James was the husband of Georgia Emma Matteson, and the son of James H. Feight, Sr. and Ottelia (Tillie) Matilda Daniels Feight.
In his obituary, it said that James and Emma came to Crandon on August 14, 1904, and lived on Range Line for 52 years. Since Lynn was born on August 21, 1904, that meant that Emma was VERY pregnant when they moved. Three months before his death, they moved to the McMillion Apartments in Crandon. He died from a heart condition. His services were held at the Church of God, North Prospect Avenue, Crandon, with the Rev. O.N. Thorton, Laona, officiating. I remember him as a big man with a huge laugh.
This was published in the Forest Republican, Crandon, Wisconsin, in 1954. There is a picture with this but having been copied so many times, it cannot be scanned.
FEIGHTS MARRIED 64 YEARS AGO
Mr. and Mrs. James H. Feight, better known around Crandon (Wisconsin) as "Grandpa and Grandma Feight" have been married 64 years. If all goes well with them, they will celebrate their anniversary of 65 years on January 11, 1955. Fifty of these 64 years, they have spent at the Range Line, 2 ½ miles from Crandon.
The Feights were married at Wonewoc, Wisconsin, in Juneau County. They have raised five children, although they had eight (three died in infancy). They have 22 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, and four great great grandchildren. Both Mr. And Mrs. Feight are 85 years old.
The family tree of Mr. Feight boasts an unusual incident. His parents had two sets of twin girls. Of these, Mrs. Ina Gunther of Crandon, who will be 83, survives. The oldest brother, the oldest sister, the youngest brother, and Mr. Feight all married twins. His oldest sister is 91 years old. She is Mrs. Hattie Marvin of Argonne.
The Feights are the proud owners of an 80-year-old clock that was given to Mr. Feight's parents on their 50th wedding anniversary. Among the many and varied recollections the Feights have is one outstanding one. Where now there are only sparse growths of trees, once was a dense forest on the Range Line. Mr. Feight helped cut the heavy timber with cross-cut saws and hard labor. Oxen and horses were used throughout the area.
Grandpa Feight once made hunting trips, 35 miles north by team in wild and desolate territory. His main occupation has been farming but at the present time, he has only a few chickens to keep him busy.
Each day, summer and winter, in all sorts of weather, Grandpa Feight, gets his car and travels 2 ½ miles into town to get his daily paper, something he wouldn't want to be without. He likes the region he has lived for so many years and says with a grin, "There's lots worse places than Crandon."
According to notes from Jan Luethy, in the marriage listing, it says, "No Pictlor Form" (exactly as written), and witnesses were Mrs. Fanny Feathers and Miss Alice Matteson. The officiant was Amasa Feathers of the Town of Wonewoc. Fanny Feathers was the former Fanny Bemis.
