James N. Blakemore Dead
J. N. Blakemore, one of the old residents of Clinton and Henry County, died suddenly at his home on East Green street Tuesday evening. He had not been feeling well all day but had been downstairs as usual and retired at 7:00 as was his custom. At 7:30, his daughter, Miss George, hearing a slight noise, called to her father, but getting no response, went to him to find that the life thread had been cut and the beloved father had slipped into Eternal sleep.
James Nathaniel Blakemore, son of George H. Blakemore and Frances Ragland Blakemore, was born January 13, 1862, on the old Ragland farm, four miles northeast of Clinton. Here his parents had made their home before the war between the states and the old residence is still standing. He had two sisters, Ollie, who became Mrs. Gracey, now deceased, and Audrey, who is now Mrs. W. M. Godwin, South Third street. Mr. Blakemore, as a boy, attended Clinton's private and public schools, completing his education at the college at Fayette and as a lad of 19 years he professed his faith, becoming a member of the Christian church. His schooling completed, he came back to Clinton where he went into his father's implement business and in 1902, at the death of his father, became sole owner of the firm which was then on the south side of the square, on the corner on the east side of Center street.
Mr. Blakemore and Ida E. Ferguson were married April 29, 1885, establishing their new home on West Jefferson street. To their union were born three daughters, Mrs. Marie Byler of East Green street; Miss George of the home; Helen, deceased October 13, 1922, and three sons, James, Roland and Robert, also of the home.
Mr. Blakemore was a charter member of the Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias, Lily Division, Benevolent Order of Elks and both Woodmen lodges. He served as alderman two terms and was elected county recorder in 1902 with John Hart as his deputy. As a young man he took an active part in all political affairs of the town and watched with interest the advancement and growth of Clinton. Twenty years ago Mr. Blakemore moved with his family to their present home at 601 East Green street, where Mrs. Blakemore who survives her husband made a beautiful and quiet home for her family. Mr. Blakemore was a lover of the outdoors and nature, a man of simple tastes who enjoyed his friends to the fullest, for he was social by nature. What he promised he performed and was never known to fail a friend. He retired from business many years ago and as years advanced he lead a quiet, simple life, surrounded by his loving wife and children, who devotedly administered to all his known needs.
The funeral will be conducted by Arthur Lee at 2 p.m. Thursday at the home on East Green street. He was borne to his resting place in Englewood by Clay Adair, R. L. Covington, J. W. Gutridge, Arthur Lee, Wade Wilson, Jim Parks and Charles H. Whitaker Jr
