Mr. Woodburn was born in Princeton, May 14, 1859, and the entire 61 [sic] years of his life were spent in, or in the vicinity of, this city. James was actually 60 years old. February 8, 1894, he was united in marriage to Josephine Griffin, who survives. Two sisters, Mrs. F.M. Terry and Mary, of this city, and three brothers, Robert, of this city, William, living in the country, and Harry, living three miles southeast of the city, are also left to mourn the loss.
During all his days Mr. Woodburn lived unselfishly and in full measure may be said to have devoted his life to others. His relatives and friends speak of not one but many acts of kindness and thoughtfulness which they recall in cherishing the memory of a noble life.
