JULIA A. JAMES, widow of C.H. JAMES, deceased, was born in Muskingum County,
Ohio, June 7, 1822 and died April 27, 1909, aged 86 years, 10 months and 20
days. She was the daughter of ANTHONY and SARAH MAUK, natives of Virginia.

She was married in Ohio, Jan. 1, 1840, to CURTIS HOOPES JAMES. To this
union were born ten children, six of whom have preceded her, and those left
to mourn the loss of a loving mother are; W.M. of Creston; ANTHONY M. and
ETTA RAMSEY of Lucas County; and M.D. of Aurora, Neb.

About 55 years ago she was converted and joined the M.E. Church. Since then
she has lived an earnest, consistent Christian life and has been loved and
cherished by all who knew her. Her life was a benediction to her friends
and neighbors. In her home life and in her ministrations to those in need
how faithful she was. Her hands were never idle. She was a woman of
remarkable strength and vigor for one of advanced age. Her last sickness
was of short duration. She remained conscious almost to the last moment,
and gave good assurance that for her death had no terror. Her end was peace

Funeral was held from her late residence conducted by Dr. Lathrop, her
Pastor. The funeral address was delivered by Dr. B.F. Miller, of Indianola,
a special friend of the family. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
