Tague - James Arthur
Source: Waveland Independent newspaper, Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana, May 30, 1946
Throughout his active lifetime Art TAGUE followed farming as a means of livelihood. Those who labored with him say he always carried his share of the load. He was a simple and humble man to those to whom he opened his thought through most of the great problems of life and accepted the high road for his journey. Art died as he lived with malice towards none and charity for all even towards those who had robbed him in his hire. He was honest far beyond the commonly accepted legal demands and would willingly have given his coat to those who demanded his cloak, or have gone with them the second mile. As a friend, he never betrayed a confidence nor accepted kindness unappreciated. In his afflictions he was patient and uncomplaining. When asked of his health he invariably answered, "All right" and we have a feeling that it is still all right with him. James Arthur Tague was born in Madison, Indiana Sept 26, 1873 and died Wednesday afternoon May 22 at Culver Hospital, Crawfordsville of complications.
