Rev. James Stockton.
Mr Stockton was one of the early
settlers of this county,
immigrating here in the spring
of 1853. He was in his
68th year, and was a faithful
minister of the gospel
in the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church
fifty-one years -- preaching
the glad news of salvation
from Tennessee, his native State,
to Iowa.
For integrity he had few equals,
continually striving
for higher attainments in the
Christian life thus adding
his testimony to the last that..(a
verse couldn't see to read).
And as he died in full faith
of that glorious gospel he had
so long preached thus evincing
to the world that..
"Tis relgion can supply,
Solid comfort when we die."
