Read More	Death Summons Frederick Bush Passed Away at His Home Sunday Evening at 6:45 The community is mourning the passing of Frederick Bush, one of our pioneer citizens and former businessman of Creighton. Death came to him on last Sunday evening at his home at 6:45. Mr. Bush had been in ill health for a long period and suffered a stroke of paralysis, which hastened his death. Funeral services were held from the home on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Benj. Kuhler, pastor of the Methodist church. A large crowd of friends gathered to pay their final tribute to the deceased. Many beautiful floral pieces wee in evidence. The remains were interred in the Greenwood cemetery. Out of town relatives in attendance at the last rites were Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Hengstler of Norfolk, John and Henry Bauman of West Point and Mr. and Mrs. Herman Scheer of Cedar Bluffs. To the bereaved wife and daughter, we extend our most profound sympathy. The Rev. Benj. Kuhler, in a resume of Mr. Bush's life, at the funeral services, paid the following high tribute to the deceased, which is very complete and leaves nothing to be added. Frederick Bush, the last survivor of a family of six children, was born at Horn, Province of Leppedetmold, Germany, March 22, 1848 and passed from his earthly career July 6, 1930 at his home in Creighton, Nebraska at the age of 82 years, 3 months and 15 days. When four years of age he came with his parents to America, living in Rock Grove, Ill, Ackley, Iowa and Clermont, Mo. till 1883, when he came to Creighton with his brother, Charles. They first engaged in the livestock business, then purchased an elevator and thru their fair dealing and genial dispositions did a prosperous business till 1911, when they retired, the brother, Charles, dying a few months after they sold out. Mr. Bush was married May 16, 1892 to Lena Hengstler. This union was blessed with one daughter, Mrs. Lela M. Odineal of Plainview, Nebr., to whom the father showed most devoted affection till his last conscious hour. Other nearest relatives are Carl Bush of Creighton, nephew and two nieces, Mrs. Otis Ondler of Rochester, Minn. and Mrs. Rudolph Neidle of Clermont, Mo. Mr. Bush had been in ill health for a number of years, the last two, failing quite rapidly, till all that medical skill and tender care of a faithful wife and daughter could avail no longer. Frederick Bush belonged to that type of citizen, who laid well the foundation of our country. He shared in some of the strenuous periods of Knox County's development. He also served four years on the city council, discharging his duties with conscientious scruples about the welfare of the community. He was known as a true friend to man, generous at times to a fault. He was instrumental in winning many times in the cause for righteousness, sparing neither time nor money. Yet his genial and kindly manner with his sense of humor aided in maintaining the confidence even of those whom he opposed. He used no bombast to call attention to his doing but with quietness, yet, persistence he pressed on the upward way, which makes his life loom even larger in death, than when alive. Jealous for the solidity of his own character, he was also eager for the support of all safeguards for society. The background of this life was Christian culture. His early religious training was in the Lutheran church. After his marriage, he with his wife united with the Methodist church in Creighton and was more than a mere passive member. We have heard him express his delight and speak with pride to his companion that he always attended church with her as long as his feet could carry him there. He often spoke of his nearing Heaven and the last five Sundays said to his wife, "I'm soon going home. The sooner the better." And thus living, he lived well, laughed often. His last conscious moment was a playful remark with his characteristic happy twinkle of the eye to his daughter. He labored faithfully and honorably, loved much and with one hand reaching toward heaven's welcome, the other as the hand of a faithful husband, devoted father, true friend, he waves the farewell, "let there be no mourning, when I put out to sea."
