Rome Sentinel March 7, 1899
At his home on Summit Street in Boonville, Saturday, occurred the death of 
James H. Capron, one of the prominent and most highly respected citizens of 
that place. Mr. Capron was born on the old homestead in Ava, July, 1827. He had 
always been a resident of Ava and Boonville except in the years 1867 and 1868 
when he was in Minnesota. In 1852 he married Louisa Cagwin of Verona, who died 
five years later, leaving one son, Henry, who died about ten years ago. In 1864 
he married Hattie A. Brinckerhoff, who survives him, together with two sons, 
Benjamin A. and Ambrose C., both residents of Boonville. Besides his immediate 
family Mr. Capron is survived by four brothers and one sister: Charles and 
Smith of Boonville, Merritt of Leyden, Albert of Constableville and Mrs. Wayne 
Collins of Malone. Mr. Capron was always a hard working man, being a large 
owner of farm lands, besides being identified with many other projects for his 
material advancement. By his frugality and industry he had accumulated 
considerable property and during the later years of his life he had ceased to 
labor so steadily and was enjoying the fruits of his earlier years. Mr. Capron 
for many years had been a constant member of the Methodist church. In politics 
he was a Republican. He represented Ava in the board of supervisors and had 
been president and trustee of the village of Boonville and for years a member 
of the high school board. Mrs. Capron is quite ill from an attack of the grip, 
not being able to be about, and much solicitude is felt as to the effect the 
shock of her husband's death will have upon her.
