Funeral Services Held for James Madison Britton
James Madison Britton, son of William Britton and Susan Darby, was born November 10, 1857, near Lily Chapel, Ohio where his father used to preach and died at his home in Guide Rock, on April 23, 1941, at the age of 83 years, 5 months, and 13 days.
When he was but a few months of age his parents moved to Davis county (sic), Iowa and in 1881 they came to Webster county (sic), Nebraska. Mr. Britton spent the remainder of his life in the Eckley and Guide Rock communities, moving to his Guide Rock home in 1928 where he has since resided.
On September 12, 1886, he was received into the membership of the Guide Rock Methodist church by the pastor, Rev. L. Morrison. He lived a good life and believed fully in those things that are right and Christian.
Relatives surviving him are: two brothers, Henry and George, two half brothers: Everett and Frank and a half sister Mrs. Etta Oglevie, besides nieces and nephews.
He had arranged some two years ago with his pastor regarding his funeral service and the text to be used for the service and felt he was ready to go and waited anxiously for the day he could go.
We say with the poet:
"Put out the lights,
he will not need them more;
His work is done,
his feet have gained the fairer purer shore,
Put out the lights! For him the
morning gleams;
The sweetest waking he has known
------today upon him beams.
Put out the lights! For he walks
the heavenly way;
And less than ever yet before he
needs our tears today.
And everlasting glory breaks upon
our friend at last."
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Methodist Church, in charge of, Rev. E.L. Cochran, with internment in the Guide Rock Cemetery.
