        Obituary - Mrs. Will James

        Funeral services for Mrs. Will James were held todal at 12 o'clock at the home with Rev. W. Harley Smith in charge. A quartet composed of Mrs. J. G. Grimison, Mrs. Elmer Grundal, Dr. H. K. Benneson and Verner Alquist sang "Asleep in Jesus" and "Abide With Me."

        From the home the cortage proceeded to the Wesleyan chapel in Exeter township, where services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Childs. Rev. Wallace Carpenter preached the sermon. Interment took place in the cemetery at the Wesleyan chapel.

        Addie D. Cox, daughter of Joseph and Lizzie Cox, was born at Blue Grass, Vermillion Co., Ill., Oct. 14, 1869, and died at her home in Clay Center, Kan., Sunday, January 25, 1925, at the age of 55 years, 3 months and 11 days.

        Her marriage to Wm. R. James occurred on Nov. 24, 1887 and theirs has been a happy life together. In the 37 years of wedded life they have scarcely been separated for a week's time. To them were born nine children, one little daughter, Ruthie, having passed away ten years ago, the eight survive. They are: Chas. V. of Longford, Leroy of Holyoke, Colo., Floyd R. of Abilene, Mrs. Myrtle Craft of Drumright, Okla., Mrs. Lula Fouse of Longford, Mrs. Myra Down of Green Mrs. Mina Parsons of Fort Wayne, Ind., and Clara at home.

        These with two brothers and two sisters, her greatly beloved mother-in-law, Mrs. Richard James, seventeen grandchildren and many other relatives and friends mourn her departure from among them. The death of Mrs. James was a great shock to her family and the town at large. She was in apparent health and was stricken with apoplexy, dying in two hours from the stroke. Her family have lost a wonderful mother, her husband has sustained an irreparable loss in the passing of this loyal wife. Her children truly rise up and call her blessed.

        Converted at an early age, she was a christian of deep spirituality. She was a member of the Wesleyan Methodist church all her christian life. - Clay Center Dispatch-Republican of January 28th.
