James V. Latham: a Texas Ranger
By Clarinda L. Latham, Alamogordo, New Mexico

About 1927, Jim left here and went to Imperial, California, where he was made guard for machinery for a big ditch company. He lived there until a few months ago when he and his wife went to San Diego where they remained until his home-going November 17, 1936.
Jim loved New Mexico with its rugged mountains and wonderful sunshine. He wanted his remains brought back here so he could be buried at the foot of the Sacramento's by his parents and sister, Mrs. Ed Hardin. His wife granted the request and brought the remains here where the funeral was conducted by our Baptist minister, Rev. Earl R. Keating and Rev. J. M. Perry, pastor of the Methodist church. Rev. Keating read from the ninety-first Psalm and commented on the fifth verse, "and we old Texans know how
the arrows did fly by the hands of the Indians in those pioneer days, and God in his mercy took care of us."
A pathetic scene occurred at the grave. His wife had the casket opened so the New Mexico sunshine could bathe his face one more time while Rev. Perry prayed. We know that when the sun was shining in his dear old face, the sunshine of God's glory was in his soul, while he was rejoicing with all the redeemed of this earth around our Father's throne in Heaven. He was like the Apostle Paul, who said, "I have fought a good fight, and I have finished my course. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness." And we believe that he will hear the great plaudit, "Well done thou faithful one, enter in for your work is done."
