Read More	James Nicholas Hite died at his residence in Lake Township, Monona County, IA June 16, 1886 of heart disease. He was aged 55 years, 11 months, and 21 days. Mr. Hite was born June 24,, 1830 in Marion County, OH. With his parents he emigrated in early life ot DeKalb County, IN. Here he grew to manhood, and at age 22 years, married Miss Melinda Shaw who died November 27, 1873. This union was blessed by 9 children, of which 8 now mourn the loss of a dear mother and kind father. In 1854, Mr. Hite moved to WI and from there to IL in 1857, and afterwards to this county September, 1860. He settled on the farm now owned by Perry Utterback in Lake Township, and has since resided permanently in the county. He, like the large majority of the pioneers of this county, came not with riches but with character and a determination to build a home for his wife and children, and his beautiful farm in Lake Township attests that his efforts were not in vain. While Mr. Hite was struggling to make a home on the then border of the frontier country and had fairly begun, the conflict between the North and South put the nation in peril and called her truest sons. To this Mr. Hite responded December 3, 1863 by enlisting in Company L, 4th Iowa Cavalry. He took part in seven of the hard fought battles of the Rebellion and served to the close of the war. He was mustered out of service in April, 1865 and received his discharge August 8, 1865 when he again joined the companionship of those at home. As above stated, Mrs. Hite died November 27, 1873. In July, 1876, he married Mrs. Elvira Hathaway who survives him. In 1884, Mr. Hite sold his old place and bought the farm on which the family now resided. He has been in reasonably good health. On Wednesday evening the 17th he ate supper and retired early. About 11 pm, he awoke his wife and complained of severe pains around his heart. He grew rapidly worse, and Dr. Ainsworth was sent for and arrived about 2 am. The patient was then sitting in a chair and conversed rationally with the doctor, when he suddenly threw himself back and expired. In his death, the community has lost one of her most respected citizens - a man who in his everyday life displayed those qualities which adorn only the true and noble manhood. As an upright citizen, a kind husband, and the tender father, he leaves behind a remembrance that will be fondly cherished by his surviving family, his brothers and sisters, and hundreds of sympathizing friends and comrades.
