John H. Jameson, for many years a prominent and worthy citizen of Fulton, died at his home on Main street on Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock of stomach trouble, aged 64 years.
Mr. Jameson was only ill about a week and every effort was made by physicians, relatives and friends to alleviate his sufferings and shield him from the grim reaper but without avail.
On Monday night his relatives felt that there was no hope for his recovery and those near and dear to him were summoned to his bedside. He was in possession of his mental faculties to the last and passed away peacefully, full of hope and as a Christian into the last strange sleep which ultimately must overcome us all.
John H. Jameson was born in Fulton July 14, 1838 and was the son of John Jameson, for many years a prominent member of the Fulton bar, and who served three terms in Congress, the last Callawegian to serve in that body.
Mr. Jameson graduated from Westminster College in 1858 and three years later he graduated from the Harvard law school. He, however, paid but little attention to the practice of law and for many years followed different business pursuits and at the time of his death he was connected with his sons in the transfer business of this city.
In 1861 Mr. Jameson married Miss Mary E. Herndon, of which union nine children were born, three of whom still survive: W. E., John, and Miss Dolly.
Mr. Jameson joined the Christian church in 1855 and all through his life was an ardent worker in the cause of religion and educational work. In matters of public interest and endeavor he was always for what appeared to his heart as being good and right and death is a cause for sorrow in the entire community.
The funeral services took place at the home on Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock and were conducted by Rev. M. A. Hart and Dr. Frank W. Allen, of Columbia, after which the remains were laid to rest in the old family burial ground about 1 mile north of Fulton on the Mexico road.
The pall bearers were E. L. Edwards, J. F. Smith, John Ferrell, John McGregor, Sisera Threlkeld, F. M. Hereford and Geo. W. Hamilton.
The business houses of Fulton were closed from 4 o'clock until 5 in respect to the memory of the deceased and the bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
