Read More	James married Katherine Maxwell on Nov 18, 1872 at Clinton, MA. They were the parents of John, James, William, Mary, Frances, Honora, Joseph, Nellie, Nettie, and Gene. April 5, 1922 - Emmetsburg Democrat - James Sammin of this city, whose health became impaired 2 years ago when his condition made it necessary for him to retire from business, passed away at his home in this city last Friday. Thursday he was able to be about and felt as well as usual but at 9:30 p.m. he took a severe coughing spell and in a short time his condition became very serious. Medical aid was promptly summoned but it is thought that he received another stroke of paralysis, which hastened the end. The funeral was held on Monday. Services were conducted at the Assupmtion church, Monsignor P.F. Farrelly celebrating a requiem high mass. Many old neighbors and friends besides the close relatives of the deceased were in attendance. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were Thomas O'Connor, J.P. Downs, J.K. Martin, Peter Bough, Daniel Burns and M.F. Brennan. Mr. Sammin was a native of Askalon, County of Mayo, Ireland. He was born in 1840. His age was eighty-two. He came to the United States in 1858, soon after locating at Clinton, Mass. He was married at that place to Katherine Maxwell, November 18, 1872. Mr. and Mrs. Sammin spent some time at Scranton, Pa., after which they came west, locating at Wycoff, Minnesota. Forty-three years ago they became residents of Emmetsburg, subsequently making their home in this city. Mr. Sammin was a shoemaker and followed his trade steadily until he became advanced in years when his constitution became impaired and he was obliged to retire. Mrs Sammin died Sept 16, 1914. Mr Sammin is survived by 2 sons and 3 daughters. The sons are William and Joseph. Will is the manager of a large produce house at Onawa, Joseph represents the same firm at Jefferson, Iowa. The daughters are Mrs D Brodigan of Emmetsburg and Misses Nellie and Nettie, who are at home. Miss Nettie has had a position in the Whittemore school for a number of years. During the past 2 or 3 years, Miss Nellie had to give up her work in order to take care of her father. There were 3 other sons. John died in 1903, Gene in 1907, and Frank passed away when five years old. A familiar figure in daily meetings and greetings on our streets and in Emmetsburg gatherings for nearly fifty years has been taken from our midst. Mr. Sammin was sharp and observing and he kept well posted on local, state and general affairs. He was a ready and interesting converser and there was always a vein of rich hurmor in his comments on public matters and community occurences. He had a great many warm friends. He had very few enemies. He loved the land of his nativity with the ardor of an Emmet and he knew well the long record of her government and her severe trials. Her victories achieved during the past few years were very comforting to him. At the same time he yielded to no one in his devotion to the highly cherished institutions of the land of his adoption. This was well demonstrated during the world war. Though he had no love for Great Britain as an ally, he was unsparing in his criticism of those who would offer encouragement or assistance to the enemy. He was an active, enthusiastic democrat. We appreciated his hearty hand shake, his loyal friendship and his encouragement for worthy motives and deeds. All who knew him will learn with sincere regret of his death and offer heart felt sympathy to the sorrowing sons and daughters.
