Mrs. Rush Dies After Three Months Illness
Mrs. Elizabeth Ireland Rush, wife of Dr. W.M. Rush of Fern Creek, passed away after 
three months' illness on Wednesday morning t 7 o'clock.

The funeral was from the home this (Thursday) afternoon at 2:30, conducted by her 
pastor Rev. W. A. Ramsey of Beulah Presbyterian church, and burial was in Penn Run 
Cemetery.

Mrs. Rush was childless and the survivors besides the husband are three sisters, Mrs. 
M.M. Thorne and Miss Marguerite Ireland of Louisville, and Mrs. J.B. Huff of Mars ... 
North Carolina; three brothers Charles Ireland fo Texas, Dr. R.  ...sey Ireland of 
Louisville and William Ireland of Okolona.  In addition to these are many slightly 
more distant relatives and bereaved friends numbering all who had ever known her over 
this county, Louisville and other states as well.

A cultured capable woman of unusual executive ability, Mrs. Rush was born a leader and 
her loss will long be felt, particularly in her church where as a member, frequently 
an officer, and sometimes, a teacher in the Ladies Circles her presence seemed almost 
indispensable.

She was a granddaughter of the late Rev. Downey Blair on the maternal side and 
numbered among the relatives in this connection several ministers, a doctor and a 
lawyer; on the paternal side, the grandfather and father were both physicians while 
the brother, Dr. R. L. Ireland is one of Louisville's leading surgeons.
