It reads in full: Hon. James Focht Dead. The death of Hon. James Focht, of Pottsville, occurred Saturday night, at the age of 77 years. Some time ago he contracted a cold which proved fatal. The deceased was ex-Associate Judge of this county and is well and favorably known. He leaves a widow and five children. David, a retired merchant of Mahanoy City; Clara; Charles, a civil engineer; Mattie and Henry. His funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Didn't find the other obit of 1913 though. Hope this helps some. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
