James Oliver Duggins was born in Perry County, Missouri, April 3 1838, and departed this life at Farmington July 18, 1925, being 86 years, three months and fifteen days of age.
His parents came to Perry County from old Virginia in 1820,
His grandfather severed in the Continental army and throughout the Revolutionary war.
Of his father family he is survived by two brothers, William of Perry county present today, and Thomas of Imboden, Arkansas.
On January 18, 1866 he was married to Columbis A. Dickson of Perry county, who survives him. For almost sixth years they have livered together.
Seven children were born in the home, and all are present today to mourn with there mother the departure of a good father whom they tenderly loved. Oliver H. of St Louis, Solan A, and Mrs. Jessie Moore of Farmington, Eve J, Mrs. Nol Garner, and Frederick L, of St. Louis, and Mrs. Myrtle Busch of Eureka, Mo. There are also eight grandchildren, six of whom were present.
When about twenty years of age he united with the Southern Methodist church and soon after this, while alone in the forest, there came to him a wonderful manifestation of the saving grace of God. The world, was transformed and made beautiful by the divine presents.
Through the long life that followed he maintained his grip upon God. Perhaps few men have more uniformly lived with the consciousness of God's presence.
He made diligent use of the means of grace, read the bible though many times, and delight in the services of the church.
While his children were growing up, he observed family prayer, and set before his household an example of winsome, holy living that compiled reverence and affection.
The family posses in the memory of his beloved life, a priceless heritage.
For several months it was evident that his earthly pilgrimage would soon end, but he faces the prospect with perfect confidence, knowing that to "live in Christ and to die is gain."
Five minutes before the beginning of the Sabbath, on the night of the 18th, surrounded by all the family, he peacefully ceased to breath, leaving our hearts swelling with emotion at the though that we were no more to hear his voice in this world nor see his kind face, and yet with profound gratitude to God for the influence of his righteous life.
How blest the righteous when he died, When sinks, a weary soul to rest. How mildly beams the closing eyes, How gently heaves the expiring breast! Life's labor done as sinks the clay. Light from its load the Spirit flies. While heaven and earth combine to sway. How blest the righteous when he died"
