J. M. Stafford (affectionately known to every acquaintance since his early boyhood as "Jap") died at his home early this morning. "Jap" Stafford was taken ill, several weeks ago, with pneumonia and was confined to his bed for several days before his friends even knew that he was absent from his accustomed chair in the Stafford & Dennis barber shop.... None could realize that the life of the robust barber was in jeopardy.
