My grandfather Lewis William Oborn’s mother died when he was 12 years old and enjoyed hearing stories about his mother Rhoda (Bushman) Oborn and great grandmother Elizabeth (Degen) Bushman from his grandfather Martin Benjamin Bushman. He felt a connection to his great grandmother Elizabeth (Degen) Bushman and used her maiden name Degen for his son’s middle name, who in turn felt the same connection when naming his daughter’s middle name Elizabeth using his great great grandmother’s first name who felt that same connection when naming her son’s first name Degan using her great great great grandmother’s maiden name and father’s middle name never knowing about Elizabeth (Degan) Bushman’s deathbed wish that her name to never to be forgotten until reading this story in December 2013. Thank you. I am using this story to be included in a book my Stake 2nd councillor, President Munk to our Stake President about our Gospel Pioneer to be given before our trip to Nauvoo for our youth conference in June. Thank you for sharing my great great great grandmother’s story. Natalie Faith Oborn
