Read More	Unknown Newspaper, May 1941 James Harvey Vernon was born June 13, 1853, and departed this life May 2. If he had lived 1 month and 8 days longer he would have been 88 years old. His parents, Wilburn and Sarah Vernon were among the early settlers of this community. Mr. Vernon's entire life was spent in Miller County. The last 56 years he had lived on the same farm, the old homestead where he has reared one of the largest families in the county, has been made dear to the whole countryside by his gracious hospitality and his friendly greetings to all, and especially dear to his children, his grandchildren, his great-grandchildren, and his great-great-grandchildren. He was married in 18781 to Sarah D. Jones, who preceded him in death December 10, 1881. On June 14, 1885, he was married to Rachel Salina Cox who also preceded him in death on April 20, 1932. Since her death he has remained at his old home except for a few months visiting with some of his children in the state of California. At an early age he was converted and united with the Aurora Springs Baptist Church and has lived a long and a beautiful Christian life. His influence in the church where he has held an office as deacon and his influence in community has meant much for the building of the Kingdom of God. Mr. Vernon was loved by everybody. There never was a family in need of a neighbor or a friend that he wasn't ready and willing to help. In his declining years he did not lose interest in the welfare of his country, and his radio and his good eyesight, which enabled him to read, helped him to keep up with all the latest events of the world. At the time of his death, ten of the children were at his bedside and the other four arrived later, Cecil and Gertie coming from California, Amy from Colorado, and Eliza from Arkansas. Besides his 14 children, he leaves 55 grandchildren, 76 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren, most of whom are here. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Merriott of Latham, Mo., and one brother, Frank Vernon of Eldon, Mo. Both were able to attend the funeral. Besides these near relatives, he leaves many, many friends who will miss "Uncle Harvey" as he was known and called by the entire community. That he was loved by all was made manifest by the large crowd of 348 people that rushed to his bedside, all anxious to be of service to him and the family. Like the Apostle Paul, it can be truly said that he has fought a good fight, he has finished the course, he has kept the faith, and there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness.
