RUSH.- Dudley A. Rush died of consumption at his home six miles southwest of 
Waverly on February 17, 1890.

Mr. Rush was born Aug. 30, 1863, in Ellshart county, Ind., and removed with 
his parents, Mr. And Mrs. A. C. Rush, to Iowa in the spring of 1865.  Less 
than a year ago, (Feb. 27, 1889), he was happily married to Miss. Jessie Wells, 
to whom great sympathy is extended in her bereavement.  Nearly two years ago 
Mr. Rush suffered an attack of measles which impaired his lungs and prepared 
the way for the dread disease that has been settling itself upon him in the 
last months.  At the last he was glad to go, and longed for death to come and 
end his sufferings and with trust in God for the future.  A crowded house of 
sympathizing friends and relatives gathered for the funeral service last 
Wednesday the 19th  inst.,[sic] among them members of his company serving 
as pall bearers.  The service was conducted by Rev. G. E. White.
