After
a siege of sickness lasting in all five years, the weary spirit of James
P.[inney] Singleton took
its flight to the land of rest to which he has been looking and for
which rest he has been longing, at 12:15 p. m., April 9, 1909, being
at the time of death 45 years, 2 months and 24 days old. He was born in Johnson County, Iowa, near Iowa City, January
15, 1864. He was the son
of John T. [homas] and Caroline L. [ouise Pinney] Singleton, the former passing away in 1880, and the latter
on June 2, 1906.
He
was married to Miss Edna E. DeForest, at Iowa City, October 7, 1896, who survives him and deeply mourns
his loss. To this union
four children were born: one died in infancy and three, two boys and
one girl, ranging in ages from 6 to 12 years, remain to mourn the loss
of a kind, indulgent father. In
addition to the above loved ones he leaves four brothers and eight sisters,
two only of whom were present at the end of his life, Mrs. Scott
Alcorn [Bessie], of this city, and Mr. Clay Singleton.
The
deceased united with the Christian church when 28 years old and continued
in the faith and died in the triumph of living faith in Christ.
As
the end drew near he nestled closely to the Rock of Gibraltar, amply
able to hide us in time of storm.
His
health began failing some five years ago and for three years he has
been unable to carry on any business and the greater part of the time
confined to his bed. He
was a traveling salesman while in health and stood high in the commercial
world. He was noted for honesty, a keen intellect
and a well-balanced judgment. He was a member of the I. O. O. F. and M. W. A., in which latter
he carried insurance. The
former lodge attended the funeral in a body and escorted the remains
to the train.
The funeral was
conducted at the home at 7:30 Saturday evening, by Elder Geo. A. Hendrickson
assisted by Rev. W. M. Dudley. The brother, Clay, accompanied the family and the remains to West
Liberty, where they laid them beside the body of his mother.

His Suffering Ended
James
P. [inney] Singleton was born
Jan. 15, 1864 in Johnson Co., Iowa, near Iowa City, passed away from earth life
to the life beyond April 9, 1909 at the age of 45 years, 2 months and 24
days. He was the son of John T.
[homas] and Caroline [Pinney]
Singleton, the former passing way
in 1880 and the latter June 2, 1906.
He
was married to Edna E. DeForest at Iowa City October 7th, 1896. To this union were born four children; one died in infancy
and three, ranging from 6 to 12 years old, two boys and one girl, remain to
mourn the loss of their father. It
was his desire that he might live to help rear the children to a useful manhood
and womanhood, but God decreed otherwise and to his will James Singleton was ever obedient. In addition to the wife and three children he leaves four
brothers and eight sisters to mourn for him. Clay Singleton,
the only brother here, is a successful farmer near Bedford and Mrs. Alcorn
[Bessie], the wife of Scott
Alcorn, in Bedford.
The
deceased united with the Christian church in Bedford when 28 years old and
continued to the end a faithful member, consistent in life and upright in
character. His last days were days
of the closest fellowship with Christ. He took delight and comfort in prayer and in the things that go to sooth
the dying pillow.
The
greater part of his life was spent at West Liberty but for quite a part of that
time he lived in Bedford and was well and favorably known here. For the past three years he had been
here among his relatives that they might make his last days happy and I am sure
they did. No hands were ever more
willing to do for him than the hands of his wife and brother and sister. He seemed to want them always near him
towards the closing of the day to him. For many years he held responsible positions in the commercial world and
only relinquished his position when his health would no longer permit him to do
the work. The sickness which
terminated in his death began some five years ago but he continued to do
business until three years ago, since which time he was confined to the house
and the greater part of the time to his bed.
He
was a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge and was remembered by this body of men
during his sickness and death. He
was also a member in good standing of the Modern Woodmen of America in which
order he carried insurance. The funeral
was held at the home Saturday evening at 7:30, after which the body was taken
to West Liberty where by his request, his body was laid by the mother. The service here was by Geo. A.
Hendrickson assisted by Rev. Dudley and a quartette of singers. Many beautiful floral offerings were on
the casket, as tokens of respect for the deceased.
The
subject of this sketch was a man of more than ordinary caliber
intellectually. He was possessed
of giant mind, a retentive memory and tender heart. His heart was responsive to the best that there is in the
world. His conscience was right
because truth was his master and when truth leads we are right in
conscience. He was a good husband,
a loving father and a friend in whom there was no guile. As a brother he was everything that a
brother could be. As a citizen he
was loyal and law-abiding. A good
man has gone.
