  	Obituary
  	The following is a transciption of that obituary: James Edward Stout was born on July 27, 1876, on a farm in Johnson County. In 1899 he was married to Flora Elmore and to this union were born four children, one of whom died in infancy. Surviving are his wife, Flora and daughter, Pearl at home and Mrs. Fred Sharpe all of Baldwin, Kans; one son, Hugh of East St. Louis, Ill., and one sister, Mrs. Wendell Johns of Vienna. There are also three grandchildren, Mrs. Joe Simunac and Jim Sharpe of Baldwin, and Hugh Stout, Jr., of East St. Louis. There are also nine great grandchildren. As a young man, Mr. Stout began work with the Illinois Central Railroad as a switchman. When he retired in November, 1941, after serving 37 years, he was a conductor on that road. His work and his family were his entire life; always loyal to his duties at work and mindful of his obligations to his family. Perhaps one of his outstanding virtues was his generosity. Nothing his family wanted or needed which he could provide was ever denied. To him a friend was just that and he showed his friendship by his willingness to help anyone who needed his assistance. His membership in the Masonic Lodge was a bright spot throughout his entire life. He believed in and practiced its high teachings. While Mr. Stout belonged to no organized church, he was always willing and glad to speak of his faith in a all-wise and benevolent God. He often expressed this faith by saying, "if you believe in God, He will always see your through." This belief he kept to the end. Nearly two years ago, while at his home in Baldwin, he was stricken with paralysis. He bore this affliction with great fortitude. But late on Saturday night of June 26, in the Lawrence Memorial Hospital, he was released from all his earthly cares and launched out upon that journey about which he was unafraid. His body will rest in the beautiful Oak Cemetary in Baldwin, Kansas.
