James Kane

James Kane, a prominent farmer of northwest of Emmetsburg, passed away
on his farm Tuesday evening of last week. Death came suddenly while he
was assisting with the chores, and is said to have been caused by a heart
attack. Son, Matthew, was a short distance from his father when the latter
slumped to the ground, lifeless. Funeral services were held in St. Thomas
church here Friday morning, with Father McNerney officiating. The pallbearers
were James Mehan, Pete Randa, Harley Frederick, Will Henry, Fred Lorig
and Bert Montgomery. Burial was made in St. John's cemetery here. The Foy
Funeral home was in charge.

The deceased was born in Wisconsin June 10, 1866. Thus he was 71 years
of age at the time of death. He came to Palo Alto county 45 years ago and
engaged in agriculture, and through hard work and thrift became one of
the successful farmers of this locality, winning the respect and confidence
of all with whom he came in contact. Two years ago he suffered a paralytic
stroke from which he never fully recovered. However, in late months he
was able to do light work around the farm, and he was engaged in helping
his son in the barnyard when death came.

He is survived by his widow and the following sons and daughters, Gene,
Mathew and James, Emmetsburg farmers. Margaret of Grinnell, Mrs. J. H.
Cain of Ashville, N.C., Mrs. Leona Carlyle of Des Moines and Mrs. Frank
Campasino of Estherville. To them sincere sympathy is extended in the loss
they have been called upon to bear.
