Hard working, as a result of his toil he was one of our most successful farmers Honesty was a settled principle with him, he carried it out in all his deal- ings. He was taken sick after a hard day’s work Monday, Feb. 23rd. His illness became dangerous, and he died the following Wednesday morning. Funeral services were held Friday in the Ohio St. M. E. Church, conducted by his pastor, Rev. W. F. Jones. The esteem in which he was held by our people, was shown in the large audience assembled to honor his memory. It isa best tribute to say of this man that he was a good man in the fullest sense of that term. If we had more of such men like James M. Wells, the world would be the better and happier.
