With the passing of James Rourick, another one of those sturdy pioneers fades from the local scene. He came to this County in a covered wagon and faced all of the hardships which the cover wagon typifies faced them and, like those hundreds of others of his generation conquered them and built the country which our generation loves and enjoys. One by one these pioneers are passing down the long road to that undiscovered country, while a generation grateful for the work they did, honors them and mourns their passing.
