Read More	Grew up on his father's farm, doing such work as his strength allowed. He had neuralgia all his life and few except his family knew the intense suffering he endured. James Talbert was a poet and kept a Journal of the important events of his life [from 1855-1882] Included in the Journal are some of James' poems he wrote at his father's home "Oak Lawn" to Frances Ann (Fannie) Lowrey, whom he married. James began life as a small farmer but as time passed he became quite successful. In the early 1870's he began a country mercantile business at Elmwood. He accumulated property and at one time owned considerable land estate. He was a man of his word, and when he said he would do a thing he would. He was a man of sound judgement and discretion. His advice and counsel were often sought and young men of both races have said that whatever successes they made in life was due to the advice and encouragement he gave them. After the death of his mother-in-law, he bought Cedar Hill, the old home place settled by Conrad Martin Lowrey, and built his home directly in front of the old Lowrey home. He became the postmaster of Elmwood and thus Cedar Hill's name was changed. Elmwood was known for its hospitility, and ministers of both the Baptist and Methodist churches were always welcome. No stranger seeking a night's lodging in the horse and buggy days was turned from its doors. Young people loved to visit "Aunt Fanny" and "Uncle Jim". His young children would gether 'round while he played Dixie, The Homespun Dress, and Nellie Gray on the accordian. He loved music and especially enjoyed patriotic music and the old hymns. He joined the McKendree church and was the first Sunday School Superintendent and also a Steward and Trustee. He was a loyal Democrat and in the 1876 contributed his share to the overthrow of radicalism and the success of Gary, Butler, and Hampton. Edgefield SC, Jan. 27 - James D. Ouzts died at his home in the Elmwood section of the county this morning. He was seized with acute indigestion and death resulted in a few hours. Mr. Ouzts was one of the oldest citizens in the county, having celebrated his 80th birthday on the 30th of last December with a family reunion. He wilded a potent influence and was greatly beloved in his community. Mr. Ouzts possessed decided business acumen, managing his farm and other interests with unusual ability. He was a member of McKendree church, from which the funeral was held. Mr. Ouzts is surveilled by his wife, six daughters, Mrs. Corrie Adams, Mrs. J. O. Herin, Mrs. J. M. Shaffer, Mrs. G. T. Asbill, Mrs. W. H. Harling, and Miss Flora Ouzts, and two sons, Dr. W. D. Ouzts and A. G. Ouzts. The State, January 28, 1914.
