George Bussell Called To His Reward –
A great sadness has again settled over Wolbach and the community, caused by the death of George Bussell which occurred about eleven o'clock Wednesday night. Mr. Bussell had suffered an attack of acute indigestion earlier in the day, but his condition was so much improved that there seemed to be no cause for alarm. His son, Stanton had driven to Lincoln Wednesday morning and on his return in the evening had talked with his father and thought that he was resting comfortably. In his talk with Stanton, Mr. Bussell requested that he be sure all was well at the filling station when he closed for the night. Mrs. Bussell was alone in the room with Mr. Bussell, when he spoke her name and reaching for her hand, the end came suddenly.
In the passing of George Bussell, the community at large suffers an almost irreparable loss. George was known for his ever ready friendliness to one and all. He was a man of the highest ideals, a man clean minded above the average and generous to a fault. His home was his haven and his first thought was always for others rather than self. Besides his immediate family who will miss his ever kindly consideration, will be Mr. Abe Esterbrook who has been a close companion of Mr. Bussell and his family, living in their home much of the time for the past several years. The sorrowing loved ones have the sympathy of a host of friends in their bereavement. The funeral was largely attended, but on account of the rain many were unable by their presence to pay their last respects to a noble character.
OBITUARY – George Alfred Bussell was born October 12, 1878 at Cairo, Nebraska and departed from this life November 29, 1933, reaching an age of 55 years, 1 month and 17 days.
At the age of 10 yeas he moved with his parents to the state of Oregon where they remained about two years after which they moved back to Cairo, Nebraska. In 1897 they moved near Wolbach following the occupation of farming.
On November 12, 1900 he was united in marriage to Lottie Eastabrook. To this union were born four children, Darold, Kenneth, Stanton and Forrest. The mother of these children died December 17, 1926. He was again united in marriage to Elvira Baker April 4, 1928.
Since the spring of 1931 he was a resident of Wolbach. For a short time he was in the implement business soon taking charge of the Sinclair filling station.
Besides his wife and four sons he leaves to mourn his sudden departure four grand children, his father, George A. Bussell, Denver, Colo; two brothers, Clarence of Elmonte, California and Oscar of Huntley, Wyoming; one sister Bessie Hall of Denver, Colorado; one half-sister, Vera of Denver, Colorado.
He was a kind husband, a loving father. Brother Bussell's life was characterized by loving service, honor, uprightness and optimism. These attributes of his character made him an asset to the community. He was a member of the Methodist Church. Also a member of the official board. He had an abiding faith in God, and based his life on this faith. "God's Will For You and Me. Just to be tender, just to be true, Just to be glad, the whole day through, Just to be merciful, just to be mild, Just to be trustful as a child, Just to be gentle and kind and sweet, Just to be helpful with willing feet, Just to be cheery when things go wrong, Just to drive sadness away with a song, Whether the hour is dark or bright, Just to be loyal to God and right, Just to believe that God knows best, Just in his promises over the rest—Just to let love be our daily key, That is God's will for you and me." Anonymous.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal church in Wolbach, Saturday afternoon, in charge of Rev. H. A. Feldman. Funeral sermon was preached by Rev. G. E. Moore of Guide Rock. He was laid to rest in the Hillside cemetery.
The relatives attending the funeral from a distance were Mr. Bryon Baker Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Robert Baker and Mrs. S. J. Baker, Miss Creda Baker, A. H. Baker and Bryon Baker Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Siegrald Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Johnson and Mrs. Crede Johnson, all of Weeping Water; Mrs. Jess Bolen and Mr. Charley Allen of Grand Island, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Allen of Phillips; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Braddock of Hastings and John Eastabrook of Lincoln.
Card of Thanks – So many were kind, so many were helpful during the illness and following the departure of our beloved husband and father, the late George Bussell, that we fear we may not be able to personally speak or write to each one an expression of our gratitude. Lest any neighbor or friend to whom our thanks are justly due might not receive from our lips or pen due acknowledgment, we present this expression through the columns of our family newspaper, and for all the floral offerings we are sincerely grateful.
Mrs. Elvira Bussell, Mr. and Mrs. Darold Bussell, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Bussell, Stanton Bussell, Forrest Bussell. –
Frank Braddock of Hastings pays this tribute to the late Mr. Bussell in the following lines we received from him Tuesday morning with his request that we publish them in the Messenger. "I am much grieved over the loss of my brother-in-law George. He was a true companion, always striving to do the right and always did more than his share to make me happy and when I went to Wolbach to go hunting he always saw that my grip was well filled when I left to go home. One time after a hard days hunting trip he wasn't too tired to drive me 65 miles to my home in Hastings so my family could see how pretty the pheasants were as we brought them from the fields. He was a man that could do the right thing at the right time and now at his last resting place may, "Warm summer sun Shine kindly there, Warm southern wind Blow softly there, Green sod above lie light, lie light, Good night, dear George, Good night."
