Aged Lady Died at County Home

Mrs Ferdinand Buska Passed Away Thursday, September 22 of old Age, Funeral Held Saturday

The death of Mrs Ferdinand Buska occurred at the Chickasaw County Home on September 22, 1921 from ailments due to old age. She had been taken to the Home two weeks ago because it was believed that a better opportunity to care for her in her old age was afforded at this fine institution.

The deceased, Fredericka Scholtz was born in Germany, December 2, 1832. She grew to young womanhood there and was married in the land of her birth to Ferdinand Buska, who died in Germany.

She came to the United States with her daughter, Mrs Fred Roehrich as settled in Chickasaw County which remained her home until her death.

The remains were removed from the County Home to the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Herman Stolfus on Pleasant Hill from which place the funeral was held Saturday afternoon to the St Pauls Lutheran Church. Rev. G.J. Ide officiated at the services. Interment was made in Graceland cemetery.

The deceased was the mother of five children, three of whom are dead. Those living are Mrs John Wulzein of Boyd and Mrs Fred Roehrich of this city.

Sympathy is extended to the relatives of this fine old mother.
