- Greensburg Indiana newspaper August 8, 1846
Departed this life, at his residence in Clay Township, Decatur County on Tuesday evening, the 4th ins., about 8 o'clock, Mr JAMES SWINNEY, aged 52 years, 10 months and 12 days, after a short illness of intermitting fever.
The deceased was one of our best and most estimable citizens, was a memeber of the regular Baptist Church at Hartsville, sustained an unsullied and unimpeachable character for uprightness and integrity; was charitable to the poor and lived an exemplary life. To sum all up at once, he was the good kind husband, the indulgent father, the honest man, and the good citizen. He has left a disconsolate and much affected widow, a large and interesting family of children, and many other near and dear relatives, who mourn and deplore their loss and bereavement.
