Lima Times Democrat, May 31, 1904

James BOLTON was born at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Oct., 27, 1818, and died May
21st, 1904, at the home of his daughter on west Spring street, this city. In
his youth his parents moved to Mercer county, where he grew to manhood, and
was united in marriage to Lucinda THOMPSON, with whom he lived happily for
52 years.
She was not called to her long home until Mar., 27, 1891, leaving husband
and four children to mourn their loss. Mr. BOLTON was a member of the
Methodist church since his early manhood, was an honored member of Allen
lodge, I.O.O.F. for many years. He had been in poor health for a long time,
but he failed very fast during the long winter and took to his bed six weeks
prior to his death. His illness was painless, no disease, but a general
breaking down, failing and he died as he lived, surrounded by his children
whose loving hands were ready to smooth his pillow and comfort him.
The funeral was held at the home of his daughter Mrs. KELLER, on May 23,
1904, at 2:30 p.m., conducted by Rev. AVANN, of Trinity church, and Rev.
MILLS, his former pastor, and greatly beloved by the deceased. Services were
largely attended. All of his children, five grandchildren, three
great-grandchildren were present except W.W. DUTTON and family, of
Schenectady, N.Y. The remains were laid beside his companion in beautiful
Woodlawn.
