He had been suffering some time from acute bladder and kidney trouble, an operation being preformed at his home some weeks ago. On last Sunday, he was taken to the hospital with the hope that another operation might prolong his life, but it was decided that his case was beyond treatment. He came from Tuscarawas county, Ohio, with his parents, John and Elizabeth Kale, in 1854 when he was ten years of age. He enlisted in the 39th Iowa volunteers in 1862 and rendered valiant service in the War of the Rebellion. He was captured as a prisoner of war and after being exchanged, went back to his company and served until the close of the war. He was married to Miss Rue Evelyn King, who was also a member of a family of Scott township pioneers. Mrs. Kale died July 26, 1914, survived by the husband and six children. Mr. Kale is also survived by five sisters and two brothers. The death of James Kale marks the passing of a good man and a good citizen, who will be sadly missed, not only by those of kindred ties, but by the people of the Elm Grove neighborhood, where he was universally loved and respected.
