George H. Buss, an old resident of Greenville township and a veteran of the civil war, died at his home in that township Sunday midnight of pneumonia, after a week’s illness, aged sixty years. He served in the Twelfth Kentucky Infantry. He was an Odd Fellow, and his funeral, Tuesday, was under the direction of Galena Lodge I. O. O. F.
He is survived by his wife and three children, the children being Mrs. Hugo Tafel, 224 East Oak street, Silver Grove suburb, this city; Mrs. Edward Madlung, Galena, and Otto Buss, residing at his father’s home.
On Saturday, December 23, Mr. Edward Madlung and Miss Edith Buss, a daughter of deceased, procured marriage license of Deputy County clerk, William F. Ruoff, and were to have been married on Christmas day. But the condition of the bride’s father became so serious on Sunday that he asked that the marriage be performed at once. The Rev. Lyman C. Murr, pastor of the M. E. church at Greenville, was immediately sent for, and by the bedside of the dying father he united in marriage the daughter, Miss Edith Buss, and Mr. Edward Madlung. The father pronounced his blessing upon the young couple and then grew weaker under his sufferings until death called him to rest and reward at midnight.
