Newport Hoosier State
Wednesday, August 13, 1890
John S. Bush was formerly one of the most industrious and hard working citizens of this county. About 4 years ago he lost his eyesight, which no doubt was due to overwork. It was the general impression that he worked himself blind. A few weeks ago he took down with typhoid fever, which terminated his life here below at 25 minutes before 2 o'clock on last Saturday morning, August 9, 1890. The deceased was born in Washington County, this state, on February 14, 1828, and came to this county with his parents when only 10 years old, where he had continued to reside ever since. He felt perfectly resigned to his fate, and said he was ready to die. He never united with any church, but always claimed to be a Baptist in belief. His funeral took place on last Sunday afternoon, short services being held at his late residence by Rev. F.W. Gee, pastor of the M.E. Church, after which his remains were followed to the Thomas Cemetery by a procession of relatives and friends nearly a mile long.
