Pioneer Resident Passes Away
Early Settler of Idaho, Utah, and Nevada Dies at Farm Home in Aberdeen
James B. Stratton, a pioneer resident of Idaho and Utah, passed to the Great Beyond Friday, May 21, at his farm home in Aberdeen. Mr. Stratton had been ailing for several years due to blood poisoning contracted while attending his farm duties. At the time of his demise Mr. Stratton had been bed-ridden for some time and was unable to withstand an attack of pneumonia, which was the direct cause of his death. Funeral services were held in Aberdeen in the L.D.S. church and the body shipped to Provo, Utah, to be laid in its last resting place in the family burial ground.
Deceased was 68 years of age and leaves to mourn his demise his wife and six children, John W., D.L., Ray, Mrs. Bertha Harris and Mrs. R.P. Hayes all of Aberdeen, and Mrs. Mary Draper of Moab, Utah. Two brothers and four sisters also survive.
Mr. Stratton came west in the early days when pioneering was a job for real men, and helped settle what is now known as the Cedar Valley country in southern Utah and the Muddy country in Nevada. In 1902 Mr. Stratton moved to Canada where he lived for sixteen years previous to his arrival in Aberdeen in the spring of 1917.
The Times extends sympathy to the bereaved family.
