Last Friday the summons came for our old friend and towns lady Mrs.James

A woman known by many in Lake Odessa and vicinity always carefully looking after 
her household and always responding to calls for help, she lived a rather 
reserved life in  her beautiful home on Jordan Lake Street.

She was looked after by her daughter Mrs. Ardella Peer, who after a residence in 
the west for several years returned for that purpose. She leaves beside the 
daughter, a son James D.Musgrove of Sutherlin, Oregon.

The funeral was held at the residence Wednesday and was largely attended by 
relatives and friends. Rev. J. W.Prestige a former pastor was called from Dundee 
to preach the sermon. Rev.L.L. Steadman the present pastor assisted in the 
service. The singing was by Mrs.Harley Owen, Mrs.A.J. Dann, George Kart and Leon

Rapids, George Wise of Detroit, a cousin Mr and Mrs N.E.Hubble and Commissioner 
H H. Lowrey of Saranac.
