Wednesday, December 06, 1905M. R. DEBUSK IS DEAD
Word Received Here Telling of the Death of a Well Know Man Presumably of Typhoid Fever
A telegram was received this (Wednesday) morning by Thaddeus Prall, of 1808 Locust street, this city, telling of the death of M. R. DeBusk at Greeley. Colo., to which place he went from here about two years ago. His death was presumably caused from typhoid fever, although the relatives here are not positive as to its cause. His daughter, Miss Olive, had been ill for some weeks with typhoid and it is thought he succumbed to the same disease. He had been ill about five weeks.
Mr. DeBusk removed from this city about two years ago. During his residence here he was engaged in the grain business, but since going to Greeley he had been in the insurance business, being secretary of the Northwestern Mutual Fire Insurance Company.
He was fifty-four years of age and leaves his wife and daughter, Miss Olive. Thaddeus Prall is his father-in-law and Mrs. Frank Limpus, who lives southeast of the city his niece. He was well know here and had many friends who will learn of his death with pain.
It is not yet definitely known whether the remains will be brought here for interment.
