Death came very suddenly and unexpectedly and consequently was a very great shock to her family and friends. For several years the James family home has been in Clay Center, and while Mrs. James was one of the quietest and most unassuming of persons, her gentle influence was always felt wherever she went, and she filled her life here with loving service. Hers was a life well spent and her memory will be honored by all who knew her. While Mrs. James was a real home-maker and home lover, she also found time to be a good neighbor and friend and made many sacrifices to help others. Her many good deeds are now recalled by those who have benfitted by them. Addie D. Cox, daughter of Joseph and Lizzie Cox, was born at Blue Grass, Vermillion Co., Ill., October 14, 1869. While quite young, she came with her parents, to Kirwin, Kan., and some time later to Clay Center, where she continued to make her home until the time of her death, the last few years having been spent in Clay Center, where the family retired from the farm. When but ten years of age she was left motherless,and became the care-taker of her younger brothers and a few years later the death of her father left her with a heavy responsibility of the care of the family. On November 27, 1887, she was united in marriage to Wm. R. James, at the Wesleyan parsonage, by Rev. Wm. Campbell. To this union nine children were born, all of whom survive her, with the exception of little Ruthie, who preceded her mother in death ten years. The surviving children are Chas. V., of Lonford, LeRoy of Holyoke, Colo., Floyd R. of Abilene, Mrs. Myrtle Craft of Drumright, Ok., Mrs. Lulu Fouse of Longford, Mrs. Myra Down of Green, Mrs. Mina Parsons of Fort Wayne, Ind., and Clara at home. Besides her husband and children she leaves to mourn their loss, two brothers, Chas. E. Cox of Meridan, Idaho, and Albertus Cox of Stockton, Calif.; two sisters, Mrs. Mary Avery of Santa Ana, Calif., and Mrs. Avery of Long Valley, Idaho. One brother and one sister preceded her in death. She also leaves seventten grandchildren and a host of friends. Mrs. James was converted in early girlhood, uniting at once with the Wesleyan Methodist church, and had remained a loyal member until her death. Her Christian life was a beautiful example of the power of God to make humanity like unto Himself, as it is surrendered to him. The death of Mrs. James was a tragedy, as humanity views it, but was a glorious coronation, as seen through the eyes of God. She was stricken, even in apparent health, and with scarcely a word, passed away in but two hours from the time she was stricken with paralysis. Her death occurred at the family home at Clay Center, on Sunday, January 25, at 4 p.m. and at the time of her death she was 55 years, 3 months and 11 days of age. The family have sustained a severe loss of a wonderful mother, the husband a noble wife and the community a valued woman. She was a woman of sterling worth and of strong, Christion character. The funeral occurred Wednesday afternoon, January 28, with a short service at the home at 12 o'clock, conducted by the pastor of the First Baptist church, Rev. W. Harley Smith, and at the North Wesleyan Chapel at 1:30 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Childs, and the funeral service was preached by Enangelist Wallace Carpenter. The pall bearers were the sons and sons-in-law. Interment was in the Wesleyan Cemetery. Many friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed, and the beautiful floral offerings were silent expressions of love and sympathy.
