Obituary of James "Jim" Alexander Roudebush
Rushville Times, January 1925
James Roudebush
James Roudebush, son of Christopher {Christian} and Margaret
{Martin}, was born in Armstrong county, Penn., February 6, 1845, and
departed this life in Rushville, Ill., January 6, 1925, at the age of
79 years and 11 months.
He came to Illinois with his parents at the age of ten years,
locating on a farm nine miles east of Rushville, spending the remainder
of his life in Schuyler county.
He was united in marriage to Miss Candace Robison October 15,
1871{1870}. To this union were born four children. Rillia, wife
of N. J. Sayers, preceded him in death March 15th, 1911. Those
surviving are Rollo H. of Rushville, Mrs. Nettie Davison of Plymouth
and Delino of Princeton, who with the aged wife, three grandsons, Wm.
C. of Rushville, Harold and Howard of Princeton and one
great-granddaughter, Hildreth, of Rushville, also a host of other
relatives and friends are left to mourn the loss of a faithful husband
and kind and indulgent father, who was highly respected by all his
friends and neighbors.
He was converted and united with the Presbyterian church of
Rushville, April 23, 1916, and remained a consistent member of the same
up to his death.
Uncle Jim, as many came to know him, was a farmer up until the
past twelve years, when he gave up active work and removed to
Rushville, where he was living at the time of his death.
He had always been a strong and active man until about five
years ago, when he met with a fall which kept him in bed for a number
of months, when he again regained his usual health until a little over
three years ago when he was stricken with the illness which at last
proved fatal.
Through all these years of suffering he was patient and ever
looking at the bright side which made his care much easier and he was
ever appreciative of all that was done in his behalf.
His eldest son, R. H. removed to the homestead and cared for his
father the last three years of his illness. While all that gentle
hands and best medical aid was rendered, when the Father of all Good
said, "it is enough, come up higher." He cheerfully answered the
call that comes to us all sooner or later and which surely must be
answered.
Thus ends the life of one of Schuyler's oldest and highest
esteemed citizens, leaving behind him an influence for good upon all
who came in contact socially, neighborly, or in a business way, ever
lending a helping hand to all when ever it was needed. Thus
carrying out by practice the exemplary life as lived by his Savior as
best he could.
He was the last of a family of thirteen children, three having preceded him in the past year.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Ira L. Livingston at the
Presbyterian church, Friday, January 9th. Interment was in the
Rushville cemetery.
Card of thanks: We desire to thank the friends and neighbors who
so kindly assisted us during the illness and death of our beloved
husband and father, also for the floral offerings.
Mrs. James Roudebush and family.

Robert Crafton, 22, Killed In River Accident
Havana - A hot July 4th picnic excursion ended in cold tragedy
for a Pekin family Saturday afternoon in the tepid waters of the
Illinois River offshore of Havana.
Robert Crafton, 22 year old sailor on leave, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Woodrow Crafton, 226 Sapp street, Pekin, died when he was overurn by an
outboard motor boat operated by his father.
The young sailor's body was not recovered for five hours.
Crafton accompanied his parents and brother William to Havana for the outing.
Deep Laceration
Around 1 p.m. (cst) Robert, William and their father were
cruising the river in an outboard boat near midstream off the foot of
Main street when the sailor fell off the bow of the craft. He was
apparently run over by the propeller. When found he had a deep
laceration of the skull around the left ear and of the shoulder.
His father told Mason county coroner, Richard Hurley that he felt the propeller strike his son in the water.
It was reported the sailor was standing in the bow of the craft,
holding on to the painter. A sudden lurch of the boat apparently threw
him into the water. It was reported the boat lurched when hit by
a wave caused by one of two passing barges.
Mr. Crafton said he stopped the boat immediately and dove futiley for his son.
Help was summoned. The emerancy crew of the Havana fire
department, Fire Chief Alger Carpenter in charge, plus volunteer
boatmen, dragged the river for five hours.
The body was recovered at ?:?? p.m. by fisherman Chester Huffman
and two unidentified companions. Caught along the bottom by a
drag line, the body was found an estimated 30 to 73 yards down-stream
of the mishap.
Body At Kuecks
The body was brought to the Kuecks funeral home in Pekin where friends may call.
The young sailor was born in Pekin Dec. 21, 1930, a son of
Woodrow and Edith Neville Crafton. His marriage to Georgina
