Carthage, Jefferson Co, NY printed in The Carthage Republican, Thursday, April 21, 1921 TRIBUTE TO JAMES McDONALD Funeral Largely Attended - Floral Offerings Cover Casket - Death Due to Accident - No Evidence of Foul Play The funeral of James McDONALD, whose death occurred last Wednesday as the result of wounds sustained in a fall at the Champion Paper mill, was held Saturday morning from St. James church. The funeral was largely attended by surviving relatives and friends and by more than one hundred members of Carthage Council, K. of C. who attended in a body. The casket, bearing the remains, was literally covered with beautiful floral offerings as a tribute of love and high esteem in which the deceased was held by all who knew him. Interment was made in St. James cemetery. No evidence developed either before or since the autopsy to show that Mr. McDONALD had been a victim of foul play. He was a man highly respected and well liked by all who knew him. Although the exact cause of the accident in which he sustained serious scalp wounds has not been determined it is firmly believed that Mr. McDONALD either fainted or suffered a slight shock which caused him to fall heavily to the cement floor or to strike his head against some projective.
