Rev. James Willington Bluett b. 1839 PA, d. 1891 WA
The Cheney Sentinel, Cheney, Spokane county, Washington, Feb. 20, 1891.
The death of James Willngton Bluett occurred in this city Feb. 15, 1891, aged 52 years and 6 months. Mr. Bluett was born in Pennsylvania, Aug. 19, 1839, in which state he resided until 1852, coming to the Pacific coast in that year. He was converted to the Christian religion and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church at the early age of fourteen years and was admitted to the ministry in the church in 1871. The earlier years of his ministerial labors were spent in California, and in 1882 he came to Washington. The deceased served the Methodist church of this city two years, afterward being stationed at Colfax, North Yakima and Rosalia, returning to Cheney in 1889, his last appointment to effective work. At the session of the conference in 1890, he asked for and received a superannuated relation, but in a few short months he heard the summons,"it is enough, come up higher." Mr. Bluett was a man of more than ordinary pulpit ability, and in his death the church suffers a severe loss. A wife and seven children are left to mourn his death.
The funeral was held from the M. E. church Tuesday morning, after which the remains were conveyed to Spokane Falls for interment.
