James HANSFORD was born March 3, 1851, in Lawrence county, Indiana. He was reared on a farm, and in 1869 was married to Martha CHESNUT, of Springville, to which union five children were born–two of whom, Mrs. Jennie CORBIN and Orville HANSFORD preceded him to the Spirit land. Martin HANSFORD and Mrs. Florence GAINEY live at Indianapolis and Mrs. Edith FLETCHER resides at Darlington, Ind. His wife died in 1868(1878?).
He was married the second time to Rebecca A. HUDSON on May 27, 1884 to which union were born–Earl, Carl, Nell and Ruel–all living in Bloomfield, except Carl, who is in the West.
He leaves a wife and seven children and a host of friends to mourn the loss of one who was worthy to be called a husband, father and friend.
In early life he united with the M. E. church and had always lived the life of a christian.
He was a man who was always a hard worker, striving for his family. He worked on the Monon railroad for years as a bridge carpenter, later going to his farm near Dresden, and finally locating at Bloomfield.
For several days the family knew he was suffering from a nervous attack but were not appraised of the seriousness of it until the abrupt ending. It was sudden, it was severe, but we must submit. "Thy will be done."
