The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, August 18, 1938
James Douglas, 86, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Judson Banning Wednesday 
afternoon, August 17, at 1:30 o’clock following an illness of only a few days 
from a stroke of paralysis which he suffered at his home before being removed 
to the Banning home in Muir.

Mr. Douglas was born in 1852 at Richfield Springs, New York, the son of 
William and Eliza Monks Douglas.  He came to Michigan in 1879, returning to 
New York in 1896.  In 1913 he came back to Michigan and later purchased the 
building known as the late Chauncey Ruinsey office which he converted into the 
home in which he lived until recently.  During these years he was a familiar 
figure to Muir residents, maintaining excellent health and an interest in 
public affairs until his death.

During the year of 1876 he was married to Roxie Flint who died in 1890.  Two 
children were born to them, a son, who died in 1890 and a daughter, who died 
in 1891.

Survivors are a brother, Frank Douglas of New York; a sister-in-law, Mrs. 
Margaret Douglas, a niece and six nephews.

Funeral services will be conducted from the Banning home Friday afternoon, 
August 19, at 2 o’clock.  Interment will be in the Muir cemetery.
