Jackson Sentinel, June 15, 1920 

James H. Said was born in the state of Wisconsin, Dec. 4th, 1835. He came with 
his parents to Iowa in about the year of 1840, where he spent the remaining 
years of his life excepting the service he rendered his country during the 
Civil War. He served 4 years and 7 months during the war. He was a soldier of 
the 2nd Iowa Cavalry one of the very few remaining of his company. He was an 
efficient and faithful soldier ever ready to do his duty, a man who took pride 
in serving his country well. He was a kind man in bestowing help and 
assistance to his fellow man in the time of need. James H. Said was married to 
Irene Pulford of Jackson county, Iowa, in 1867. To this union were born seven, 
children. Three of these died in infancy. Four daughters survive to mourn the 
loss of a departed father, namely, Mrs. Lizzie Point of Marion, Iowa, Mrs. 
Louvina Faith of Minneapolis, Minn., Mrs. Catherine Courrier, of Atascadaro 
Cal., and Mrs. Maggie Stowers, of Chicago, I11inois. The two latter daughters 
were able to be present at the funeral. Mr. Said also leaves two sisters, Mrs. 
Mary J. Cook of Iron Hill, Iowa, and Mrs, Mortimer Boht, of Ekalaka, Mont. 
Also many relatives and friends. He was a member of the G. A. R. and very 
punctual in the discharge of his duties of the order. During his later years 
he has made his home with his eldest daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Point now living in 
Marion, Iowa, where he died. She was a dutiful daughter, faithful to the last. 
She has the consolation and peace of mind of knowing that she did the best she 
could. A very competent reward. The funeral was held at the Adventist church 
at Iron Hills, June 12,1920, Rev. W. J. Trimble officiating. Interment at the 
cemetery near the church. Awaiting the resurrection when there shall be no 
man.
