He had lain in a comatose condition from the time he was brought home Monday afternoon, and passed away without gaining consciousness. A post mortem examination was made Wednesday night by Drs. Nash, Van Metre and Griffis. When the brain had been laid bare, it was found that the blow, which landed on the right side of the head, had produced concussion and rupture of the left side of the brain. This resulted in a marked hemorrhage, which covered nearly the entire left side and extended to the center of the brain. There was also a slight hemorrhage where the blow struck, and another larger one at the back of the head, where a second injury to the skull was found, supposed to have been received when Mr. S. fell. The skull was fractured in neither place. After the physicians had learned the full extent of the injury they were surprised that he should have lived so long, and it is probably due to his rugged constitution that death did not occur at the time of the accident. The funeral services are being held at the Presbyterian church this afternoon. Interment will take place at Masonic cemetery. The Tipton Advertiser, Friday, August 4, 1905. STUBBLEFIELD James William Stubblefield, only son of Mrs. J. B. Stubblefield was born on a farm in Red Oak township, Cedar County, Iowa, March 22, 1855. Here he spent his childhood, but later removed with his parents to a farm east of Tipton where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage with Miss Mary Breidinger of Inland, Nov. 29, 1877. To this union three children were born, a son , who died in infancy, and the two daughters, who with their mother survive him. For several years after marriage Mr. and Mrs. Stubblefield lived on a farm adjoining that of the former's father, but later removed to the J. C. Lyle farm which they purchased and where they continued to reside until some eight years ago when they removed to Tipton in order to give their daughters the benefits of the city school. Mr. Stubblefield had erected a beautiful home to which the family removed shortly after. Although residing in town, he never gave up his interest in agricultural pursuits, and during the busy season, was almost a daily visitor to his old homestead where he superintended the work done by the men of his employ. He was a model farmer and by industry accumulated a large estate, which is mostly invested in Cedar county farm land. Some ten years go while living on the farm he was converted and joined the M. E. church at York Prairie but upon removing to Tipton transferred his membership by letter to First Presbyterian church of this city. Mr. Stubblefield took an active part in the church work and for several years was a member of the Board of Trustees and at the time of his death was president of the same. The Sunday school was his special delight and few were the Sabbaths that he failed to attend and take charge of the Bible class, a position which he held for the last four years. James Stubblefield was not a theoretical christian but a practical one who lived out his belief and gave evidence of his faith by his daily walk. As all who knew him can testify as to his spotless life and reputation for honesty and truthfulness such as furnish a model for the coming man. He will be greatly missed in church work and also by all who knew and associated with him but in the home where his unselfish disposition was manifested to his wife and children, his early death has cast the darkest shadow. James Stubblefield was a kind and affectionate husband and an unselfish and indulgent father, whose interest centered in his wife and daughters and who labored untireingly for those he loved. He had only reached the age of a little over fifty years and a few months and had every reason to look forward to many years of happiness with his family but on that fatal July afternoon, without any warning, the blow fell and he lapsed in unconsciousness from which he awaked only in the better world. Funeral services which were held Friday afternoon at the Presbyterian church were largely attended by the many friends of the deceased who listened to the words of comfort spoken Rev. W. R. McCaslin. A profusion of beautiful floral tributes decked the casket which held all that was mortal of the departed. Interment was made in the Masonic cemetery and the exercises there were under the auspices of the local K. P. lodge of which the deceased was a member.
