Penfield Press, 8 Mar 1901
In Memory of.
James Joyce was born at Wysox Bradford Co., Pa., March 4, 1832, and died at 
Penfield, Pa., Feb. 13, 1901, aged 69 years, 11 months and 9 days.

He was married to Margaret Jane Huff in the year 1853.  Six children were 
born Amby, James and Amy, died with black diptheria and buried in one grave, 
Ada Ellen Chaffee of Warren, Pa., Wm. L. Joyce of Penfield, Pa., Josephine 
Scheif of Brooklyn, N.Y.

Three years ago the wife died.  The Father lived with the children.  A few 
months ago he came to live with W.L. and pursue business in Penfield.  Taken 
ill one morning, physicians were summoned, but he grew worse and passed away 
in the evening.

The remains were taken to Warren Centre, Pa., for interment beside the life 
companion's dust.  The sermon was preached by Rev. N.F. Shirey of the 
Baptist church, to which the departed belonged for 40 years.  The text was 
from 1st Chron. Chapter 15, verse 26.  Six old friends, who had borne the 
wife to the grave, Asa Chaffee, Edward Chaffee, David Sleeper, Geo. Sleeper, 
Nathan Bowen and David Folk carried the temple of clay to the couch of last 
repose.  The now completely orphaned children departed from the city of the 
dead until the Great Assembly when the final trump shall sound.
