which time he was forced to give up
his ministry, Rev. DIR. Frank Brush
died at 5.45 yesterday at the OF
tumNa hospital from the effects of an
operation for relief of an obstruction

The aillnent from the effects of
was first discovered when he recently
visited at Council Bluffs. He was
taken suddenly i'll with appendicitis
and was operated upon but failed to
regain his strength and the wound
continued to give him trouble after
the operation and did not heal as ex

Der of acquaintance formed while a

other numerous friends to him while
here.
His pastorate while here was very
successful and he accomplished much
good in his field of labors. but his
labors were brought to an untimely
close by i'll health.
His condition became such that it
was deemed best to give up the minis
try, which he Gid and left this city for
Long Branch, Calf. in the hope of re-
gaining his lost health
Health Quest Failed.
From Long Branch Cal. he sought
other health restoring points in Geor-
gia and Connecticut. finally going to
Lyman county. South Dakota, where
he hoped in the country air to recuper-
ate and regain his former condition. 1t
was while living in South Dakota that
he visited Des Moines and Council
Bluffs where at the latter place his first
operation took place.
Rev. Dr. Frank Brush was born in
New York state March 10, 1853. He
began his studies for the ministry, at
Fayette Upper Iowa college, taking a
three years collegiate course From
there he went to the state university
at Iowa City, graduating in 1874. After
his graduation at the state university
he remained there and instructed in
Latin for one year.
He next entered Garrett Biblical in
stitute at Evans ton, ILL.,, and graduated
from there in 1877. His first charge
as a minister was at Clermont. Among
the several places at which he served
as pastor before coming here, were
Iowa City and Dubuque.
He came to Ottumwa as pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal church
in October, 1896. and continued here
as pastor until failing health caused
him to give UP the work in January.
