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 He was a clergyman of the Episcopal church, but had lately withdrawn from that body, not recognizing the authority of bishops as laid down in the church code, and having some opinions which varied from the accepted American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.".
