He rarely spoke ill of anyone and was charitable and upright in his judgment

A very large concourse of people followed his remains to Osmond’s new cemetery,
there to remain until the resurrection morning. The bereaved family
have the sympathy of all the citizens. They mourn not as those who have
no hope.

James V. McDonald at Rest
James Van Buren McDonald, on old and highly respected citizen of this
community, passed away at his home in the west part of the city last Thursday
evening at 11 o'clock. His final sickness dates back about four months and he
gradually grew weaker, suffering much at times, though his final hours were
painless and he passed away calmly and peacefully, surrounded by all his
family, except one son, Charles, living in California, who was unable to be
present. Prior to his death Mr. McDonald expressed himself ready to go and
assured his pastor that he was at peace with God and man. In his last hours,
watchers at his bedside heard him speak faintly of marching hosts, songs and
the voice of "mother" and who but knows that in the last moments of
dissolution, just before the spirit of this Godly patriarch left its tenement
of clay and wings its flight to the glory of the new Jerusalem, the vail was lifted by angel hands and his eyes were permitted
to see the militant legions of saints of the other world and his ears listened
to the anthems of the "choir invisible" and "mother's"
voice came clear and sweet across the valley of the shadow of death in glad and
welcome recognition.
Mr. McDonald was a man whose life was an open book; who whose integrity was
unquestioned; one who was honorable in his dealings with his fellow man; a
man-generous, kind hearted and universally respected and loved. As his pastor
said in the last sad funeral rites, he was a good man-a Godly man-and what can
be said more as a tribute to man. His was a wonderful life-passing the allotted
time of
Deceased was born in Smyth county, Virginia,
Mr. McDonald served in the Confederate army during the Civil War as first lieutenant
and regimental quartermaster under General Flood and General Derrick. He also
had two brothers, Frank and William, former residents of Pierce, who served in
the army as Captains.
Mr. McDonald resided in Virginia until 1882, when he moved to Nebraska, first
locating at Pilger and two years later coming to
Pierce, where he resided continuously up to the time of his death. He was a
carpenter by trade and worked at his profession until a few years ago when his
age compelled him to retire from active life. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald celebrated
their gold wedding anniversary in Pierce on
Funeral services were held at the M.E. church, of which he was a member, last
Friday afternoon, being conducted by the pastor, Rev. C.O. Trump. The services
were attended by a large concourse of relatives, neighbors and friends and the
floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Interment was made in Prospect
View cemetery south of town.
