Ida May Blades James Franklin Blades James E. Blades James E. Blades, one of the city's venerable and highly respected citizens, died last Saturday morning at his home on West Shelby Street, after an extended illness. Mr. Blades was born October 22, 1841, hence was 78 years old. The place of his birth was near Willow, in Bracken county. He was the son of Mr. & Mrs. Jehu Blades, and his mother died when he was but two weeks old. Mr. Blades' father later removed to Iowa, and the son was adopted and reared to young manhood by his uncle and aunt, Mr. & Mrs. William Regan. When 16 years old, Mr. Blades left the home of his foster parents, and went to Leon, Iowa, making his home for several years with his brother-in-law Mr. & Mrs. John Brown, father of Carlos Brown, of this city. After two years stay in Iowa, Mr. Blades returned to Kentucky and located near Kelat where he taught school for a number of years. Mr. Blades was married to Miss Cynthia Jane Cummins of Harrison Co. They then located on a farm near Neave, Bracken County, where Mr. Blades engaged in extensively in tobacco growing and stock raising. About the year 1876 he bought a farm near Anticoh Mills where he remained for two years, and in 1878 he moved to this city and engaged in the grocery business, in partnership with J. U. Ruggles in the building now occupied by Sol Goldberg's shoe store. The grocery business was very successful and in a few years Mr. Blades entered the local tobacco trade, and for thirty years was an extensive handler of leaf tobacco.. So keen was his business judgement that he is probably the only tobacco dealer that ever went through the trying days without financial reverses. Mr. Blades wife died November 30, 1904. He united in marriage to Miss Lena McKenney, of this city, in December 1905 and to this union two children were born, Ida May and James Franklin who with his wife survive. Mr. Blades was the youngest of four children. The other children were Jefferson, John W. and Sarah Blades all of whom have long since passed away. Carlos Brown of this city is Mr. Blades closest relative outside the immediate family. Mr. Brown is the son of Mr. Blades only sister, Sarah E. Blades-Brown. During Mr. Blades forty-five years residence in Falmouth, he has been one of the leading business spirits of the city. He served as director and President of the Pendleton Bank for many years. He was a life-long member of the Baptist Church and a member of the Orion Lodge Nol. 222, F & A. M. and also took an active interest in the affairs of h church and lodge. By good business judgement and frugal habits, Mr. Blades accumulated a big fortune, and at the time of his death was probably the wealthiest man in Pendleton Co. His remarkable success demonstrates the fact that it doesn't matter so much what a man makes but what he saves. When a yound man he worked on a farm in Kansas for 20 cents a day and made it a rule to save a certain portion of his wages. This habit he continued through his life. The funeral services were held from the Baptist Church Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. R. H. Toll assisted by Rev. O. J. Steger and Rev. C. P. Pilow. He was buried in Riverside Cemetery with Masonic honors. Falmouth Outlook Volume 13 Number 46 23 Apr 1920 Pg. 1 Col. 2 Riley, Mrs. Rose d. 12 Apr 1920 bur.
