James Pickett died last Saturday at his home, four miles east of Alamo, aged 61 years. He was a good citizen and a soldier of the late war. During his illness while friends were laboring with and weeping over him, not a word of complaint was heard to escape his lips, though forced to face Death, but God called him from his home and little ones to a home where there is no more sorrow and pain. Funeral services were conducted by Brother White, of Alamo, after which the body was laid in its final resting place in the Lutheran Cemetery. -s
