Buss, Richard (6 APR 1800 - 11 MAR 1883)

Died, in the town of Grant, Clark County, Wis., at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Selves, on Sunday morning, March 11, 1883, Mr. Richard Buss, aged 82 years, 11 months and 5 days.

Mr. Buss was born in England, and came to this country about thirty years ago, and to Clark County sixteen years ago. He was the father of a large family of children most of these settled with him in the town of Grant, and one, Mrs. Charlotte Shummel, died about eight years ago. Mr. Buss retained his vigor almost to the last, and finally died without a struggle. Many friends and neighbors sympathize with the children and grandchildren in their great loss. His funeral was largely attended from the church on Pleasant Ridge, Rev. W. T. Hendren officiating.
