From the South Carolina Advocate3/30/1905 DuBOIS----James Thomas DuBois was born in Georgetown county, December 19th, 1830, and died in Marion, SC, October 3d, 1904. November 11, 1856, he was married to Miss Eugenia Potter, of Georgetown, and soon after that date made Marion his home. Brother DuBois was one of the best known and most useful citizens of the community. His unsullied integrity of character commanded the respect and in inspired the confidence of all who knew him. His ideals of duty were high and worthy, and every problem that faced him he sought to solve by the application of fixed and righteous principles, and not by the suggestions of expediency. When in early manhood he gave himself to God, it was an irrevocable and whole-hearted commitment of himself to the doing and suffering of God's will. During the latter years of his life he was rendered almost helpless by disease. His sufferings were at times acute, but his faith triumphed over all trials. A braver, sweeter, gentler, more patient, more cheerful spirit than he maintained in the shadow one seldom sees even in the sunshine. As long as he was able to be out, the town had no more public-spirited citizen, and the church no more faithful servant. He was long a member of our Quarterly Conference, and served in various capacities. His home life was a very happy one. His devotion to wife and children was unusually tender, and when suffering made further ministry to them impossible, nothing could have been more beautiful than their ministry to him. Death came to him very suddenly, but for years preparation had been complete. His wife and children have every consolation that God's goodness and their loved one's faithfulness can bring to them.
