Read More	James Leaverton died at his home near Milton, Iowa, Aug. 30, 1908. Having been in failing health for some months past he took his bed about Aug. 1st and gradually grew weaker until the evening of Aug. 30th when he quietly passed away. The deceased was born near Richmond, Indiana, Oct. 24, 1823, making him 84 years, 10 months and 6 days old at the time of his death. He moved with his parents to Highland County, Ohio when a small boy. He was married to Lucretia Nance Feb. 8, 1849, to this union ten children were born, two dying in infancy and the eldest son John W. died near Des Moines, Iowa, Apr. 24, 1903. The children who survive him are Mrs. Sarah Price, of Milton, Ia., Mrs. Clara Holmes, Mitchell, S. D., G. W. Leaverton, Alamosa, Col., James Jr. of Milton, Ia., W. S., of Granger, Ia., O. H., of Milton, Ia., and Mrs. Iambia Abernathy, Milton, Ia. All save one were present during his last sickness to minister to him and care for the aged wife and mother, who is left, together with the children, twenty grand-children, four sisters and many other relatives and friends to mourn their loss, also two great-grand-children. The deceased came with his wife and small son to Iowa, in the fall of 1850 and settled on a farm three and one-half miles northeast of Milton, where he has since lived. He was received into the M. E. Church when a small child but was never an active member of the church. He was a kind husband and father, a good neighbor, very firm in his ways, but honest and upright in all his dealings with men. Uncle Jimmy, as he was familiarly called will be greatly missed in his home and the community in which he lived. The funeral was held Tuesday the 1st of September at the home at 2 p. m., and the remains laid to rest in the New Cemetery in Milton Aurora Lodge No. 50 A. F. & A. M. having charge of the services at the grave. Thus another good man has gone and one that will be greatly missed in the community and neighborhood. NOTE: Family notes found indicate that James Leaverton is the son of Thomas and Lydia (Dwiggins) Leaverton of Highland County, OH and grandson of John Foster Leaverton. ∼Lucretia is his wife.
