Notes: The middle name that I have entered for James is the middle name given in his death record at the Wapello County Court House.
James' obituary, which I have transcribed below, gave his date of birth as January 10, 1859. The year of birth on his gravestone is 1860. James is seen with his parents in the 1860 Census for Monegaw, St. Clair County, Missouri, at the age of 6 months. This census was done on September 12, 1860..
Also, his obituary gave his marriage date as November 11, 1877. James and Mary's marriage record is found in ancestry.com, and the date on it is November 11, 1879.
I have transcribed the obituary as written.
