James H. Featherngill was born near Harrisburg [sic-Harrodsburg], Ky. Sept 17, 1830 and died near Independence, Kansas, April 6, 1905 aged 74 years, 4 months and 19 days.
His father died when he was a very small child and with his mother, brothers and sisters, all older than himself, he left Kentucky when three years old and settled in Johnson county, Indiana, where he grew to manhood and lived in Nineveh and Hensley townships until Feb. 18, 1885 when he moved to Montgomery Co, Kansas, where he lived until his death. He was married to Sarah A. Clemmer, Nov. 7, 1850. He is survived by his aged companion, four sons, and four daughters. He had been an invalid for three years from kidney trouble ending in dropsy. For the last four months he was entirely helpless but never complaining, ever solicitous for others; but quietly waiting for the end that he knew must come. He was a kind husband, a loving father, a friend to all mankind, honored and respected by all his neighbors.
Funeral services were held at the home, seven miles west of Independence, Kansas on April 7 conducted by the Rev. A. A. Hornet of Pleasant Prairie M.E. church.
Burial at the Quaker cemetery one half mile east of the home. The friends and neighbors of the deceased showed their esteem for him by one of the largest processions that we have seen in a long time.
