IN MEMORY OF JAMES M. LEMAY
"Frlend after frlend departs
Who has not lost friend?"
No one unless it be he who is incapable of friendship.
In life's pilgrimage we travel awhile together, form ties of friendship, sing together our pilgrim songs, share each others burdens along the way like true comrades, until one day one of the number grows weary and lies down in the sleep, which men call death.
James Marion son of Pleasant and Achsah LeMay was bom near Cleveland Indiana June 20 1855 and departed this life at his home in Knightstown September 20, 1925 aged 70 years 2 months and 20 days.
Hie was united in marriage to Miss Sarah E. Gardner in 1878 with whom he made the journey of life, sharing each others joys, and bearing each others burdens for 47 yesrs. To this union were born nine children. Three have preceded him in death.
Having spent his entire life in this community James LeMay was widely known, and had a large circle of friends for he always showed himself friendly. As a citizen he was highly esteemed. He was a successful farmer and for many years resided on what is known as the McClammer farm, north of town. He had a keen sense of wit and often added a touch of humor when in conversation with his friends.
He had been in failing health for some time but his condition became more serious in the last few weeks. He bore his sufferings with patient cheerfulness always kind in his relation a friend and neighbor. He was a devoted husband and father and will be greatly missed.
Besides his wife he leaves four daughters, Mrs. Maude Risk of Rush county, Mrs. Mildred Addison of near Spiceland, Mrs, Ruby Scott and Miss Eva LeMay of Knightstownl also two sons, Guy and Pleasant LeMay, of this city. He also leaves one brother Mr. Lon LeMay of Indianapolis and six grand children.
How often we are called to mourn the loss of loved ones. Less than two months ago we were called together in this home to pay the last tribute of respect to the daughter-in-law Mrs Guy LeMay; but who thought then we would be brought together again so soon, to mourn the loss of this husband and father? This teaches us the uncertainty of life.
We pause a few moments by these newly made graves, drop our tears of sympathy, speak what words of comfort we may, take up our burdens and resume life's journey. But ever more there is a missing chord in the music of our lives, a missing voice in our assemblies, a missing face at our firesides.
But why should we repine, why should we faint or murmur since the Loving Savior has promised "I will not have you desolate, I come unto you."
