Clerk in store. Had 7 children, 6 who survived to adulthood.
Obituary
James N. Ingels was born April 24, 1842 [sic], and died November 11, 1882, after an illness of about eleven days, of softening of the brain.
Mr. Ingels was married to Sarah E. Shields, and with her shared life's joy and sorrow for nearly twenty years, and lived and died within a radius of about one mile from the place of his birth. Rev. A. P. Stewart delivered a very neat and appropriate funeral discourse at the Christian church to a house well filled.
In his death Ripley has lost another one of its most useful and honored citizens. The later years of his life were almost solely devoted in an effort to regain what he had lost in bad business transactions and to make his family comfortable and happy. He justly merited and therefore enjoyed the confidence of his employers in an eminent degree, and we have yet to hear the faintest whisper of a betrayal of his trust, and yet while to err is human, we submit that a generous public will say with us that if neighbor Ingels ever erred at all it was all against himself.
His friends and kindred will no more receive his kind offers and enjoy his hospitable home. His devoted and faithful wife has Iost a partner whose efforts were always to make her lot and pathway bright and pleasant. His interesting group of little children can no more enjoy the counsel and advice of a kind and indulgent father, and yet he has left for them a legacy far better than silver and gold an honored name. He can stand before the Judge of the quick and dead on the great day of final accounts with pure conscience and with clean hands. His estimable family have the sympathy of the entire community in their great bereavement.
