Obit - Mr. B. James.
On the very day upon which he rounded out his 83rd year, Mr. Benjamin James of Ramsay passed away, on Wednesday afternoon, he having been born and having spent his whole long life on the same farm. About sixty years ago he and his life partner, Ellen Bowland, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, but three years later she was called away, and her aged husband completed his life journey alone. His son, Mr. Thos. E. James, is on the homestead farm, and with him his father has had his home since his years of activity ceased. To Mr, and Mrs. James a family of nine, children were born, all of whom are still living but William and Nathaniel, both of whom died in the west. Those living are Mrs. Wm. Robertson in Bathgate, N.D. ; Benjamin, Dr. H.J. and E.H., of St. Thomas, Dak.; John R., Thos. E. and Alf. in Ramsay. The funeral will take place an Friday at 2 o'clock to St.. George's church and cemetery. The late Mr. James was a man of quiet and unostentatious habits, but like, many more of the hardy pioneers of the country, he was of that sterling stuff that matured amidst the hardships and discouragements of the early years, and could always be relied upon in any time of stress. He was a consistent member of St. George's church, the ministrations of which meant much to him.
