JAMES H. BUDD
James Harvey Budd was born near Phillipsport, Sullivan Co., N.Y., Oct. 8, 1828. The years of his boyhood were passed in his native place working on the farm with his father and attending the district school for a few months each winter. Here he grew to manhood and here in June, 1852, he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Tice, which union proved a most happy one.
For a number of years he owned and commanded a boat on the Erie canal. In his early boyhood he had shown a marked taste for, and skill in the use of carpenter's tools and this became his choosen
work.
Many of the better class of buildings of an earlier day in Midland and Saginaw, as well as in a number of eastern cities, still bear testimony to the fact that he was "a workman that needed not to be ashamed."
About thirty-five years ago he came to Midland from Elmira, N. Y., and had resided here continuously since with the exception of a few months' residence at Ludington in 1882-3. In the summer of 1877, Mrs. Budd died and Jan. 7, 1880, Mr. Budd was married to Miss Ida M. Briggs.
In May, 1898, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and in the following November fell from the roof of a building on which he was working.
Injuries sustained at this time are believed t have caused the mental derangement which clouded his last days.
Mr. Budd possessed the confidence of those associated with him in business relations, while many who knew him have occasion to remember his kindly disposition and ready and kindly sympathy. For more than two years a helpless invalid, he was ever cheerful and hopeful, and gave evidence that all was well.
As mentioned last week the last rites took place at the home. Rev. N. C. Karr officiating. Mr. Budd is survived by his wife, a foster- daughter, Mrs. W. L. Woodley of Benton Harbor, Mich., and a foster- son, Jas. Budd of this place; also a brother, J. W. Budd of Saginaw, and two sisters, Mrs. W. H. Fineout of Beaver Dams, N.Y., and Mrs. M. H. Mapes of Denver, Colo.
Mrs. Budd and family desire to express their sincere gratitude to those who have so kindly sympathized with , and assisted them in their hours of sadness. Midland Daily News dated 3-17-1905 Page - 1.
