WELL KNOWN FARMER IS LAID TO REST
Funeral Services Held Saturday From Seney M.E. Church for Harry Buss

Harry Buss, well known farmer of the Seney community, passed away very suddenly at his farm home south of Seney about noon, Thursday, March 17, 1938, from a heart attack. He was born April 17, 1890, at Kendalltown, Lafayette county, Wisconsin, and had reached the age of 48 years. In the year 1909 he came to this community and worked with his uncle, Wm. Buss, on a farm in Fredonia township, for several years. He was united in marriage to Lizzie Utech on February 26, 1914, and to this union two children were born, Marion and Earl, both living at home.

Besides his wife and children, he leaves to mourn his passing, his father, Silas Buss, of Darlington, Wis.; three brothers, Edward of LeMars; Will and Alvin of Mineral Point, Wis.; two sisters, Ann Buss and Mrs. R.E. McConnell, both of Darlington, Wis., as well as a host of relatives and many, many friends, who knew him as a quiet, loving husband and father and a capable farmer who walked close his Maker. Mr. Buss had been in poor health for several months, but of late had been feeling much better and the end came very unexpectedly which was a great shock to the whole neighborhood. He had a pleasant and loveable personality and his presence with us will be greatly missed both in church and social affairs.
