THE LEBANON WEEKLY STANDARD, page 4, Wednesday, August 1, 1877. IN MEMORIAM. James Irvin3e Wimsatt.
"Truly the ways of the Lord are past finding out."
James Irvine Wimsatt died in the city of Paris Kentucky, July 6, 1877.
He was born in Marion county, Ky., in the year 1850. When but a child financial difficulties overtook his father; but, worst of all, in his early childhood, he lost his mother, at a time when such love and care as can be bestowed by a fond mother only, is so much needed. Yet in spite of all these sad calamities, he educated himself and was guided by loving sisters in path of rectitude and virtue, in which regard he stood preeminent from childhood through his short and eventful life. His moral worth soon attained for him a situation in a well conducted drug store. While engaged in the drug business in Lebanon he graduated in the School of Pharmacy of Louisville, Ky. He maintained his situation in the same drugstore, until by sobriety, industry and rigid economy, he was enabled to set up for himself. In the space of two short years he had established a lucrative business among strangers, and won the confidence of his fellow citizens as a first class business man. In a word, his prospects for the world were bright indeed. A little more than one year ago he married a lady in every respect worthy {a few illegible words}, and but one month since was blessed by the birth of a bright little son to bear the name of his honored sire, who was just ready to respond to the call to go hence and reap the rich reward prepared for him. May God deal mercifully with the bereaved wife and dear little orphan boy! May those dear sisters and aged parent who raised him, and who were so proud of their noble work, be comforted by the hope that, though loved, respected and honored in this world, he will be happier in the next. The writer knew him long and well and honored him for his true worth. W. W. C.
