BUSHART. - On the 4th of October, near Swedeburg, Henry Co., Iowa, of consumption, Daniel Bushart (age not given). He was buried on the 6th in the Amish graveyard. His remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends and relatives, who mourn the loss of a highly esteemed friend and brother. Bro. Bushart united with the Amish church about 16 years ago. He was married to Catharine Bender on the 21st of September 1879. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn their loss, but not as those who have no hope. He suffered much the last week. Three hours before he died he called the writer (Bro. S. T. Miller), to his side and said, "I have fought a good fight." Funeral services by Stephen T. Miller and S. Gerig from 2 Tim. 4:7, 8.
