Death of Mrs. Reuben Bussey

Mrs. Martha R. Bussey was born in Upson Co. March 15th, 1844 died as she had 
lived calmly, peacefully at her home near Talbotton May 10, 1910.

Mrs. Bussey had been practically an invalid for a number of years but the call 
came quite suddenly she grew unexpectedly worse in three or four days before 
her spirit winged its way to that Home of the Soul.  All that a devoted family 
could do was willingly, cheerfully done but God had called and she had 
listened.  The loyal unselfish wife and Martha has left an aching void in your 
hearts, another vacant chair at your fireside but burdened heart, be brave to 
bear thy cross while the crown is there.

Thy hand within the Fathers lay until he wipes all tears away.  She was a 
noble housekeeper and the fact that she was of late years physically debarred 
from taking part in any active work, a severe trial to a woman of her 
energetic temperment, yet she never complained that her cross was too hard, 
was ever cheerful and ready to aid with her good counsel, yes wise and good 
coming from a heart mellowed by years of experience and full of charity for 
frail humanity.  She was one truthful of women and there is nothing more 
kingly than kindness, more royal than truth.

Mrs. Bussey was a resident of Talbot for more than fifty years having moved 
her with her parents Nathaniel and Mary Collier when a young girl of seventeen.

She was married to Reuben Bussey Dec. 17, 1867 who with three daughters, three 
sons and a host of relatives and friends are left to mourn her death.  In a 
casket laden with the flowers she loved so well attended by a large concourse 
of relatives and friends she was laid to rest at Sardis cemetery.  Rev. Heath 
of Woodland conducted the funeral services.

To the bereaved family we extend our heartfelt sympathy and earnestly 
reverently point you to him who can comfort you even in this your Gethesmane. 
Then how sweet it would be in that beautiful land so true and free from sorrow 
and pain with song on our lips and with harps in our hands.  To meet one 
another again.
