Daily Freeman Tribune, Tuesday, November 1, 1904

Will Busing, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harm Busing of Kamrar, died very suddenly this morning about 8 o'clock. The young man, who was about twenty-four years of age, had been suffering for two or three years from tuberculosis. Yesterday he was up and about the house and this morning when he awakened, he asked his mother not to call him as he wished to sleep later, he being still tired. She permitted him to sleep and about 8 o'clock when she went to his bedroom, found him dead. He had merely gone to sleep and during this sleep his life had gone out.

The family formerly resided east of this city but about a year ago went to Kamrar. Ernest and Harmon Busing, well known here, are brothers of Will. Will was a young man of much promise, and although he had been suffering for some time with the dread tuberculosis, it was not suspected that he was in a serious condition. His sudden death was unexpected and comes as a severe shock to relatives and friends alike.

The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home in Kamrar and interment will be given in the German cemetery east of that place.
