Ionia Standard, 6 Dec 1895

James Charles Jennings died Sunday evening, at 7:15 o’clock, at his home on 
Lafayette street.  He retired at seven o’clock, apparently in his usual happy 
frame of mind, and a few minutes thereafter suffered a stroke of apoplexy, 
which carried him off.  The shock was severe, and came absolutely without 
warning, as he did not speak a word after retiring, though members of his 
family were near by.

He had spent an unusually pleasant afternoon, himself and wife being callers at 
the home of neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Wright, until five o’clock, and 
shortly after six he proposed to Mrs. Jennings to go to church.

Mr. Jennings was 56 years old in September, about 45 of which were spent in 
Ionia county.  He was prominent in G.A.R. circles, and was a familiar figure on 
our streets – jovial and friendly seemingly at all times.  His wife and three 
grown sons survive him.

The funeral was from the residence, under the auspices of Wm. H. Borden post, 
G.A.R., at two o’clock on Tuesday.  Rev. D.F. Barnes, D.D., conducted the 
religious services.

----

The funeral services over the late J.C. Jennings occurred at the residence 
Tuesday afternoon, and the commodious rooms were filled with neighbors and 
mourning friends.  Some seventy members of Wm. H. Borden post, of which 
organization deceased was a past commander, were present, and a large 
representation from the Woman’s Relief Corps.  Interment was in Highland Park.
