From the Pipestone County Star, May 15th 1917

Died in Local Hospital.  Burial at Holland on Sunday.

Fred Bussey, an old and well known resident of Pipestone county, passed 

away last Friday morning at a local hospital.  He has been ill for 

some time.  The remains were taken from here to the home at Holland, 

and funeral services were held at the church at that place on Sunday 

afternoon, followed by internment in the Holland cemetery.  A number of 

people from Pipestone went to Holland to attend the funeral.  

     The late Mr. Bussey is survived by his wife and three children, 

a son, Fred Bussey, Jr., of Hibbing Minn., and two daughters, Mrs. 

Nettie Smith, who resides in North Dakota and Mrs. Cecil Severson of

    The deceased was born in Chicago in 1857.  His parents moved to 

Milwaukee when he was four years of age and after residing there a 

year they moved to Winona, Minn., where the late Mr. Bussey received 

his education.  In 1871 he removed to Buffalo county, Wis., and he 

farmed in that state for five years after which he traveled 

extensively over the northwest  in search of a permanent location 

and his section was the northwest quarter of Sec. 8 in Fountain 

Prairie township, Pipestone County, where he engaged in farming and 

stock raising in May 1879.  He has resided in this county 

continuously since that time.
