obit:
Rock Springs Miner no. 13 March 28, 1895
Obituary.
It becomes our sad duty to record this week the death of Mr. James Freeman,the respected father of the Freeman brothers. His lamp of life flickered out on Saturday forenoon, after a long life of varied experience and honest
work. He was one of nature's noblemen. Cheerful in disposition and loving as a husband and father he, with his devoted wife, raised a large family to manhood and womanhood.
The deceased was born in the county Antrim, Ireland, and was 73 years old last December.
He was married fifty years ago last June to the wife who now survives him. They celebrated their golden wedding and were two happy hearts with the same love and esteem for each other as when they to each other pledged their
troth over half a century ago. Shortly after their marriage in Ireland, they sought their fortune in Scotland and located near Kilmarnoch, where they spent the greater part of their lives. Over five years ago they wished to be
beside their boys and came to Rock Springs, where they have since resided. The widow is 73 years old, and frail having been somewhat of an invalid for some time. To her, sorrow has come in her old age. The surviving daughters
and sons are: Mrs. Davis S. Muir, of Rock Springs, the oldest of the family; James Freeman, who lives in Ayrshire, Scotland; Mike Freeman, of Rock Springs and county road supervisor; Mrs. Corrigan, a resident of Park City, Utah, formerly of Rock Springs; John Freeman, of Rock Springs, who has been their main support and a true son to his parents and Brice Freeman, the youngest, also of Rock Springs. John is the only unmarried one in the family and he made his home with his father and mother. Mrs. Corrigan came down from Utah and was present at the obsequies. For the aged widow this community has soft words of consolation and extends sympathy to her and her
children.
The funeral, which was largely attended, took place from the Catholic church Monday forenoon at 11 o'clock, the Rev. Father Delahunty officiating. Floral decorations covered the casket. The pall bearers were George Syme, George Shaw, James M. Jamieson, John Simpkins, James Lafferty and Thomas Lafferty.
