James A. Nowland Passed Away
An Old Settler and Highly Esteemed Citizen, Died on Saturday After a Lingering Illness
After several months sickness with a complication of bladder and stomach troubles, James A. Nowland, esteemed fellow citizen and one of God's noblemen, passed away on Saturday, August 8th. He was born on Feb. 11, 1851, in Lafayette, Tippecanoe county, Indiana, and died at his home in Cherokee. He came here with his father's family in 1870 and settled on a farm two miles northeast of Cherokee, where he continued to live until nine years ago, when they moved to town. When a boy he joined the Methodist church, and ever since has lived a quiet, consistent, Christian life, doing good and setting a good example. His life was that of a quiet, generous, Christian gentleman, and everybody loved and respected him. The large attendance at his funeral on Sunday was a tribute to the memory of a beloved and honored citizen.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church by his pastor, Rev. M.P. Dixon, assisted by the Rev. Paden of the Presbyterian church, and his remains were laid to rest in a new vault in the Cherokee cemetery. His wife, and a brother, John, who lives in Utah, and two sisters, Eliza and Vina of Chicago, survive him.
