Mr. Pelham was a man of good business qualities and persevering, enterprising citizen and a man of strong convictions. He was a Republican from the first organization of the party. He manifested his religious faith by joining the Baptist church in early life and continued a consistent christian life until the death messenger called him home. Mr. P. has been in feeble health for a number of years and an attack of la grippe brought him face to face with the death messenger. Sunday morning, Feb. 2d, at 9:45, he passed quietly and gently to the spirit land. Although deprived of speech his mind was clear, recognizing all that came to see him till the end came. His wife, his sons, his son-in-law, H.F. Dean, his grand children, Cyrus Pelham an Mrs. C. Daniels were around his bed when the last moment came. The funeral was from the Baptist church at 1 p.m., Tuesday Feb. 4, Revs Miles of Camanche and Lamb, of DeWitt, officiating.
