130. James P. Arthur
Obituary: J. P. Arthur, a respected pioneer citizen of the Orr community, died at the family home Friday, April 26, after a month's illness due to dropsy of the heart. For some time he had been in failing health but was only confined to his bed for the last four weeks.
Funeral services were held at Orr Saturday and were charge of the Masonic Lodge, of which he had been a member for a number of years, with internment at the Rue Bottom cemetery.
Deceased was 74 years of age and had lived at Orr for more than a quarter of a century, standing high as a citizen in honor and integrity, respected by the community, loved and honored by his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife and four children, Hezzie A. and Willie, the two sons; Mrs. Essie Baxter and Mrs. Wallace Lankford, the latter of this city, who, with other relatives and a vast circle of friends mourn the passing this good man.Obituary: J.P. Arthur died at this home in the Union Hill community Friday, April 26, and was nearing his 75th year. He was 74 years, 7 months and 20 days old at the time of his death. Uncle Jim, as he was called by his friends, had been a member of the Masonic order for more than 43 years, his membership remaining at Orr until fire destroyed their building there. The members there and Grady members of that order had charge of the funeral, many of the citizens of Cornish and Ringling witnessing the sad but beautiful ceremony. The remains were laid to rest in Ruebottom cemetery. The departed leaves a wife and four children, two sons and two daughters, to mourn his going. The deceased was an old time settler in this community and to know him was to love him. We join the host of friends in expressing our sympathy for the bereaved family. So passes another of Jefferson county's most beloved and respected citizens.

Indicated that they had been married 22 years, and that Mary had had 6 children, with 5 living. Here you will note that James' age is approximately correct in accordance with the 1860 DeKalb Co., Alabama and the 1880 Wise Co., Texas census. The 1900 census had his birth year ten years younger than what is indicated here. It would seem that this is the more accurate return, and that the 1900 census was an error.1900 Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory Census

The birth date for James P. Arthur is 1860, and this appears to be his mother. According to the census her last name is Arthur. However, the birth year may be incorrect, according to the Kennedy Family bible, it is 1833 and she was born in Tennessee. Both the 1850 and 1860 census' indicate her birth year to be 1833 also, and in Tennessee. The 1880 Wise Co., Texas census indicates her birth year to be 1836, and still Tennessee. So, if this is James' mother, then we must assume that the year of birth is in error as well as James'. Imagine, a woman not giving her correct year of birth.1880 Wise Co., Texas Census:
