Former Gonzalian Passes Away

A message was received in this city Sunday conveying the sad intelligence that Mrs. M. E. Bugbee, one of Gonzales old residents, had passed away on Saturday night, at the home of her daughter Mrs. C. E. Castleberry, at Little Rock, Arkansas.
Mrs. Bugbee had been in feeble health for several years and some two weeks ago she was reported seriously ill, but rallied and took a turn for the better, which, however, proved only temporary.
Mrs. Bugbee lived here for many years and the older citizens of Gonzales will hear of her death with deep regret.
The remains will arrive in Gonzales, Tuesday afternoon and be laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery beside those of here husband, Mr. G. G. Bugbee.
Mrs. Bugbee leaves two daughters to mourn her death.

At Rest

The remains of Mrs. M. E. Bugbee, who passed away at Little Rock, Arkansas, last Saturday, arrived in Gonzales over the S.A. & A.P. yesterday afternoon. They were accompanied to this city by her daughters, Mrs. C. E. Castleberry and Mrs. J. H. Martin of Little Rock. The procession moved from the station to the Masonic cemetery where interment was made in the family lot beside the grave of her husband Mr. G. G. Bugbee who preceded her a number of years ago. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Chas. H. Dobbs, pastor of the Presbyterian church of which decedent had been a member during her long residence in Gonzales .
Many lovely floral offerings literally covered her last resting place, their beauty eloquently expressing esteem in which deceased was held here in her old home, and their fragrance wafting a message of tender sympathy to the bereaved daughters left to mourn a mothers loss.
The active pallbearers were: Messrs. W. M. Fly, C. A. Burchard, Ed. Lewis, Fred Meisenhelder, August Kleine, Zillmon Boothe.
Honorary: Messrs. J. P. Randle, W. J. Bright, Ed Scheske, Henry Reese, Frank Woods, Sr., Asa Harmon.
Mrs. Bugbee was born and reared at Gallipolis, Ohio, and came to Texas shortly after the close of the civil war, making her home here in Gonzales until several years ago. Her husband, Mr. G. G. Bugbee was for many years the leading jeweler of the city, and after his death Mrs. Bugbee continued the business until she moved away. At the time of her death she was 63 years old.
The late Mrs. Knox, whose remains were brought back to her old home just one week ago, was, during her long residence in Gonzales, a warm friend of Mrs. Bugbee who was called to join her in Heavenly Home one week later. Thus two of Gonzales old and honored residents passed on t their reward almost together. Mrs. Bugbee, who was a niece of the late Mr. T. S. Walker, and many friends not only in this city but also in this part of the State. She leaves two daughters and one grand child, son of Mrs. Walter Bugbee, to whom The Inquirer extends deepest sympathy.
