Henry and Christina Bussey, was born
in Barboursville. West Va. May IS.
1889. At an early age she and her hon
ored parents moved to this city where
she resided until her death. For some
time past she had been an invalid, par
italy crippled by disease. and took no
active part in the concerns of life. Some
days ago the inroads of chronic dis
ease compelled her to take her bed
where she remained until death closed
the scene. Burdened with the weigh
of years and complication of physi
cal infirmities. 1t was very fortuna 4
for her that she received the utmo i
care and all possible physical comfoia
from her daughters, Mrs. NJ. S. BuE,,
