Death Of An Old Citizen
The Choctaw Herald May 13, 1915
Judge James Usray died at his home northwest of the city today at the ripe old age of 80 (wrong 67 years) years. For a long time the judge has been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. John West, and has for years been an invalid. The immediate cause of his death was Bright's disease, accompanied by old age.
There was possibly not a better known man in Choctaw county than Judge Usray, he having lived in this section for the past 50 years. He gained his title of judge about 25 years ago, when he was elected judge of what was then Kiamichi county, in territorial days, begin elected by the Indians. He afterwards served one or two terms as sheriff of the same county. Mr. Usray was one of the most substantial men of the county, always having plenty and making a success of anything he undertook. During the latter years he has been so crippled up that he could not take very good care of his property, and last fall informed a News man that he had probably lost 50 head of horses because he was not able to see after them, and rustlers got them.
He leaves three daughters, Mrs. John West, of near Hugo,
Mrs. Ozzie Lattimer of Wynnewood, and Mrs. Tom Self, who lived on an adjoining farm to her father. Mr. Usray was married to a Miss Roebuck shortly after he came to this country from Texas, years ago, and his wife has been dead for many years.
The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at two o'clock at the West home, and the burial will take place at Cold Springs Cemetery.
Family states he was buried here with his wife at Roebuck Cemetery. I have also been told that Roebuck was also known as Cold Springs. Cold Springs is just down the road from Roebuck.
One daughter who passed was Ella B. Usray who is also buried in Roebuck Cemetery.
Enlisted in the army. Twice elected and served two terms as County Judge of Kiamichi County, and was elected and served as Sheriff of Kiamichi County, Choctaw Nation.
