On 23 July, 1851, Mrs. Bush wife of Presbyterian Missionary Stephen Bush died in Bangkok. The 1852 Annual Reports of the Board of Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America states:
“It is with much regret we have to report the removal by death of a highly esteemed member of this Mission, Mrs. Bush, wife of the Rev. S. Bush. She was called to her rest on the 23d of July, after an illness of a month and a half. Her last days were full of Christian joy and peace. ” In the full possession of all her faculties, without one cloud to separate between her and a present Saviour, she went down into the Jordan of death, singing Hallelujah, in the triumph of victory. She had lived the life of the righteous, and her last end was like his. The Siamese have lost in her a faithful, praying friend; the Mission, a kind and exemplary fellow laborer; and her bereaved husband, an affectionate and beloved companion.”
