Mr. James Lawrence Slosson died at his home in the suburbs of Geneva last Friday evening, Jan. 2d, 1903, aged nearly 68 years. His death leaves Henry L. Slosson the sole male survivor of his father's family, having a married sister living in Colorado Springs. The deceased was a practicing lawyer in New York for many years, but returned to Geneva some ten years ago and this has been his home ever since, residing with his widowed mother until her death, and occupying the Slosson mansion. He was a whole souled, generous man, sympathetic and kind to all, never passing by an appeal for aid. His popularity was shown by his election from the first ward, in our board of aldermen, serving on the law committee. In politics he was a Democrat of the old school, but did not embrace the free silver doctrine. Geneva has lost a good man in J. L. Slosson, and that after a very brief illness.
