Bushey, Abraham Sr. -- DIED -- On Wednesday morning, October 19th., 1870, at the residence of his son A.J. Bushey in Shelby, Mr. ABRAHAM BUSHEY, Sr., aged 79 years, 1 month and 28 days. Mr. Bushey was born near Carlisle, Pa., and removed to Jackson Township, near Shelby, many years ago. He at one time served as Justice of the Peace in that township. He was very reserved, especially so of late years, scarcely ever conversing with any but his chosen counselors in regard to his business affairs. Having secured a competency, he removed to Shelby, and let out his means. He scarcely ever forced collections, and permitted his money to become scattered, which gave rise to fabulous reports of his wealth, most of which were untrue. He died as he had lived, saying but very little to any of his friends; patiently bearing his sufferings, and wishing to depart. He did not even dispose of his property, remarking to a friend whom he had called to counsel, that "the law made a very good will". Thus has passed away another of our old citizens. One by one they drop from our sight. Funeral services were held at the Lutheran Church, on Thursday afternoon, and his remains taken to the Cemetery at Sheriff's Church for interment.
