BY PRISCILLA MILLER QSpecial to the Rock Bridge Tribunej Tompkinsville, Kentucky. January 26, 1954. Jim Nasium passed away at his home here in Tompkinsville today at the age of 26 from heartburn. He was born on April 19, 1928, at Tompkinsville and had lived here his entire life, ' He was a faithful member of the Tompkinsville High School campus set and was at every home basketball game for the entire 26 years. He stood by the boys through thick and thin, through trials and tribulations, through wins and losses, but the poor old fellow didn't get to go to any of the games away from home, Tho only 26 years old, Jim was very feeble at the time of his death, but he was still very much interested in basketball. Every day the whole high school and grades looked upon him with great admiration for his endurance, Some people talked pretty bad about the old fellow, and after he had passed on everyone at the Tompkinsville Academy and people all over town felt very bad, but I know the old fellow is at rest. There were many who saw him die but few who actually mourned. Mr. Swann and his class were seen viewing the remains the following morning. Mr. Nasium was cremated which was considered a good thing by many people who noted that he had had a bad smell during most of his life even when alive. Pallbearers were: Willis Rich, Darrell Carter, Randall Grider, Billy McClendon, Reid Williams, and John Marrs. As dusk softly fell over the scene, Mack McCreary was heard playing taps on his bugle from his front porch as the remaining mourners stood with bowed heads. Mr. Nasium was at rest at last! +-X
