James Hatfield, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Darlington, was born in Yorkshire, England, on July 27, 1838, and died April 22, 1910.
He came with his parents to America in 1854 when but 16 years of age and settled in Wisconsin at Belmont. In 1861 he was married to Miss Hannah Huntington. Eight children blessed the home, of whom three survive.
He was converted thirty-eight years ago and united with the Primitive Methodist church at Strawberry. Nine years ago, he retired from the farm and moved to Darlington, transferring his membership to the M.E. Church, where he has remained a member and served the church faithfully, at the time of his death being a member of the board of trustees. He was deeply religious, devoted to the church, of a gentle disposition, kind in the home and in his last sickness and great suffering often uttered the words of the Psalmist, "Though I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I Will Fear No Evil for Thou Art With Me."
Of the immediate relatives there remains his wife, three children, Dennis A. and Benjamin H. and Mrs. Will Buttery; two brothers, Benjamin and Peter; one sister, Mrs. C.H. Wunn, and five grandchildren, all of whom have the loving sympathy of the church and their many friends in their sorrow.
The funeral took place at the M.E. church, Sunday afternoon, April 24, conducted by Rev. W.E. Roetticher, assisted by Revs. Gable and Kneebone, and interment was made in Union Grove cemetery.
