DEATH OF JOHN BUSHBY
Old Resident Passes Away After Long Illness.

John Bushby died at midnight on Wednesday, after a long illness at the home of his sister, Mrs. Geo. Brunskill, by whom he had been faithfully nursed during his last sickness.

Mr. Bushby has lived in LeMars for the past seventeen years. He was a native of England, having been born in Yorkshire on November 13, 1836. When a lad he came with his parents to America. They settled at New Diggins in Wisconsin and later at White Oak Springs, where he lived until he came to LeMars.

The deceased leaves six brothers and one sister. He was never married. Mr. Bushby was of a quiet and unobtrusive nature and retiring disposition, but was well liked and esteemed by the friends he made. He was the soul of honesty and integrity and rendered to each man his due, expecting the same in return.

The funeral services will be held this afternoon at two o’clock at the home of his brother-in-law, George Brunskill, on East Sixth street, and the services will be conducted by Rev. G. F. Whitfield, pastor of the First Methodist church.
