James Harrison Poor was born in Jackson County, Indiana, March 27, 1943 (1843), and died at his home in Blockton October 4, 1921, aged 78 years, 6 months and 7 days.

He grew to manhood in Jackson County, Indiana. He was united in marriage to Harriet McKain (McCain) on August 13, 1862. To this union was born 9 children—six boys and three girls—all of whom are living except one daughter, Emma (May), who passed away about ten years ago. His companion preceded him in death in June, 1916.

The deceased was a veteran of the Civil War. With valor and devotion he served his country as a Volunteer in the 120th Indiana Regiment. He came to this vicinity 45 years ago where he raised his family.

He was converted at the age of [18 years] and united with the [rest of sentence unreadable] follower of the Master, until the call came to a final rest. Some three and a half years ago he transferred his church membership to the Blockton M. E. church.

On April 13, 1918, he was again married at Bedford to Mrs. Elizabeth Turnbull, who still survives him.

He leaves to mourn their loss his companion, eight children — Mrs. Lottie (Charlotte) M. Ketch, of Blockton; Jake Poor, of Sheridan, Mo.; Mrs. Jenny Hensley, of Haswell, Colorado; Charley E(dward) Poor, of Blockton; Ben B(issell) Poor, of Maloy, and John, James and Jessie Poor, of Sheridan, Mo.; 17 grand- children, and three sisters and four brothers — Mrs. Sulustus Thompson, of Washington, Indiana; Mrs. Margaret Ewald, of Louisville, Kentucky; Mrs. Frances Burris, of California; Wendel Poor, of Enfield, Illinois; Daniel Poor, of Medora, Indiana; Richard Poor, of Enfield, Illinois, and Ephraim Poor of Wisconsin. His sisters, Mrs. Harriet Zike, Mrs. Martha White and Mrs. Sarah Sutton preceded him in death, the last named on Sept. 16th last.

The late Mr. Poor was a good citizen, a kind father and a devoted husband; loyal to the faith of his church until the call came to cross over to be at home forever.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 conducted by Rev. Baker, pastor of the Redding Methodist church, and interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery.
