FUNERAL SERVICES HELD SATRUDAY FOR LOCAL HEART ATTACK VICTIM

Zacharia, Ky - Funeral services were conducted Satruday afternoon at 
the Pine Hill Baptist church for J.J. (Jake) Bush, 72, a retired Torrent, 
Ky. merchant, who was found dead Thursday afternoon in a cabin he owned 
near here in the Big Bend oil fields.  Burial was in the Bush Cemetery 
here.

Mr. Bush, who was widely known throughout this section, operated a 
general store, in partners with his brother, Edd Bush at Torrent for many 
years.  He was never married, and had been living with a sister, Mrs. 
Addie Spencer at Torrent.  A native of Wolfe county, he was a member of 
the Pine Hill Baptist Church and of the Torrent Masonic Lodge.

He owned a cabin in the oil fields and occasionally went there to spend 
a day or two.  He had gone out there Thursday morning with Willie 
Wireman, a foreman in the oil fields, as Mr. Wireman went to work.  Wireman 
said Mr. Bush told him that he was going squirrel hunting and then do 
some work around the cabin.

When Wireman returned about 4 p.m. he found Mr. Bush slumped on the 
floor, and it appeared that he had been dead only a short time.  Powell 
County Coroner Clayton Fryar was called, and following an inquest at the 
cabin, he returned a verdict of natural death.  He said there was no 
evidence of foul play.  It was decided by the six man coroner's jury that 
the victim suffered a heart attack.

The body was taken to the Hearne Funeral Home at Stanton and was 
returned to Edd Bush residence Friday afternoon where it remained  until time 
for funeral services.

Survivors include three sisters, Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. W.M. Adams, Leeco, 
and Mrs. Celia Holden, Dayton, Ohio, and two brothers, Edd Bush and 
John P. Bush, both of Zacharia, Ky.
