DeBUSSEY T.W. DeBussey died Sunday afternoon at the Cottage hospital, where he underwent an operation in the morning for the removal of a carbuncle from his neck. Mr. DeBussey had been suffering for some time with this trouble and although his condition was considered serious it was not thought to be critical. He rallied from the operation apparently in a strong condition and his death later was entirely unexpected. The deceased was well known and highly esteemed here, had successfully conducted a restaurant business for several years. He was born at Ravenswood, of West Virginia, November 13, 1867. When 17 years old he moved to Illinois. Later he went to Pasadena, Cal., where he bought property and lived for 15 years. Five years ago he traded his California property for orchard land at Mosier, and four years ago came to Hood River where he engaged in the restaurant business. Mr. DeBussey is survived by his wife and one child who reside here. His other relatives are in the east. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Bartmess chapel with services conducted by Rev. W.C. Gilmore. Thursday the body will be shipped to the Portland crematorium for incineration. This was posted for reference only. I am not related to, nor am I researching this family.
