  [S99] Farrar Funeral Home, (http://www.farrarfuneralhome.com), 24 Jan 2003. Frances Bush Clevenger obituary [S142] Newspaper Article, The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN), 11 Aug 1990. H. C. Bush, 94, whose father was founder of Bush Bros. & Co., died Thursday at his home after a brief illness. Bush's father started the firm in the 1890s as a small community canning company in the mountain town of Chestnut Hill, Tenn. The then-independent Blytheville Canning Co. was purchased in 1944. The Blytheville canning plant was on the brink of being sold when H. C. Bush took a liking to the town. He moved his family to Blytheville in 1949. The family-owned business has competed with big companies such as Del Monte and Libby for several decades under the Bush Brothers label. About 300 people are employed at the Blytheville plant. In addition to the plants in Arkansas and Tennessee, Bush Brothers operates two plants in Wisconsin, one in Muskogee, Okla., and one in Ville Platte, La. Bush Brothers had sales last year of about $85 million. The National Food Processors Association in 1974 elected Bush director emeritus, recognizing a career that spanned the industry from infancy. Bush helped plant, harvest and can his company's first pack in 1908 at age 13. He was a member of First United Methodist Church and the Rotary Club of Blytheville. An avid golfer, he scored his second hole-in-one at age 92. Services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at First United Methodist Church in Blytheville with burial in Greenwood Cemetery in Knoxville, Tenn. Cobb Funeral Home has charge. Bush leaves a daughter, Mrs. Jean Nankivell of Athens, Tenn.; two sons, Allen Bush of Blytheville and Condon Bush of Knoxville; a sister, Mrs. Frances Clevenger of Chesnut Hill, Tenn., 10 grandchildren and six great- grandchildren.
