Additional Comments:
William H. James 14 October 1879 1 February 1941.  It has
been brought to my attention by both Echo Burrell and Myrtis
Halstead Akins that although correctly transcribed from the
paper, this obituary has several errors. The following note
from Myrtis Akins probably best sums up the errors.  "The
obituary dated February 7, 1941, was interesting as this was
my maternal grandfather. There are some surprising errors,
particularly the he had married Bernice Wall. Actually, his
only wife (my grandmother)was Leola Bray. Also it stated he
had 2 grandsons, but he also had several granddaughters by
that time (Me, included!)"  Myrtis Halstead Akins

Additionally, Ernie Jones (http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00032.html#0007882) brought to my
attention the following error within this obituary.  "the
Mrs. Lewis James listed in this obit is Mrs. Lewis (Vernice
James) Jones."
