James Nevill, for the past seventy three years a pioneer resident of this vicinity, passed away at the home of his son, Ivan, in Sheridan township, at 9;15 o’clock Monday evening, following a two months illness.

He was united in Marriage to Mary E.

He served the community as township highway commissioner and school officer for a number of terms and was affiliated with the Grangers, Maccabees and other organizations until in his declining years.
He was a kind and loving husband, father and grandfather and was very fond of children, often taking the youngsters about town with him on his wagon as he was doing his work.
