Valkenburg. His connection with the Presbyterian church of this city was marked with fidelity and length of years. He became an elder on June 30, 1806, and continued to serve as such, continuously to the time of death a period of forty-eight years. His record is that of an honorable man one who enjoyed the fullest confldence of his neighbors, a man of firmly rooted principle and one whose sense of right and Justice, shone forth in all his dealings.
Mr. Van Valkenburg was married on January 20, 1863, to Miss Emma Snell, who survives with their three sons, William S. of Manheim, Dr. John Leroy Van Valkenburg of Chicago, and Edward Andrew Van Valkenburg of Omaha, Nebraska.
The funeral will be held from the late home of the deceased at 10 o'clock this morning, Rev. A. J. Wyman of the Presbyterain church will officiate and the remains will be taken to Fort Plain for interment in the cemetery at that place.
