James Wesley Crain, son of J. M. and Mary Ann McGlothlin Crain passed away at the family home on Blue Ridge, November 18, 1930, at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. This good man is deeply mourned by a host of friends, and his loved ones to mourn an incomputable loss.
Funeral services were held at the Blue Ridge church the day following his death, with Rev. J. P. Gilliam, of Carlton, conducting the services and paying high tribute to the noble Christian life Mr. Crain had lived amongst us. After the service the mortal body was borne to the new Odd Fellows Cemetery in Hamilton, where the last sad rites were conducted.
The pall bearers were Joe Cleveland, Horace Fowler, S. M. Pruett, Cal Pruett, John Hibits, and Bill O'Bannon.
James Wesley Crain was born April 16, 1871, in the state of Tennessee. When he was a small boy, Mr. Crain's parents came to Texas. They settled in Coryell County, near Oglesby, Texas. He was married to Amanda Stribling on October 23, 1895. Five children wee born to this union, two sons and three daughters; one daughter dying when a small child. The grief stricken widow and children surviving are: J. E. Crain and R. V. Crain, of Hamilton; Ruby and Lura Crain of the parental home. One grandchild, Lucy Crain, two brothers and one sister also mourn the passing of this beloved one. They are J. M. Crain [sic T. M.], of Oglesby, G. M. and Miss Delia Crain of Stephenville. Mr. Crain came to Hamilton County in 1907, and settled in the Blue Ridge community where he has resided continuously since. Mr. Crain was converted and joined the Missionary Baptist church forty years ago and has always lived on a high plane of moral standards, kindness, and charity toward all. His life was truly admirable and exemplary, and as a servant in the church he was active in every good work. His life was entirely devout.
A good son has gone from walks of earth to dwell in eternal bliss, and loved ones and friends are left lonely and mourning the absence from places that knew him of a useful and well beloved one, but all find comfort and consolation in his release from pain and the blotting out of his life forever of all sorrow, and every one bereaved seeks shelter under the wings of the Almighty God.
