The Rev. Chas. E. Jackson visited Bush at his home last Friday afternoon and talked over the plans for his funeral on Sunday. Rev. Jackson was well-impressed with the sincere intent and purpose Bush had in conducting the unusual exercises. Bush explained to Rev. Jackson that he was 74 years old and that he was now past the alloted age of three score and ten and was living on borrowed time. Asked why he had lived so long he replied:
"I lay my health all to eating cornbread, fat meat, buttermilk and butter and running ridges at night when hounds are on a fox chase and laying out on ridges and getting fresh air. Now pappy lived to be 98 past."
