Asbby S. JAMES, aged 46 years, died at 5 o'clock yesterday morning at his residence, 1701 Guadalupe Street, after an illness of several weeks. He was a prominent and successful lawyer, a man of strong personality, one who stood by his friends and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was born in Virginia but came to Austin as a boy and attended Texas Military Institute in West Austin, of which his brother was then in charge. After finishing here he attended the law school of the University of Virginia and graduated in the same class with Senator Joseph W. BAILEY. Returning to Texas he practiced law for several years in Colorado City, Mitchell county, and then went to Wichita Falls, where he served several terms very successfully as county attorney of Wichita county. He returned to Austin several years ago and formed a law partnership with E.H. YEISER, devoting his attention largely to land practice. He was an active member of St. David's Episcopal church. While in Wichita Falls he was married to Miss DUNNINGTON of that city, who survives him with two sons, George R. JAMES, aged about 20 years and Asbby Minor JAMES, aged about 18 years. The funeral will be held at 6 o'clock this afternoon from the family residence and will be conducted by the Rev. T.B. LEE. Interment in Oakwood cemetery.
