DIES OF PARALYSIS
James McBride, Who Was For Several Years An Invalid
Last Wednesday forenoon, James McBride, while sitting on the porch at home, received a stroke of paralysis. He had previously been the victim of one or two strokes. He died at eight o'clock that night. The funeral was held Friday forenoon. Services were conducted at the Assumption church, Very Rev. P.F.Farrelly officiating. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. Numerous neighbors and friends were in attendance.
James McBride was born at Boston Mass. in 1870. His age was 49. When he was eight years of age, his parents came west and located on a farm in Highland township, this county. Mr McBride grew to manhood in that locality. Something over twenty years ago, shortly after moving to Emmetsburg, he was very badly injured while working on the city well. A large derrick fell, striking him and the late John Walsh. Mr. Walsh died several hours after he was taken home. Mr. McBride's condition was very serious for several weeks, but he finally recovered, although he suffered more or less during the remainder of his life from the effects of the frightful accident. Four years ago, he was injured again by a drill while digging a well and also suffered a stroke of paralysis. He was subsequently unable to do manual labor and his condition was pitiable. However, he bore his affliction with fortitude and was able to move about in his chair. The death of Mr. McBride is mourned by three brothers and four sisters. The brothers are John of Ayrshire and Thomas and Patrick of this city. The sisters are Mrs. George Steil, Mrs. L.W. Goddard and Miss Julia McBride of Emmetsburg and Mrs. Ella Goddard, who lives in Illinois. All were present at the funeral. Mr. McBride was a single man.
Mr. McBride was, in the years of his strength and manhood, an industrious, hard-working young man, and he was frugal, careful and dependable. He was quiet and inoffensive, and he was kind, genial, sociable and dutiful. He was upright in his dealings with those who had business with him and his conduct was morally above reproach. His afflictions in life were far more severe than most people were obliged to bear, but he never became despondent, and he manifested towards those about him a spirit of patience and forbearance. His death will be sincerely mourned by all who knew him. The sorrowing brothers and sisters have the profound sympathy of our many citizens.
