Douglas County Sentinel, June 13, 1919
Saturday morning the death angel again visited Douglasville to claim the life of Mr. Z. James, one of Douglas County's oldest and best citizens. Mr. James was in his 80th year and had been in feeble health for several months and his death been expected for several days.
He was a quiet, unassuming man who commanded the respect and confidence of those who knew him, and having lived in Douglas County all his life, had a large circle of friends who grieve his departure.
Mr. James was a Confederate veteran and had been a consistent member of the Methodist Church for more than 30 years.
His widow and five children, four sons and one daughter, survive him. They are Mrs. H.L. Huey, J.E. and J.W. James of Douglas County, T.L. James of Birmingham, and G.C. James of Savannah, all of whom were present at his death.
The funeral services were conducted Monday by the Rev. G.P. Braswell and Rev. A. Ernest, and his remains were interred in the family burying ground near his old home in Chestnut Log District.
A host of friends join the Sentinel in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
