JAMES MALOY   James Maloy was born June 5th 1858, in what is now a part of Stone County, at the time it was a part of Izard Co., Ark.  He grew up to manhood here in our midst, and was well known by every body in the county.  He was untied in marriage to Miss Saline Winston, a daughter of the late S. H. Winston, deceased, and a niece of Judge R. H. Powell, the 12th day of February 1891.  He built a residence in Mountain View, and resided there until his death.  A few days before his death he carried a car load of stock to St. Louis, arriving there on Saturday, January 13, 1894, and was staying over until Monday to sell.  On Sunday evening, 14, at 6 o'clock p. m., he was struck by an Electric Street car, knocked down and run over, breaking both legs and one arm.  The surgeon of the car company amputated his limbs, and doubtless kind treatment was given him, but the the shock was so terrible that he died on Monday 15.  His body was embalmed and sent to his family, and on the 18, was buried at Mountain View cemetery in the presence of his family and relatives.  A large congregation of friends attended his funeral. 

It looks hard to have to give up life whre when manhood at its prime for usefulness, but sure is often the case.  James Maloy was nearing 36 years of age, and was energetic; battling with resumable success at the affairs of this world.  He was the worst enemy he had to himself.  But misfortune, accident, and death, respects no one.  "Man cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; he fleeth alas as a shadow, and continueth not." Such is the life of this world, friends mourn the loss of friends and loved ones, the busy world moves on as if nothing had taken place.  A wiseman said;"Behold thou has made my days as an hand breadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee; __ every man at his vest state is altogether vanity."  The question was asked three thousand years ago "If a man dies shall he live again?"   and over eighteen hundred years ago the answer came, "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall believe."   Here then is the secret success in life, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."  May the family take "Him who speak as never man speak," as their pattern and the consolation found there, ever be theirs is the sincere wish of the writer.  Wm. H. H. Oyler
