The body of James Tweedy, who died at the home of Archie Blue near Saco last Wednesday morning, was brought to Malta Wednesday evening on No. 3, and removed to his home where his body lay in state until Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church. Interment was made in Malta cemetery.
James Tweedy, who was a resident of Malta for 10 years, was well known throughout the county, serving two successful terms as county assessor, during which time he was constantly before the people of the county and made a legion of friends by his honest, sympathetic and lovable nature. Everyone that knew him respected him for his worth and ability and the funeral was largely attended by friends from all over the county who came to pay their last respects and extend their sympathy to the bereaved children.
The deceased was born in Deuchrie, Stenton, Scotland, in 1848 and resided on a large farm with his father. When his father died he took charge of the farm and managed affairs of the estate until the early '70s when he came to this country, where he traveled extensively throughout the United States and Canada, finally settling on a farm in Kansas he embarked in the horse and cattle business. He again returned to Scotland, but only residing there a short time when he returned to Kansas and continued his stock business, of which he made quite a success.
He was married in November 1886, and came to this city about ten years ago, and for a time was in the hotel business. He afterwards was elected county assessor and served the county for two years. About three years ago his life companion silently passed to the great beyond and since then he has been failing. For 18 months he suffered with diabetes and finally last Wednesday the dread disease claimed its victim.
He was the father of three children, Annie, Ellen and Andrew, who are left with many relatives to mourn his demise.
