DEATH OF C. W. BUSH, ESQ. – On Tuesday last C. W. Bush, Esq., breathed his last. He was sick but a few days, and no one supposed that death was so near, until on Friday of last week, when a change seems to have taken place for the worse. Mr. Bush was born in this city, and was a slave of Judge Cook’s before the war. He was highly esteemed and respected by all our citizens, both white and colored. During the years 1869, ’70 and ’71, he was engaged in the livery business, and was doing exceedingly well. At the Convention of Republicans in 1871, he was nominated for the Legislature and was elected by a large majority. He served his county faithfully, but withdrew at the expiration of his term, notwithstanding his chances to be returned were very favorable. In 1874 he was appointed as one of the Commissioners of Immigration, and performed such duties as were required of him in an acceptable manner. During the full term of his office he was faithful and strictly honest. No one ever charged “Charlie” Bush with a dishonest act. What few faults he had were more of an injury to himself than to any one else, as he utterly scorned treachery in friendship. He was as loyal to his friends as the most exacting could desire. But poor Bush is gone! Many will be the persons who will miss his familiar face on our streets, and at one fireside. He leaves a bright little boy of eight years of age. May his soul rest in peace, and may the sod lie lightly over his corpse. Farewell, friend Bush. [Vicksburg Plaindealer, April 9.
