James Chaney
The announcement on Thursday, December 17, that James Chaney was dead sickened the whole community. Says his immediate friends and neighbors, few people were aware of his illness fewer still had knowledge of its serious character. Soon after the news had spread abroad came the information that the rumor was unfounded, that he was still living, but in imminent peril. His friends rejoiced in the hope that the mans, tough fiber and strong constitution , that never was impaired by dissipation or vice, would enable him to baffle the destroyer ; and with humorous delight they anticipated the pleasure they would have in repeating to him the many kindly things spoken of him when it was believed that lie had passed beyond the need of kindness or sympathy. But their hopes were not to be full filled. Pneumonia, the acute disease that held him firmly from the first in its deadly grasp, and racked his strong frame with agony beyond mortal endurance, yielded nothing to the most skillful treatment, and at three o'clock Friday morning, December 18th, he gave up the unequal struggle and passed away at the age of fifty-five years, eight months and eighteen days.
Eulogistic obituaries are so common that it has become a difficult task to prepare a just and appropriate memorial of one of real and conspicuous merit who has returned to earth, without using expressions that have become stereotyped and meaningless because of their indiscriminate use. Yet in this instance every one who knew the subject of this sketch will accept what is said of him here as true, in its literal significance, for the man was well and widely known to the people of the community in which he lived out the days alloted to him on earth.
James Chaney was all his life a farmer, and had the deserved reputation of being one of the best farmers in Highland county. He was "level-headed," prudent and safe always in all things. The man's acquaintances were also his friends, and he was implicitly trusted by them all. No one ever questioned his integrity it was above question. In his friendships he was loyal to the core, and his friends loved him and were devoted to him. In the domestic circle his life was above reproach, and he may truthfully be said to have been a model husband and father. Nearly thirty-four years ago he was married to Margaret Ann Purdy, who with their only son, N. E. Chaney, of the law firm of Pavcy & Chaney, survive him to mourn a loss that is to them indeed irreparable. Yet in their sorrow they are confronted by
the knowledge that they inherit from the one who has "gone before" the best legacy that a good man can leave to those nearest and dearest to him, a stainless memory and the record of a life that has in it no example of error. During the short illness of the deceased and since its sad ending neighbors and friends were and have been assiduous and devoted in their kindly offices to the stricken family, the survivors of which gratefully appreciate and acknowledge the many testimonials of sympathy bestowed upon him and them in the hour of affliction and sorrow.
