MRS. TOM JAMES LAID AT REST IN CLARE CEMETERY
Early Resident of Community Passes at Hospital Here May 30

Minnie James, the daughter of Joseph and Matilda Robinett, was born on May 
24th, 1874, near Edon, Williams County, Ohio, and passed to that dreamless 
sleep on May 30th, at the Clare Hospital, at the age of seventy-six years and 
seven days.  She had been in poor health for some time and Sunday she became 
worse, and was taken to the hospital, remaining unconscious most of the time.

The deceased was married to George Walters on July 23rd, 1892, in Ohio, and to 
this union were born two sons, Von and Arden.

In October 1901, they immigrated to Michigan in a covered wagon and purchased 
80 acres of land close to the Brand farm.  Here they established a home, 
clearing the land and building a house, and she endured the trials and 
hardships of pioneer life with great fortitude.

After the death of her husband in 1940, she moved to Clare and lived there for 
some time.

June 31st, 1942, she was united in marriage to Tom James and resided on the 
James farm in Clare County until her death.

She leaves to mourn their loss, her husband, her son, Von and wife, of Elm 
Grove, and her son Arden and wife, of Clare; three brothers, Menzo of 
Ypsilanti, Villo of Hamilton, Ind., and Coe of Clare; seven grandchildren; 
seven great grandchildren; and a host of nephews and nieces, who will greatly 
miss her.  Her last sister remaining, Mrs. Barber, was laid at rest last 
Monday.

Minnie was a wonderful mother and companion, a good neighbor, and was loved by 
all who knew her.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. R. Honerich at the Thurston Funeral 
Home Friday afternoon and she was laid beside her former husband in Cherry 
Grove Cemetery.
