Memoir
James B. Bussey, son of Thompson and Elizabeth Bussey, was born in Bland County, Virginia, March 29, 1864, departed this life July 18, 1942, ages 78 years, three months, 19 days.
His parents were descendents of the first settlers in Bland County, Virginia.
James was the youngest son of a family of six children. His brothers William and George, came to Ohio about the year 1880 and settled near New Petersburg, Ohio.
In August, 1888, he came to visit his brothers here and decided he would remain in Ohio.
The remainder of the family consisting of three sisters, who stayed in Virginia. Of these brothers and sisters,
all have preceded him in death.
On November 25, 1891, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Sarah C. Fittro Diven, who passed away March 22, 1934.
In the year 1890, during a revival service at the Friends Church under the direction of Elizabeth Marshall and Elizabeth Larkin, he gave his heart to Christ.
His faith in Christ led him through misfortune and sorrow to a hopeful eternity.
He was an honest and industrious citizen. No one could call him a slacker for Jim, as he was called, was always ready to do his part.
One great misfortune in his life was on Nov. 2, 1890, when his left arm was torn off in a corn shredder. Even this did not daunt his ambition. He continued to farm for awhile. Afterwards bought hogs and drove them to East Monroe for shipment.
He sold out his property here and went to North Dakota where he was a watchman in a large lumber yard. Coming back to Ohio he made his home with Mr. and Mrs. George Garman and their son, O. S. Garman, for several years. Finally unable to work and afflicted with rheumatism he was taken to a rest home at Greenfield, Ohio, where he passed away.
So his book of life was closed and while he is gone, we will always cherish his memory as a good friend and neighbor.
