[JAMES MICHAEL DEVINE]
J. M. Devine of the southern part of the county died on Wednesday of last week. He sustained a paralytic stroke a few years ago, and though he rallied and was around though somewhat crippled, he never recovered fully from it. A few days before his death, he was obliged to take to his bed. He leaves his wife and nine children, the youngest of whom is about five years of age. He was a son of the late John Devine of Livermore and a nephew of Barney Devine. He was a man of strong personality and prominence in his neighborhood.
