Help reading a surname on death certificate

Question

The maiden name of the mother of Lydia Jane (Lewis) Ferguson is given on her death certificate (viewable at Ancestry.com; see weblink below).  Online trees say that her mother's maiden name was Brust, but it looks more like Brush to me.  The last letter doesn't look like the other "t"s, which had a long crossing line to the right of the "t".  I think it looks more like an "h".  Any opinions on this?

Lewis or Lewisall.Could she been married before.???

Answer 2

I'm going to guess it was Bush.  You can see that the name has been overwritten.  It looks like the mother had at least three children who died after 1900.  If you could find a second death certificate, that might help.
