James, Addison D.

Sad death of Dr. A.D. James.
Passed away at his home after lingering illness.

Central City, Ky., June 7 - Dr. A. D. James, aged 60 years, former Congressman from the Third district and United States Marshal at Louisville, after a long illness, during which he suffered excruciating pain, died tonight at 9:30 o'clock at Penrod, his country home. The end was very peaceful, Dr. James passing away in his sleep. For many months the well-known patient had been in declining health, suffering from maladies for which he could find no relief.

About six weeks ago he was confined to his bed, and though he was a very sick man, his friends hoped for recovery until abou a week ago, when the physicians in attendance announced that there was no hope. For the past several days his death had been momentarily expected, he being conscious only at intervals.

Dr. James was one of the most prominent ment of Muhlenberg county. He was United States Marshal for two terms and Congressman for two terms. Of late years he had been a coal operator. He was one of the best known Republican politicians in Kentucky and wielded a wide influence in party affairs.

Dr. James was twice married, his wives being sisters, the two Misses Penrod, of Penrod. He leaves a wife and seven children, the four children of the last marriage being quite young. He also leaves a sister and a brother, the Rev. John H. James.

Dr. James Passes Away.

Dr. A. D. James, for years one of the most prominent Republican politicians in Kentucky, died at his home in Muhlenberg county on Tuesday night. He suffered from a complication of diseases and had been ill six weeks. Dr. James is mourned by many Democratic as well as by Republican friends. Fifteen years ago he came into State-wide prominence as a Republican organizer, when Col. William O. Bradley was a candidate for Governor. Knowing ones believe that the work of Dr. James had much to do with his election as Governor. Later the worth of Dr. James was recognized when he was appointed United States Marshal for the Western district of Kentucky. Still later he was elected to Congress from the Third district of Kentucky. His wife and seven children survive him.
