JAMES E. WARD

     James E. Ward, who died April 5th, 1933, was buried from Holy Trinity Catholic church, Goldendale, on April 8th, with interment in the local Catholic cemetery. He was born on the ranch of his father, Nicholas Ward, in the Blockhouse section, near the Little Klickitat river, on February 6th, 1892, and, therefore, was in his 41st year. He was one of a family of six boys, all of whom survive and were present at the funeral: Nicholas G., Yreka, California; Thomas F., Portland, Oregon; John C., Puyallup, Washington; Michael J. and Charles D., of Goldendale. His parents preceded him many years ago. Except for a few years in Oregon, James spent his whole life in the Klickitat country, as it has ever been known, working on the home ranch and after his father's death continuing to engage in general farming.
     About ten years ago his health began to fail but his active, ambitious determined nature would not give up until forced to do so by the ravages of the Great White Plague. He fought the good fight with marvelous vitality unto the end and his courage was such that no one suspected until the last few hours that the struggle here upon earth was about over. He endeared himself to all by the sincere courteous manners and integrity that mark the true Christian gentleman and so his departure in what ought to have been the prime of life is all the more deeply regretted.
     Those also present at the funeral from a distance were: Mrs. Anna Henderson, a cousin, of Portland, Oregon, and daughter Alice; Mrs. John C. Ward; Peter H. Ward, a cousin, of Harrah, Yakima Valley.
