Bio

Martha Emma Bushman was born to Martin Benjamin Bushman and his second wife, Martha Worlton, in Lehi, Utah. She grew up in a loving home environment and was a faithful daughter of God. The old home were she grew up is still there in Lehi at 316 N. 2nd W. and still in the family. It was built by her father, Martin B. Bushman. Martha married William John Gurney in the Salt Lake Temple in 1903. Ten children blessed their home: Belva who married Val Johnson; Della, June, Sarah Delvora, Martha, Leo, Lynn, Martin Dean, Elsie and Richard Gurney. Martha lived a good life, raised her children well and left this life when she was only 44 years old. The loss was met with resolve to keep the family close. Belva, the oldest daughter (my mother in-law) became the mother figure in the home until her own marriage in December 1927 and for all the years after. Still years later the brother's and sister's adored each other and looked forward to the Gurney reunions at Wines Park in Lehi where Aunt Del would sing, "I Have A Testimony." They are all deceased now but the loving relationships continue. There are still Gurney reunions in the park in the summer. The foundations these wonderful ancestors gave each descendant are precious memories locked in the heart. //// name: William J Gurney birthplace: Utah relationship to head of household: Self residence: Lehi Ward 2, Utah, Utah marital status: Married race : White gender: Male immigration year: father's birthplace: Utah mother's birthplace: Utah family number: 172 page number: 9 Household Gender Age William J Gurney M 29y spouse Martha E Gurney F 27y child Bellva M Gurney F 5y child June Gurney M 2y child Sarah D Gurney F 1y ///////////////////// Utah Death Index Search Results Record Series: 81448 Person Who Died Name: GURNEY, MARTHA EMMA Death Date: 13 September 1926 Sex: FEMALE Age: 044 County: UTAH Note: Died of perotinitius after surgery for infected gall bladder.......She was only 44 years old.......
