Special to The News.
TYLER, Texas, Sept. 15. -- James W. Bussey, 62, district insurance agent for this section, died while sitting in his automobile, six miles north of Tyler, on the Dixie highway. Seized with a heart attack he had stopped his car, but was unable to move from the steering wheel. Passing friends noticed his peculiar predicament, stopped to ask if he was sick, and when Bussey had spoken but a few words he fell over dead.
Bussey had resided in Gilmer and Longview most of his life, coming over here two years ago. He was prominent in insurance circles, maintaining an office here and in other towns in this section.
Funeral services will be held at Gilmer from the First Baptist Church, conducted by the Rev. J. C. Vanderver. Besides his wife he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Donnie Horton and Miss Lila Mae Bussey, both of Tyler, and one sister, Mrs. Eliza Bonham of Memphis, Tenn.
