James Elder, son of Robert and Lovina Elder, passed away at Regional Health Services on April 25, 2018.

James was born November 19, 1939 in Howard County, Bonair community. James spent his early years attending the local country school but was unable to learn academic subjects due to a congenital brain birth defect. He could converse and was physically capable until mid life. When his parents sold the family farm and moved to Lime Springs in the 1960's, James went to live at the Howard Residential Care Facility where he remained until failing health resulted in moving to the Evans Memorial Home where he spent the rest of his life. Jim enjoyed music and had a good memory for faces during his earlier years. His few joys in life involved food and his fondness for Copenhagen.

He is survived by his sister, Lois Amundson of Ridgeway, sister in law Vivian Elder of rural Ridgeway, and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by parents, four brothers and two sisters.

Graveside services will follow visitation time at Philliips{sic} Cemetery in Bonair, Iowa.
