him He had been in poor health for sometime prior to removal of a tumor under his right arm on January last After this operation which disclosed the fact that he had tuberculosis the disease seemed to spread rapidly throughout his system and in less than a year sapped his life The best medical at tendance was secured from Saginaw and Detroit but no avail The re moval of the tumor seemed necessary because of its rapid growth and lie would no doubt sooner or later have met the same fate He was conscious up to within a few hours of his death and made his wishes known regarding all funeral arrangements James A Dales was born in York county Ontario Canada January and died in Novem ber 26 The funeral services were held at his late home Wednesday afternoon Rev Nixon officiating and
