Note	Obiturary of James D. (Jim) Stafford from the Pittsburg Gazette, Friday, June 16, 1933. "EX-SHERIFF of COUNTY DEAD J. D. Stafford passes Away at Home in Pittsburg in the death of Jas. D. Stafford, which occurred late Monday afternoon at his home in this city, following an attack of heart trouble, Pittsburg loses one of its best known and most interesting citizens. Funeral services were held at the family residence Tuesday afternoon, Rev. I. T. Andrews conducting the services. The body was interred in Rose Hill cemetery. "Deceased was born in Henry County Georgia in 1847. He enlisted in the Southern Army when very young and after the war, at the age of 19, moved to Texas, locating at Pittsburg. He was married to Miss Fannie Wilks, who died four years ago. Seven children were born to the union, six daughters and one son. The son, Frank, died several years ago. The daughters are; Mrs. J. H. Page, Dallas, Mrs. Lou Ella Greer and Mrs. A. V. Tapp, Pittsburg, Mrs. H. G. Alexander and Mrs. Andre Calvert, Houston; Mrs. W. O. Burgess Longview, Washington. Twelve grandchildren and six great-grandchildren also survive. Active in the political and official circles of the county the larger part of his life, Mr. Stafford became one of the county's most popular and influential citizens. After serving in the capacity of deputy sheriff for several years, he was elected sheriff in 1884, which postion, by virtue of efficient service, he held for twenty-four years. His administration over this long period of time was such as to bring no reproach to his character, or the county he so zealously represented. Brave always in the discharge of his duties, fair and considerate of those who had to pay the price of law violation, positive and unrelenting when necessary, he won a place in the hearts of his people that called for repeated honors in his official carrer. "Though retiring from official labors in 1904 to devote his time to farming and other interests, he retained interest in all public affairs and never failed to use his influence whenever called upon. "Mr. Stafford as a private citizen was plain and unassuming. He loved his family and friends, his town and county and the great state under whose flag he lived for sixty-six of his eighty-five years."
