JAMES GARFIELD QUERRY
Owen County Democrat, Spencer, Indiana, June 22, 1926
Submitted by Mike Rastatter
James Garfield Querry, son of Solomon and Mary Querry, was born in Owen County, April 12, 1880 and departed this life June 4, 1926 at the age of 46 years, I month and 24 days. He was united in Marriage to Minnie Christenberry, December 15, 1901. To this union were born six children, Lenna, who preceded her father in death and five living; Ora 23, Arthur 21, Nina 17, Harlin 11 and Beulah 10.
Mr. Querry lived all his life in Owen County. The most of his life was spent in sin, thinking little about God and salvation until three weeks before his death. Since his last illness the Lord had talked to him about where he was going to spend "Eternity" until he said that he was just starved for God and wanted to know that he was right with his fellowmen and also the Lord. On the 22nd day of May, after praying and confessing all night, the Lord broke in upon his soul and spoke peace and washed his sins away, giving him assurance that he was ready for heaven. He left the testimony behind that his only regret was that he did not start earlier that his life might have told for God and proven to the world there is power in the Blood of Jesus. He said that the last few weeks of his life had been the happiest that he had ever known because of the presence of the Jesus.
Besides widow and children he leaves to mourn his absence three brothers, William, Dora, and Charles Querry; four sisters, Mrs. Maggie Haltom, Mrs. Matt Randles, Mrs. Anna Haltom, Mrs. Dell James and a host of relatives and friends. Burial was at Garrard Chapel, the Rev. Harold Small, pastor of the Church of the Nazarene officiating.
