WELLHAUSEN, JAMES F.

JAMES F. WELLHAUSEN IS CLAIMED BY DEATH AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Last Rites Tuesday Evening Held at Residence, with Interment at Amite Cemetery
Death claimed James F. Wellhausen at 2:30 p.m. Monday.  An illness that had kept 
him confined to his home for more than six years had become increasingly critical 
during the past few weeks.  Everything was done for his comfort that loving hands 
and tender devotion could do. Last rites at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Eloise 
Craig with whom he had made his home for many years, were conducted at six 
o'clock Tuesday evening.  The Rev. Sam R. Gordon, Baptist minister, was assisted in 
the service by the Rev. A.K. Ramsey, pastor of the Church of Christ.  A favorite hymn 
was sung by Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. S. M. Kilpatrick.  Pallbearers were Frank M. 
Edwards, J.H. Pipes, S.M. Kilpatrick, R.F. Lester, D.D. Morgan and E.J. Letard.  
Interment was in the Amite cemetery. Mr. Wellhausen had lived in Amite since early 
childhood.  He was born in Belton, Texas, on October 27, 1880, coming here with 
his parents and few years later. For many years he operated a blacksmith and 
machinist shop here, and later moved to a farm east of town.  Failing health caused 
his retirement. He is survived by one brother, Robert Wellhausen of Hardin City, 
Okla., two sisters, Mrs. Eloise Craig and Mrs. Arthur Bender and two nephews, James 
and Joseph Craig, all of Amite, as well as a wide circle of friends throughout this 
section.
