Mr. James Wileman Sr. was born Aug. 12th, 1826 at Measham,
Derbyshire, England. He left his native land and came to the
United States in 1844, coming straight to Albion Prairie
making this his home, and here he resided from that time to
the day of his death, which took place on Jan 28th, 1896. He
was 69 years, 5 months and 16 days old. He was one of the
oldest settlers of the neighborhood, having lived here
continuously for over fifty-one years. He was married to Miss
Esther Marsden, Aug. 15th, 1847, by the Rev. James Alderson.
There were born to them twelve children, six of whom preceeded
him to that mysterious bourne whence no traveler returns, The
other six are all living around here, except Mrs. Wm. Abbott
who lives in South Dakota. They, with his life long companion
are left to mourn  their loss, which is irrepairable. He was a
life long christian, a member of the Primitive Methodist
church, and a local minister for over fifty-two years. In
early day he did much pioneer work to preach and spread the
gospel, hence he was well and favorably known by a large
circle of friends. His funeral was held Jan 30, and was one of
the largest ever seen in this neighborhood. Rev. M.C. Baker,
his pastor officiated.
