OBIT ASHLAND TIDINGS, 3 OCT 1912, PAGE 5:
MRS. EMMA HOWARD JAMES
Remains of Former Well-Known Ashlander Brought Here for Burial.
The remains of Mrs. Emma Howard James, who died at Salem Sunday, were interred in the family plot in Ashland cemetery Tuesday afternoon. Religious services were held at the First Presbyterian church at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. H.T. Chisholm. Services at the grave embraced the beautiful ritualistic work of the Order of the Eastern Star as interpreted by the officers of Alpha Chapter No. 1, of this city, of which the deceased had been a member for many years. Many old friends and acquaintances of the family joined in the last tributes of respect, which were also attested by the wealth of floral offerings which marked the occasion.
Mrs. James was a native of Iowa, having been born in Council Bluffs, in that state, in 1869, but she grew to womanhood in Ashland. As Miss Emma Howard she was popular and most highly respected, both in social and business circles in this city. During the incumbency of her step-father, the late A.P. Hammond, as postmaster, she was his efficient deputy, and later for a nunbroken period of eight years capably filled the responsible position of Wells-Fargo express agent in Ashland, which position she resigned upon her marriage to Thomas James, a well-known mining engineer, in May 1896. Their home has almost ever since been away from Ashland, in the east much of the time at Spokane, Wash., and also at Portland. For five or six years past Mrs. James had been in very poor health and her condition grew steadily worse and baffled the best medical skill and attention which was lavished upon her, until death came as a relief from prolonged pain and suffering.
Besides the stricken husband and son, Howard, a lad of 15, she is survived by the following foster and half brothers and sisters: A.E. Hammond of Portland; John Hammond; Mrs. Marian Lindsay of Bellingham, Wash.,; Mrs. Grace Turner, Ashland; Lieutenant T.W. Hammond, U.S.A.; Mrs. Kate Young Medford; Mrs. Nellie Minkler; Frank Hammond of the railway mail service and Robert Hammond of Gold Hill.
NOTE: Mrs. Sarah Devoe of Yankton, S.D., was omitted as one of Emma's surviving sisters.
