    James Wade
    James Wade passed away at 5 a.m. last Monday, after being in very poor health for the past two years. Death was due to heart trouble with rheumatism and dropsy as contributing causes. Mr. Wade had spent much of the time since he began to fail in health, under the hands of specialists and at various sanitariums, but without receiving little more than temporary benefit. After spending a restful night Sunday night he passed quietly away without regaining consciousness.
    Mr. Wade was born March 25, 1854, in Texas, and was 64 years, 1 month and 18 days old. Much of his early life was spent in Oklahoma, where he served many years as a United State marshal. He was united in marriage to Lucinda Thurber at the Sacred Heart Mission, Okla., April 22, 1884. To this union six children were born, two of them passing away in infancy. Since coming to Kansas and locating at Rossville the family has continued to make their home here, with the exception of brief periods in other neighboring communities.
    Mr. Wade had served as City marshal and night watch at various times in Rossville and was considered one of the best peace officers the city has had.
    The funeral was held at 10 a.m. today, from the Catholic church and interment made in Rossville cemetery. The surviving members of his family are the widow, and four daughters, Mrs. Bertha Weatherholt, of Madill, Iowa; Mrs. Jessie Whitlow, of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Bessie Good Eagle, of Baxter Springs, Kan., and Mrs. Grace Dansenburg, of Galena, Kan. Of his parents family only one member remains, his brother, William Wade, at present employed at Green River, Wyo.
