Death of Pioneer Lady
Mrs. William J. Bushby passed away about 9 o'clock on Christmas morning at her home, three miles south of Ireton, following an illness of several months duration. The immediate cause of her death was pneumonia, although she suffered a stroke some months ago and has been bedfast since that time and due to he advanced years did not possess power of resistance sufficient to successfully combat the acute attack of pneumonia

Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the home, conducted by Rev. J. L. DeWitt, pastor of the Ireton M. E. church, and interment was made in the Ireton cemetery.

Grandma Bushby was about 84 years of age and was one of the real pioneers of this vicinity, locating on the farm south of Ireton about forty years ago. Her husband passed away some ten years ago. For a number of years her son, Walker Bushby and family, have resided on the farm and made a home for her.

She is survived by four sons and two daughters, William, Chris, Elmer, Walker and Miss Anna Bushby, all of whom reside in the vicinity of Ireton, and Mrs. Daisy Worcester of Witten, S. D. The sympathy of the community is extended to the members of the bereaved family in their sorrow.
