| Text | #1. James A. Pease for many years a resident of Washburn passed from time to eternity on Jan. 20, following a brief illness, age 76 years, 11 months and 20 days. James A. Pease, was born in Winsted, Conn., and there grew to early manhood. When the call to arms came during our civil strife he enlisted in Co. E. 7th Conn. Infantry and served until Sept. 12, 1864 when he was discharged. He followed the stars and stripes from Manassas to Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, also the blood trail through the seven days fight in the wilderness and to the final Appomattox and then proudly marched through Washington. He went west to Nebraska with his parents who located on a homestead near Beatrice, Neb., in 1868. He was married on March 1, 1876, to Nettie Fetrow. To this union were born three children, Miss Stella at home, Mrs. J. H. Mooney of Washburn and Mrs. Ernest Lund of Cedar, Kan., who with the widow survive him. He is also survived by one brother, Geo. L. Pease, of Beatrice, Neb., and eight grandchildren. He left Nebraska in 1895 and moved to Springfield, Mo., where he remained a short time. From there he went to Washburn where he resided until death. He united with the Methodist church thirty years ago and had lived a consistent Christian life, loved and honored by his family and beloved by those who knew him, and his loyalty to his Master is a healing balm to his family that he has gone to his home above. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. T. Hutchison, assisted by Rev. Bowers, of the M. E. Church and Interment made in the Washburn cemetery. # 2.
