MRS. JULIA BUSSANMAS, Bevington

The funeral of Mrs. O. M. Bussanmas, whose death occurred Tuesday, Nov. 4th, was held from the church in St. Mary's Thursday morning. Requiem high mass was offered by the pastor, Rev. Jos. Minch, assisted by Revs. Condon and Pouget. Interment was in St. Mary's cemetery, it being the third death in the family in 20 months. A son, Frank, having died at Deming in March, 1918, a daughter, Mrs. Eva Downey, on last Christmas day.

Mrs. Bussanmas had been in failing health the past three months, but at time had been able to walk out and had been seriously ill but a week when she passed away as if in sleep, after walking from her bed to a chair. She comes from a large long lived family, all of whom were present at her funeral. Young and old will miss “Mother” Bussanmas, as she was a mother to us all. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved family, but more especially to her loyal, indulgent husband and companion for almost 50 years.
