Pneumonia Claims Another Good Citizen

Mr. J.R. James Succumbs After an Illness of only a Few Days

Mr. James R. James, age 76 years, a confederate veteran, a good neighbor and 
useful citizen, died Wednesday morning at 12:30 o’clock the result of 
pneumonia, from which he was ill only since Saturday last.

Mr. James was born in Twiggs County, Georgia, November 24, 1841 and enlisted in 
Company 4, 61st Georgia regiment soon after the beginning of the Civil War, 
during which conflict he was four times badly wounded, notwithstanding which he 
continued to render valiant service to the Confederacy until the close of the 
war.

He moved here from Marion County four years ago and soon made hosts of strong 
friends.  He was a man of considerable intellect, quite, unassuming, at peace 
with all men, yet a fearless man and one that will be missed greatly from this 
community.  For several (word left out) Mr. James has not been very strong and 
the pneumonia which developed a few days ago did the work quickly although he 
had the very best medical attention and careful nursing of his family.

Mr. James reared a large family of children and leaves, besides a loving wife, 
six sons and two daughters.  His sons are: John F. James of Escondido, Cal., 
W.J. James, E.P., G., W.A. and Brooks James, all of this place.  Mrs. I.P. Wall 
and Mrs. C.S. Wall, both of Marion County are his daughters.

Funeral services over the remains of Mr. James were conducted at the family 
residence on the north side of the railroad by Rev. J.T. Adams, at 3:30 o’clock 
Wednesday afternoon.  Interment being at the Baptist cemetery.

The bereaved ones have the sincere sympathy of many good friends.
