Bushnell, Edward R. (Edward Rogers), 1876-1951

Edward Bushnell (1865-1944) was born in Fremont, Ohio, to Ebenezer and Cornelia K. Woodruff Bushnell. Bushnell's father, an acquaintance of President Rutherford B. Hayes, was a Presbyterian minister and secretary-treasurer of Western Reserve College in Cleveland, Ohio. Because of Ebenezer Bushnell's work with the college, the family relocated to Cleveland in the 1880s and three of his sons, George, Thomas H. and Edward attended the school.

Edward Bushnell received his B.A. and M.A. from Western Reserve College in 1887 and 1889 respectively. He was admitted to the bar in 1891 and joined the firm of Sampliner and Bushnell in 1896.
