JAMES AARON DUFFEY

James Aaron Duffey
Obituary - James Aaron Duffey was born in Page County, Iowa August 16, 1892.
His father, Kellum P. Duffey, died when he was six weeks old. His mother was married to J.R. Ware in 1895 and with them he always made his home.
In 1909 he came with his parents to St. Clair County, Missouri. He attended the Osceola High School last year and had planned to attend this year. Last spring he went to Danville, Indiana and remained about five months. He came home ill (Typhoid Fever) August 10th but was confined to bed only a week. All that medical aid and loving hands could do was done, but all in vain. With his loved around him realizing the "Death Angel" was hovering over him he prayed to God whom he had tried to serve for the last nine years of his life and he passed to the great beyond with the name of his Savior on his lips.
Through all his suffering, he showed that true Christian Spirit. Not a word of complaint was heard.
He leaves a mother, a stepfather, three stepbrothers and four sisters.
A large concourse of friends followed the remains to the Osceola Cemetery where the funeral was preached by Rev. A.H. Dent after which he was gently laid to rest to await the Resurrection morn.
A loved one from
us has gone
A voice we loved
is still.
A place is vacant
in our home
Which never can
be filled.
