From the New York Times.
September 24, 1913 - "PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 23, - A story which for novel features has few parallels, is told by the crew of the schooner yacht Lydia, scuttled about ten miles off this port late in August, with the cremated body of her owner, James Freeman Bush, a wealthy paper manufacturer, resting on a table in the cabin. The sending of the handsome craft to her final anchorage with the ashes of Mr. Bush aboard was the result of a dying request made by him to his wife in a hospital here, where he had been operated on, and where he died Aug. 24.
According to the story told by members of the crew and not denied by Mrs. Bush, the Lydia, aboard which Mr. Bush had spent a great deal of time in late years, left Portland late in August with all sail set and towing a motor boat. Mrs. Bush was aboard. So were two close friends of Mr. Bush.
On a table in the cabin lay the ashes of the owner. Capt. Frank M. Skolfield, of Cundy's Harbor, who had sailed the Vessel for Mr. Bush, was at the wheel. About ten miles off the port the vessel was headed into the wind, the persons aboard were placed in the motor boat, and with an axe a hole was cut in the craft. Slowly she filled and sank to her grave.

From the Springfield Republican, Springfield, MA.
December 30, 1883 - "Rev. James S. Bush, who died on Monday after a short illness, at Ithaca, N.Y. (whither he had recently gone from Concord, Mass.) was a man of culture and religious liberality, well known in New York, New Jersey and California, where he had the change of parishes, as in New England where he spent the later years of his active life. He was a clergyman of the Episcopal church, but had lately withdrawn from that body, not recognizing the authority of bishops as laid down in the church code, and having some opinions which varied from the accepted American standard, though perhaps not inconsistent with the doctrine and practice of the church of England. He preached acceptably - of late in Unitarian pulpits - and his published sermons are marked by a spirit truly Christian. He had removed to Ithaca to educate his younger children at Cornell university; his family consisting of three sons and a daughter, and his wife being a member of the Fay family of Cambridge and Boston and a descendant of Rev. Peter Bulkeley, the first minister of Concord.".
