This Black History Month, we are acknowledging a powerful chapter of Wayne County history through the life of William Bush.
According to historical accounts, William Bush had himself shipped in a wooden box to escape the bonds of slavery in North Carolina. He arrived in the care of the Coffin family in Newport, Indiana (Now Fountain City, IN). Bush decided to remain in Newport. He was a successful blacksmith, and he became a conductor on the Underground Railroad, helping others caught in the bonds of slavery on their trek to freedom.
Bush died in 1898 and is buried at Fountain City’s Willow Grove Cemetery. The wooden shoes he once wore are on display at Levi and Catharine Coffin House State Historic Site
His life serves as a powerful reminder of why these histories must be preserved and shared.
