About a week ago Mrs James contracted influenza and on Tuesday when her condition became alarming she was removed to the R.M. Hospital where she passed away the following morning. Deceased, whose maiden name was Jessie Jane Syme, was born 57 years ago, the eldest daughter of the late Peter T. Syme and his wife, Sarah McGill, of Ramsay. Thirty-five years ago she married Edward James of Almonte, who survives. Also left to mourn are three brothers and two sisters, namely, John of Almonte; -652- Catherine, Mrs Hugh McMillan, Ramsay; Peter of Bennies' Corners; Albert of Carleton Place and Violet, Mrs Archie Mick of Jackson, Mich. The loss of Mrs James is one which will be keenly felt in this community. Possessed of a kindly disposition she was beloved by all. She was a member of Bethany United Church and took part in all its activities. She was a member of the choir, taught in the Sunday School, was a life member of the Women's Missionary Society and leader of Circle No 5 of the Women's Auxiliary. Among the floral tributes were pieces from the choir of Bethany Church, Circle No 5 of Bethany W.A., the neighbours, W.M.S. of Bethany Church and the Auld Kirk Cemetery committee. The funeral will be held on Friday, March 7th, at 2 p.m. (D.S.T.) from the family residence Reserve Street, for service in Bethany United Church. 1941, Thursday March 13,The Almonte Gazette page 4 Funeral of Mrs Edward James A last tribute of esteem and respect was paid to the memory of the late Mrs Edward James, Friday afternoon, March 7th, at her funeral which was held from the family residence on Reserve Street, to Bethany Church and the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The church was filled to capacity, many of those present being members of the congregation among whom she had served so faithfully in the various women's organizations. The pastor, Rev W.J. Scott, conducted the service, taking as his text the words: "Weep not; she is not dead." Because of the prominence of deceased in church work, Mr Scott, made a direct reference to some of her fine qualities. He told of her association with the various branches of the congregational organization and stressed the cheerfulness with which she devoted her time to these activities. There was nothing grudging about the way Mrs James performed the various tasks that she undertook. Her only regret seemed to be that she had not more time to place at the disposal of the church and its interests. Death came to Mrs James at the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, after a brief illness. The pallbearers were Messrs O.L. James, Lorne James, Ross Barr and Arnold Metcalfe of Almonte, Clare Syme of Ramsay and Jas Crawford of Carleton Place. The sympathy of many friends goes out to the bereaved husband and the brothers and sisters of deceased.
