DEATH OF JAMES N. GOOD.

Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock Mr. James N. Good died very suddenly at
his home in LeMars. He had been in poor health for a long time, but had been
able to go around town and no serious results were expected by the family.
On the day of his death, he was around as usual in the morning. He ate
dinner and talked of going up town, but he was taken with a pain in his
shoulder and walked out in the door yard a few minutes. After going back
into the house, he sat down for a few minutes on the lounge and then walked
into his bedroom and expired.

The deceased was born in Scotland nearly seventy years ago. When young, he
moved to the Providence of Ontario, Canada, and lived there until about
fourteen years ago when he came to LeMars and bought a farm. He was a farmer
during the active years of his life and was an active worker until advancing
years compelled him to retire from hard work. He has lived in LeMars for
about three years. His wife and seven children, all grown, survive him. Two
of the children, a son and daughter, are at home, and the others are married
and live away from LeMars. All of the family were at home at the funeral
Thursday afternoon, which was conducted by Rev. A.Z. Macgogney, of the First
Presbyterian Church, of which the deceased was a regular attendant.
