San Diego Union; February 23, 1871

In this city, February 20th, of consumption, John K. James, aged about 25 years.
Mr. James left his home in Wisconsin upwards of a year ago, and came to 
California in the hope of obtaining relief from the desease which ultimately 
proved fatal. He sprnt some months in the Sacramento Valley, but received no 
benefit there, he came to San Diego in November last. The consumption was, 
however, too deep-seated to yield even to this climate. His death, though 
sudden, was not unexpected to his friends,and their sorrow was alliviated by 
his last moments being free from pain. He was a Free Mason of high degree; and 
the impressive rites of the Order were preformed at the burial.
