ABRAM BUHER
Abram Buher, grandfather of Mrs. Thomas Brinkworth, died Tuesday night at 9 o'clock,
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lorene B. Faucett, Lincoln Avenue, after a lingering
illness. For several days his condition had been exceedingly grave and death was not
unexpected. He died of dysentery.
He was born in Daviess County in 1837, and enlisted for duty as a soldier during the Civil
War. He was taken ill, however, before the Company left Terre Haute and, owing to
continued ill health, was discharged and returned home. He was a member of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and the local post will have charge of the funeral services.
His wife died about seven years ago, and for a long time he had been making his home with
his daughter, Mrs. Faucett. One son Malcombe Buher, resides on North O Street, and a
daughter, Mrs. William Carmichael, also resides in this city.
Funeral services were conducted at Springville, Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock.
Burial was at Springville in the Christian Cemetery."
