Note:
Robert S BUSH was buried in Evergreen cemetery, Fairfield, Iowa. 2nd.155. His headstone, however, was engraved "S. Robert Bush". He died on Wednesday, September 26, 1962. A previous Evergreen cemetery transcription inadvertently gave the death date as September 28, 1962, which would have been the day after his obituary was published. He was buried on Friday, September 28, 1962.
