 | | The ceremony was performed in Stanton, Franklin county, Missouri by the Reverend Frederic Speck, a “minister of the gospel.” Susan was a daughter of Seth Chatwood Massey and Sarah Ann Williams. |
 | | John’s wife, Susan, continued on trying to raise their 5 children, but she too succumbed to the hardships of her life and died June 21, 1890, in Steelville, MO. She was buried on June 23, 1890, in Steelville, presumably with her husband in an unknown cemetery. |
 | | Family records indicate that John Henry Usher was born in 1839, but he told his muster officer that his age was 26 in 1861 and the 1850 Franklin county census (age 15), strongly indicate 1835 as his birth year. |
