  Obituary- Cottle, James Octogenarian Passes Away The following account is from the West Liberty, Ky. Paper and concerns the brother of Frank Cottle and Mrs. Perry Davis and a relative of others in this vicinity: James M. Cottle, died suddenly at his home on the river about four miles east of town at 7:30 o’clock Monday morning the 12th. He had been in better health than usual the past winter and spent Saturday night at the home of his son D. N. about a mile and a half away, leaving there alone late Sunday afternoon. He went to the barn to feed his stock Monday morning, took slightly sick and returned to the house without completing his work. He sat down and rested for a few minutes and then went to the table to eat his breakfast. Shortly after sitting down at the table some member of the family noticed that he was about to fall from his chair. They started to lay him on the bed but he expired before they could lay him down. He never spoke after he was stricken at the table. “Uncle” Jim, as he was familiarly known was born in the county Oct 11, 1834, and had resided all his life in the same neighborhood where he first saw the light. He was one of Morgan county’s best and most highly respected citizens. He was looked upon as a leader in the thought and action in the community in which he lived and was often called upon to act as arbiter when differences would arise between his neighbors. He was a very successful farmer and at one time was one of the largest land holders in the county, but he had divided all his lands among his children. In the demise of Uncle Jim Cottle the country loses another of the old guard whose ranks are fast thinning and whose places can never again be filled. Interment took place in the family grave yard Wednesday. He is survived by three brothers John L. Cottle, of Forest, Frank Cottle, of Rossville, Kas., and Isaac Cottle, of Lexington; one sister Mrs. Perry Davis, of Rossville, Kas.; four sons. . J.L., W. T., D. N., and J. E. Cottle, all of the neighborhood; two daughters, Mrs. T.H. Johnston, of Forest, and Mrs. Eugene Sartin of Oklahoma City, Okla.
