Well known Farmer of Milo Township Passes Away (Front page)
James Carrico, a well known farmer of Milo Township, passed away at his home on Friday after an illness of several weeks, during which time everything that medical skill and loving and tender hands could do, was done to prolong his life. All proved to no avail, however, and he passed into that world from which no traveler ever returns.
James Carrico was the son of the late John and Mary Queen Burch Carrico, and was born in Martin County, Indiana, on Sept. 23, 1865, and died at his home June 19, 1925. At the age of 15 years, he came to Illinois with his mother and brother, both of whom are now deceased. After the death of his mother he made his home with his sister, Mrs. H. B. Blaisdell. On Jan. 27, 1886, he was united in marriage to Miss Lydia A. Blaisdell, daughter of the late Horace Blaisdell, and to this union ten children were born. One daughter, Mary, passed away when 18 years old, the other nine surviving.
Mr. Carrico was ever a hard worker, industrious, honest and honorable citizen. He made his living by the sweat of his brow, and while never possessing a great deal of worldly goods, possessed that which every man desires, the respect of his neighbors. For twenty years he was a members of Boyd's Grove M.E. Church, living up to the teachings of his Divine Master in the way he though best. he was at one time Superintendent of the Sunday School of that church.
He was also honored by his fellowmen, being a member of the school trustees for several years. Mr. Carrico was also a member of the M.W.A. He leaves, besides his bereaved wife, nine children as follows: W.R. Carrico, Keitsburg, Ill.; Mrs. H. S.
