SKETCH OF LIFE OF THE LATE JAMES C. ALSPAUGH
James Carris Alspaugh was born July 2, 1894, the third son of Webster E and Mary Miller Alspaugh. "Jim" as he was affectionately called, was a genial, wholehearted
boy. He numbered his friends by his acquaintances. Every one loved him for his sunny, jovial disposition. Those in trouble and sorrow never appealed to jim in vain; he
was ever ready to help those who needed help. If asked to go a mile he would go twain.
When his country called he gave up a good position and went without a murmur. For long months he was in training camp; then came the call to embark to leave home
and friends. He went gladly and for fourteen long months he was "somewhere in France." When the armistice was signed and the fighting was over Jim came back
home. His health was broken, but he never complained.
Seven weeks ago Jim was first stricken and from the first he felt like he would not recover. He said even then he was ready to answer his Father's summons.
For nearly five weeks he lingered between life and death. He put up a brave fight. All that doctors, nurses, devoted parents, brothers and sisters could do was done, but
of no avail. Quietly at 2:45 am Friday, Jan. 19, while his brothers and nurse watched beside him, he breathed his last.
His funeral was held Saturday evening. A short service was held at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Alspaugh, and the funeral proper was held at Mount
Tabor church conducted by Rev. J.S. Hiatt, of Winston-Salem, and Rev. J.H. Vestal, of Lewisville.
The service was very short and simple. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful.
The pall bearers were Jim's boyhood friends, William Oliver, Walter Ryan, George Ryan, James Shutt, Paul Ryan and Joe Transou.
There amid a host of sorrowing relatives and numerous friends, Jim as laid to rest in the Alspaugh burying ground.
Besides his parents he is survived by two brothers, Bernard E. and Fred W. Alspaugh of Atlanta, Ga., and four sisters, Mrs. S.M. James, Germanton; Mrs. R.C.
Bradford, of Charlotte; Miss Nell Alspaugh, of Winston-Salem, and Miss Flora Alspaugh, who resides at the home.
We all feel richer by having known and loved Jim.
