James Mirise, an old resident of Roscoe, and for some months past proprietor of a grocery and provision store in that village, died last Saturday after a few hours illness. He was at his store conducting his business on Friday until about 5 o'clock in the evening, when he went to his house and just on arriving there - was taken violently ill. At 2 o'clock the next day he was dead. The ailment was a stomach disorder in the nature of flux. His age was probably 65 years, and nearly all his life was passed in Roscoe. He was a man of correct habits and kindly disposition. Industry and fair dealings with his neighbors characterized his daily life, and it may well be said of him that a worthy citizen and upright man has finished the journey of life and gone to rest. The remains were interred Sunday evening in the Roscoe cemetery.

James Mirise was born in Port Washington on October 8, 1827. His mother died when he was very young and being left without a mother's care he went to live with Samuel Moffatt, a contractor on the Walhonding canal. He proved to be an industrious boy and grew up a worthy young man. At the proper age he went to learn the trade of wagons and plow making with a Mr. Elliot, (brother of Judge Elliot), in Coshocton; was married at the age of twenty-one, October 19, 1848, at the home of the bride's parents, Miss Celestia Baldwin, of Millcreek township, Coshocton county, by the Rev. Mitchell, then pastor of the M. E. Church of Coshocton, of which he was a worthy member. He moved the same fall to the old homestead in Roscoe, where he resided, with the exception of one year in Coshocton and three years in the old homestead of the Baldwins in Mill Creek township. His life was one of great activity. At the time of the war he was superintendent of the Franklin Wagon Works, located in Nashville, Tenn., where a brother of his died (John Mirise). After returning at close of the war he went into the foundry and plow business, at first with H. P. Gregg, later with W. H. King, and still later with Ferrell Bros. As his health failed to some extent he went out of the foundry business, and the last three years of his life he was engaged in grocery and provisions in Roscoe. He was an upright man in all his dealings -- would sooner give than take -- ever ready to help the poor and needy. In politics he was a lifelong Democrat, was the father of three children, he was a loving husband and a kind and indulgent parent.
"Father we shall miss thee, but thy virtues may we follow, so that we may give account at last, when the storms and trials of life are past, to be reunited in a blissful life above."
