PIONEER WOMAN DIES

Mrs. Lydia M. James, 78, pioneer resident of Osage County, died June 2nd, 1925, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charley Losh. Mrs. James was born in Elizabeth, West Va., August 7, 1846, and came to Kansas in 1873. They settled on a farm near Union, Kansas, where she has resided ever since. In 1868, she was married to J.T. James, who has preceded her to the Great Beyond. To this union were born eleven children, all of whom are living except one daughter who has gone on before. Those surviving their mother are: Mrs. Maggie Parman of Shawnee, Okla.; George James, Carbondale, Kansas; Ellsworth James, Brainard, Minn.; Mrs. Myra Losh, Carbondale, Kansas; Wm. James, Richland, Kansas; Mrs. Lizzie Fulkerson, Overbrook, Kansas; Amos James, St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. Ethel Ackley, Hamilton, Kansas; Charley James, Florence, Kansas; Henry James, Lawrence, Kansas. There are also 32 grand-children and 10 great-grand-children, besides many other relatives and friends.



Mrs. James is fondly remembered by the older people of this community, as she was one of the pioneers, coming here when the country was quite young. For a number of years she with her husband conducted a store and had charge of what was then the Union postoffice, until the rural route out of Carbondale caused the office to be discontinued. Mrs. James still kept the store for a number of years after the death of her husband. Mrs. James was also an active member of the Ladies of the G.A.R. for several years.



Since the death of her husband, she has lived alone in her home, until a short time ago, she was taken ill, when she was taken to her daughter, Mrs. Losh's, home where she was tenderly cared for until she passed away Monday night at 12:20.



Funeral services were conducted at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Losh Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. Reed of Topeka. The body was laid to rest in the Richland cemetery by the side of her husband.
