MARLIN E. TUSHA FAMILY
Marlin E. Tusha, Edward and Rose’s only child, was born living. He married Donna Brookhouser, daughter of Ralph and Rose
Brookhouser of Verdigre, Nebraska, on January 3, 1951. Their
children are: Genille (McDyre) of Perryville, Maryland, who has a
son Simon; Russell, living with his parents in Florida, and Kenneth,
Verdigre, Nebraska, who has a son Brendan.
Marlin, who has been a pilot with Pan American Airlines since his
stint in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict, has maintained
property interests in Nebraska and the Verdigre area.
Dr. Kenneth R. Tusha, Marlin’s youngest son, was born living. Married to Mary Keenan of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on October 27,
1984, he is now a dentist in Verdigre. Their son, Brendan James, was
born living.
Thus, the Tusha family heritage in the Verdigre community began in
1879, before the incorporation of Verdigre as a municipality and
continues into its sixth generation in Verdigre’s centennial year of
1987.
