" SAD DEATH MRS. GEORGE A. JAMES
LOVED WIFE AND MOTHER RELIEVED OF SUFFERING
Funeral Sunday Afternoon of Wife of Circuit Clerk James
A great bereavement came to not only the family and near friends but to this whole community in the death on Thursday evening, April 7, at about 9 o clock of that fine woman, devoted wife and mother and kind friend, Mrs. George A . James.
About a year ago she was the subject of a terrible operation at the hospital at Rochester, Minn., and improved for some time, but for the last six weeks a recurrence of the trouble had caused great alarm. The only consolation at this time is the thought that the end inevitable soon, came without a prolonged period of suffering.
