Another of Malvern's pioneer citizens and builders was called to his long home the past week in the passing of James Churchill whose death occurred Tuesday, February 28. Funeral services were held from the late home on Friday afternoon at 2:30 conducted by Rev. A.J. Meterhoff, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Mesdames C.E. Porter and L.A. Talbot with Mrs. A.L. Gill as accompanist sang. The remains in the flag draped casket were borne to their last resting place in the Malvern cemetery by C.W. Black, D.E. Whitfield, Robert Hammond, James Roberts, J.W. McNulty and G.C. Boston, old friends and neighbors of the deceased. As a mark of respect, all the business houses were closed during the hour of services. Mr. Churchill was one of Malvern's earliest citizens coming here in 1870 and continuing to make this his home all these years. In his younger years he took a great interest in the affairs of our city and was always proud of the growth and development of the town, He was a great builder and probably built and owned more houses in Malvern than any other man who ever lived here. He was a benefactor to the many people who required houses at a moderate price and many of his houses remain to commemorate his memory and the faith he had in his home town. He was a man of most positive convictions which he was fearless in expressing and no one was long in doubt as to how he stood on any important question. He has had much to do in the building up and growth of Malvern and leaves many friends who sincerely mourn his departure. He was in every sense of the word a pioneer resident and his name will always be linked with that of his old home town which he helped to found and to build up. The following obituary was read at the services: James Churchill was born in Kennyville, Tioga county, Penn., October 16, 1832, and died in Malvern, February 28, 1922. He was one of a family of nine children, only one, a brother at the old home town in Pennsylvania, surviving him. He enlisted as a soldier in the War of the Rebellion of the Southland and served his country three years in Company K, Second Wisconsin Cavalry. After the close of the war he came to Iowa and March 15, 1868, was married to Addie Frances Love at Marshalltown, Iowa. In August, 1870, with his wife and baby he came to Malvern which has since been his home. Mrs. Churchill passed away January 3, 1918, since which time his daughter and son have cared for the home. Five children were born to this union, all of whom survive him - Frank, Charles and Mae of Malvern and Mrs. Nellie Black of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Mrs. Grace Buffington of Crawford, Nebr. - - - James Churchill was a resident of Janesville, Wisconin, when he enlisted as a Private on 5 January 1864.
