Died Suddenly.

George W. Bussard, the butcher, died suddenly from heart trouble Monday night. Mr. Bussard had not been sleeping well and he got some medicine Monday evening to make him sleep and his wife thinks he took too much of the medicine and it affected his head. About eleven o'clock he got out of bed and awakened his brother-in-law, Manas Reitz, and asked him to go along to buy cattle, and then went to the barn to get the team ready. When Mr. Reitz got to the barn, Mr. Bussard was harnessing a horse and stooped down to buckle the belly-band and dropped over dead.

George Bussard was born in Ringgold township, February 17th, 1861, making him over 37 years old. His parents are both dead. July 3rd, 1882, he was married to Mary Ellen Reitz, of Beaver township. He moved to Reynoldsville five years ago last April and opened a meat market. He is survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter.

The body will be taken from the house on Jackson street at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow to Emerickville where services will be held in the Church of God, conducted by Dr. C. C. Rumberger, pastor of the Reynoldsville M.E. church.
