FOR HALF A CENTURY.
James Redmon Was An Engineer
Over Fifty Years.

James A. Redmond, who died Sat
urday night at his residence, 946 West
Eighth street, Cincinnati, Ohio, had a
record Of over fifty years as an en-
gineer previous to his retiring from
active duty last year. He was born
in GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and was of a rail-
road family, five brothers all being
locomotive engineers, and all now de-
ceased but j. t. Redmon of Oskaloosa,
Iowa, who is widely known in rail
road circles, having been the first
superintendent Of transportation of
the Cincinnati Southern. and officially
connected with other railroads for
many years. Joseph H. Redman,
another brother, was for years super
intendent of the Iowa Central and
Texas Pacific railroads and the other
brothers we're we'll known for their
skill and steadfast business qualities.
Mr.. James Redmon was given an en-
CINE on the old Little Miami railroad
when 10 years of age and continued
in the employ of it and other rail-
roads for 80 years. During the war,
61-65, he was assigned to special duty
in the south and served some time in
the Union army. While locomotive
engineer he was in a number of small
but not serious wrecks. In 1880 Mr..
Redmond was appointed an engineer
in the Cincinnati, Ohio, fire depart
ment by his friend, the late CHEZ
Bunker. He was stationed at differ
ent houses during the service and
was voted one of the best engineers
in the department Mr.. Redmond
had been i'll for two months but was
growing better when he contracted
pneumonia, which was the direct
cause of his death. He leaves wild
ow and ten children, seven sons and
three daughters. The funeral servic-
es were held at the Cathedral, Eighth
and Plum streets, funeral at $3.50
o'clock Tuesday, Oct. 10Th, with in
terment in Calvary cemetery. Mem.
he was a member, were the honorary
pail bearers. 1t may be well to men
ton the fact that the deceased, after
service of Is years in the Cincin-
natl fire department, was placed on
the honorary roll and amply pension,
ed for the efficient and loyal services
rendered, and it is also notable
fact that four of these brothers were
in the service of their country during
the trying times of the Rebellion,
the other brother having died previ-
GUS to the war. Three sisters yet
survive, but old Father Time is fast
reaching out and will soon send the
remnants of this family to their re-
ward, and the world will continue to
move around its orbit, and memory
of all will be lost in the hustle and
hustle of this old world, yet the liv-
ing friends will kindly extend their
sympathies to those yet living, and
they will appreciate the thoughtful
kindness.

wise the packer must sell in compe-
