"Sorrow abideth but for a night but joy cometh in the
morning" was written long years ago, and is but a
poetic fancy. There is sorrow in the home of William
Bush, a few miles northeast of the city which time
alone can heal. On March 10th the death angel came
to his home and took to her final resting place his
loved companion. Deceased was the daughter of A. J.
Miller and wife, old time residents of the county, and
born on the old homestead in Fayette county, on
May 1, 1866, being at the time of her death 30 years,
9 months and 19 days old. She was united in marriage
on July 9, 1883, to William Bush of Erie County,
New York. Their first child was born to them in
Dakota May 21, 1884 and died in October the same
year. Their second child, Allen, was born October 22, 1892
and the infant child September 5, 1896, who still survive
her. Mrs. Bush was taken sick with the measles on
February 26, 1897 and was seriously ill from the first, and
her life went out with great suffering, with no loving word
for those left behind to mourn her departure, nor look of
remembrance on the parting scenes amid which she had
been reared. The remains were taken from the family home
to Otsego cemetery Friday forenoon, where they were laid
to rest, and they services were held in the M. E. church at two
o'clock in the afternoon, Rev. Triem preaching a suitable
discourse using as his text 51st verse of the 15th chapter of
1st Corinthians; "Behold I show you a mystery; we shall not all
sleep, we shall all be changed."
