James A. Bostian, aged 80 years, died suddenly last Saturday at China Grove, as he was on his way from a point on the east side of the railroad to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ernest Sloop, who lives on the national highway in the southern part of that town. He made his home with Mrs. Sloop. Surviving are several other daughters and a sister. He was the grandfather of Messrs. Ray and Banks Sloop of Salisbury.
The funeral and burial took place at Concordia church, several miles west of China Grove, Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock.
The deceased was a Confederate veteran and was one of the best known men in the China Grove section, and was regarded highly by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
