James Hall McKaig, son of •. R. and Margaret (Cox) McKaig, was born April 3, 1876, in Ottumwa, Iowa; departed this life Sept. 13, 1957 at the age of 81 years. Bro. McKaig married Blanche R. Griffith, Nov. 22, 1904 and they moved to California in 1917. A daughter, Vera Louise Binns preceded him in death in 1949. Bro. McKaig leaves to mourn his 'passing his wife and two sons, James R. and John Allan McKaig as well as a host of friends and Christians whose lives were made richer for having known him. He has been a member of the church of Christ for many years, teaching God's word and encouraging others to do likewise. He taught love and unity and always discouraged division and strife, even when differences of opinion arose. The last few years he has worked with the small congregation at Carlsbad, Calif. The family asked me to speak and conduct the last services and I tried to speak words of warning to the unsaved and words of comfort to all. Seven faithful congregations of the Church were represented by floral
offerings and many came from all over southern California to the funeral services. Bro. McKaig will be missed but the memory of his love and labor for the cause of Christ will continue to encourage us to ever keep the unity of the Spirit and the Love of God.
