with Multiple Sclerosis.

OBITUARY: E. James Ham, Mitchell County, Iowa
E. James Ham [1873-1925]
SUPERVISOR HAM DIED AS RESULT OF RIFLE BULLET
ACCIDENT OCCURED SUNDAY WHILE HE AND SONS WERE ON WAY TO FARM
PASSES AWAY TUESDAY NIGHT
WAS NATIVE OF ENGLAND
CAME TO OSAGE FROM THAT COUNTRY WHEN EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD
FUNERAL SERVICES AT HOME TOMORROW AFTER NOON- WIDOW AND FOUR SONS SURVIVE.
Supervisor E. James Ham of this city was the victim of a fatal accident last
Sunday afternoon, resulting in his death on Tuesday evening. He and his
three sons, Birchard, Mason and Wesley, decided to drive out to his farm near
Brownville after dinner and were on their way when the accident occurred.
They drove north of the M. J. Loftus corner, just west of New Haven, and were
perhaps three of four miles north of that place when the car struck a bump.
The rifle, a 22 caliber with a special bullet therein, was across Mr. Ham's
lap, though on safety, and the trigger must have caught on something as the
gun was discharged, the bullet entering his abdomen just a little to the
left, penetrating his bowels four times, traveling in an upward direction
and coming out the right side. His son Mason was driving the car and they
drove back home as soon as possible. Dr. Glenn Sheldon of Kansas City,
who had been called here for other operations, was secured as soon as
possible and operated on Mr. Ham.
He got through Sunday night in apparently excellent shape, but the following
night took a decided turn for the worse and during the day Tuesday, it was
apparent he was making a losing fight for life, death coming between 11 and
12 o'clock that night.
Ernest James Ham was born Feb. 16, 1873, at Chedder, Somersetshire, England,
and received his education in that country. When 18 years of age he came
direct from that place to Osage, borrowing the money with which to make the
journey. He was an example of what thrift and industry will accomplish for
a "four square" young man, as he accumulated considerable property in this
county. He was serving his first term as a member of the board of supervisors
and had gained a reputation for square dealing in that office.
He worked on a farm until his marriage to Miss Mary Slawson on Jan. 19, 1897.
They then purchasing a farm. Five years ago he retired from active farm duties
and purchased a home in this city. He is survived by his devoted wife and four
sons--Roland of San Diego, Calif., and the three named above. One young son,
Wayne passed away about four years ago. Two brothers and two sisters survive
him in his native land across the sea. The passing of a good citizen such as
Mr. Ham is indeed regrettable and many friends will sympathize with his family
in their irreparable loss.
Funeral service will be conducted at the home at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
by Rev. Walker, after which the mortal remains will be laid to rest in Osage
cemetery, the Odd Fellows, of which order he was a member, having charge at
the grave. He was also a member of the Modern Woodmen.
His son Roland was notified of the accident soon after it occurred and
started for Osage as soon as possible and will no doubt be here for the
last sad rites.

Hansen child
Grim Death finds its way to every home. John M. Hansen and wife were
mourning the loss of their only child who was taken from them last
Thursday night. It is hard to lose ones first-born but God knoweth
best. He doeth all things well.
(Feb. 7, 1895).
