The death of Laura B. James, which occurred at her home in the first ward Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock carries away another woman, a sweet character imbudded with a goodness that brought her many friends who held her dear. She was generous to all and the work of charity and kindness by her hands brought sunshine to many homes of sorrow. Each year she set aside a sum for charitable purposes and was a liberal giver to those in want. Mrs. James was a pioneer of Richland, having resided here since 1850, first settling with her parents in Sextonville.
Laura B. Briggs was born in Sauk City in February 1846. and in 1850 came to this county. She married to David. G. James in 1872 and to them were born four children, two of whom. Harold and Beulah, proceeded their mother to the promised land. Mr.s James was an honored member of the W.R.C. and Woman's Suffrage Association, being one of the state vice-presidents of the latter and at a meeting in Janesville was elected a state delegate to the Woman's Club at Portland. She was an officer in the W.R.C. of this city and also president of the local Woman's Club.
Mrs. James was taken ill December 11th and it was found necessary for her to go to Madison for treatment, undergoing an operation. She returned home early in January and a week ago her condition became serious until Tuesday morning when she passed quietly away surrounded by loved ones. She loved her home, a dutiful wife and kind mother.
She leaves a husband and two daughters, Ada and Vida, and a host of friends. The funeral services will be held from her late home Thursday morning at ten o'clock and burial will be made in the city cemetery.
