As you will see his parents are not listed, but a brother John and two sisters survived him. I have assumed that Josiah and Elizabeth Busby were his parents. This is clearly an assumption on my part. There is no one living that can verify any of my theory. My Grandmother was Sion's youngest daughter Sallie DeBoard. Would love to find more about this family. Most of his children are buried in Arrol Cemetery in Missouri or in the Braman, Oklahoma Cemetery. I have been unable to find three of his children Carol, born 3/2/1902,Everett born 9/23/1891, Dortha ((Dorothy) born 10/11/1895 - the last time i can find her is in the 1910 MO Texas cty, pierce twsp, dist 108 at age 18. I have found nothing that indicates she married, or possibly died before the family moved to Oklahoma in about 1914. Please keep in touch Phyllis Parli SION BUSBY Sion Busby was born at Mountain View, Mo., November 13, 1860, and died May 18, 1937, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Sallie DeBoard east of Braman, at the age of 76 years, six months and five days. He spent his life around Mountain View, until 1916, when he moved with his family near Braman, where he has resided since. He was married to Almedia Sim-mons on May 14, 1885, and to this union was born 14 children, five of whom preceded their father in death, also his loving wife preceded him in death, passing away December 3, 1929. Everything that loving hands could do for his comfort was done but the all wise Heavenly Father had ordained it otherwise and at 9:30 o'clock Tuesday evening his spirit took its flight to God from whence it came. "Daddy," as he was called and better known by all his friends was always cheerful, and was loved by all who knew him. He has been a member of the Baptist church since his young manhood when he was converted, however some two years ago he rededicated his life to the Lord during a revival in the Church of God east of Braman. The last two weeks of his life was spent in prayer asking God to take him home to rest. He leaves to mourn his death, nine children, Mrs. Prank Potts of Mountain View, Mo.; Mrs. H. T. Taber, Summerville, Mo.; Mrs.Elmer Beller, Braman; Mrs.Clara Willbanks, Mrs. Sallie DeBoard, Jack, Leonard, Ed and Jim Busby all of Newkirk. One brother, John Busby of Elmo, Wash.; two sisters, 23 grandchildren, four great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.
