JAMES WALSH LAID TO REST SUNDAY AFTERNOON _________________________________ Was Resident of Butler County For Sixty Years; Came to Iowa When Six Years Old. ____________________ In the passing of Dr. James Walsh, Butler county, where he has lived for 60 years, has lost a pioneer veterinarian for many years lost a valuable citizen, one who, until disease fastened upon him, was never too tired, night or day, to answer calls, making long drives, subjecting himself to cold and weariness. Of strong physique, he endured much until the fall of 1923 at which time he suffered a stroke from which he only partially recovered. September 5, 1924, he was again stricken with paralysis, which practically disabled him. Later Bright's disease developed and his condition had been critical for some weeks. Dr. Walsh, although a non-graduate, won himself a title, distinguished by his skill as a practitioner and was granted a certificate by the state board to practice his chosen profession. James Walsh, son of Thomas and Letitia Walsh, was born in Pike county, Ill., December 2, 1848, and passed out of this life April 16, 1925, having reached the age of 76 years, 4 months and 13 days. When a lad of 6 years, he removed with his parents to Jones county, Iowa, where the family resided about ten years, moving to a farm in Butler county, three and one half miles northeast of Clarksville in 1864. Here he developed into manhood, assisting his parents and other pioneers and attending the first school established in the community. In 1870, he acquired the farm three and one half miles north of Bristow, now managed by his son, Delos. On November 10, 1872, Miss Abigail Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Williams of Clarksville, became his bride, coming at once to the Bristow farm where they established their home, living here continuously, with the exception of six years spent near Antioch, in the Clarksville community, until moving to Bristow about 1910. They endured much hardship and privation incident to that early day, but were courageous and cheerful, industrious and frugal, prosperous, hospitable and kind. Eleven children blessed this union, nine of whom survive; one son, Wm. Arthur, dying in infancy. Frank, when a lad of 8, lost his life when the home burned in 1900 and faithful wife and mother passed to the heavenly home November 3, 1912. The living children are: Henry, Choteau, Okla; Mrs. Mae Ebling, Barnesville, Minn; Mrs. Alma Utz, Bellingham, Wash; Delos, George, Mrs. Emma Overturf, Mrs. Laura Searle, Mrs. Ethel McNeilus and Mrs. Susie Truex, of Bristow; thirty grandchildren and four great grandchildren also survive. June 30, 1915, Mr. Walsh was united in marriage to Mrs. Ellen Courier, who, assisted by his children, had cared for him during the weeks of his disability. A stepson, Vance Courier, who made his home with them for a while, also survives. Besides his immediate family, he leaves a brother, Arthur, Minneapolis, Minn; Richard, Clarksville, Iowa; Thomas, Iowa City, Iowa; Robert, Trent, South Dakota; and a sister Mrs. Letitia Ogden, of Omaha Nebraska. In 1895, during a revival meeting conducted by Evangelist Redline, Mr. Walsh confessed his faith in Christ and united with the Christian church and has retained his membership for the past 8 years had been an honorary member of the M.E. missionary society. He has lived his life and gone out from among us and will be missed by all, but to the immediate family the loss is irreparable. Funeral Services were conducted on the Sabbath afternoon with Rev. Gowin of the U.B. church, assisted by Rev. Miller of the Church of Christ in charge. There was a brief service at the house at 2 o'clock where a large group of relatives assembled, which service was concluded at the Church of Christ, Rev. Gowin using as a text: "If a man die, will he live again?" A quartet, Mrs. Mae Morford, Mrs. Maud Waite, W.A. Richards and B.H. Corey, with Mrs. Ruth Patton at the piano, furnished the music. The large concourse of people in attendance, scores coming from a distance, bore testimony of the wide acquaintance and many friendships of one who will go no more in and out among us. The church was packed with sympathizing relatives and friend and many were unable to gain admittance, 75 autos waned their way to the silent city, Oak Hill, where interment was made in the family lot. There were many beautiful flowers, which were appreciated by the family.
