DEATH OF JAMES LOGAN
It was an unexpected summons that came to James Logan, of southeast Perry Township, last Saturday evening. He has been an invalid for years, but for a few weeks previous had enjoyed a considerable improvement in health. Saturday afternoon he was taken suddenly worse and sank rapidly. His ailment was a complication of troubles, though principally heart disease. The departure of this honest hearted citizen and old neighbor was received with surprise and sorrow throughout the community. His late improvement has led his friends to hope he might be permitted to remain on earth several years to come. James Logan was born in Lanark, Scotland, in 1826, died at his home five miles southeast of Traer, July 26, 1890. He was married to Jenette Maxwell, June 3, 1854, and the same day set sail for America. His first home was in Illinois, where the family resided until 1865. Mr. Logan entered the army and served faithfully during the war. When the war was over he removed with his family to Iowa, and has resided in this county for the entire twenty-five years. For several years past he has been an invalid, and the family, accustomed to his illness, were utterly unprepared for his comparative sudden demise. Mr. and Mrs. Logan were the parents of fourteen children of whom thirteen are living. The bereaved wife and twelve of the children were present at the funeral, which was held at the residence at 3 p.m. Sunday, Rev. W. H. Slingerland preaching from John 3:16. The attendance was very large, over seventy teams being in the procession. The scene at the house, and also at the grave, when the family took a last look at the remains, was very effecting. Jas. Logan, Jr., the only one of the children not present at the funeral, is a railroad man, and by hard effort, managed to reach the cemetery at West Union just in time to get a last look at his father's face before the coffin was lowered into the grave. In Mr. Logan the county has lost a good citizen, the community an excellent neighbor and friend, and the family a kind and loving husband and father. The tenderest of sympathy is extended to the mourning friends.

James Logan was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland, in 1826. When but two years of age, his parents died and he was left to be cared for by the cold hand of charity. He was taken care of by his native county until he was nine years old, when he went to live with a farmer, with whom he made his home for four years. At thirteen he engaged with a market man for one year and received as compensation for his work one pound and a pair of shoes. He afterward learned to be a plowman and soon became an expert. He was married, in 1854, to Miss Janet Maxwell, a native of Lanarkshire, and the same year came to America, landed at New York, and went to Illinois. He arrived there, and counting over his little store, found he had but forty dollars. He and his wife engaged to work for a farmer one year at $14 a month, and when the year was up he rented land in Whiteside, Lee and Carroll counties. He enlisted, March 13, 1865, in the 34th Ilinois, Company A, and joined Shermans army in North Carolina. He was with the regiment until the close of the war. He was discharged June 18, 1865, and returned to Illinois, and from there went to Iowa. He rented land in Perry township for two years, then bought forty acres of wild land on section 25. His land is under good cultivation, and he has erected a good house, in which he now lives. He has, within a few years, added to his possessions by purchasing 120 acres of improved land, making 160 acres in his farm. Fourteen children have been born to them, thirteen of whom are now living: John, Janet, Mary, James, Katie, William, Charles, Robert, Abraham L., Agnes, Horace, Jennie, Frank and Sarah. Janet died when she was three years of age.
