Died in Local Hospital. Burial at Holland on Sunday.
Fred Bussey, an old and well known resident of Pipestone county, passed
away last Friday morning at a local hospital. He has been ill for
some time. The remains were taken from here to the home at Holland,
and funeral services were held at the church at that place on Sunday
afternoon, followed by internment in the Holland cemetery. A number of
people from Pipestone went to Holland to attend the funeral.
The late Mr. Bussey is survived by his wife and three children,
a son, Fred Bussey, Jr., of Hibbing Minn., and two daughters, Mrs.
Nettie Smith, who resides in North Dakota and Mrs. Cecil Severson of

The deceased was born in Chicago in 1857. His parents moved to
Milwaukee when he was four years of age and after residing there a
year they moved to Winona, Minn., where the late Mr. Bussey received
his education. In 1871 he removed to Buffalo county, Wis., and he
farmed in that state for five years after which he traveled
extensively over the northwest in search of a permanent location
and his section was the northwest quarter of Sec. 8 in Fountain
Prairie township, Pipestone County, where he engaged in farming and
stock raising in May 1879. He has resided in this county
continuously since that time.
