WOLFE COUNTY NEWS, Sept. 20, 1946

Judge J.B. Ingram, whom the citizens of this county had honored with 
the Sheriff's office in 1929 and in 1933 was again elected to the office 
of County Judge, died at his home in Campton, September 10, 1946, at 
the age of 57 years, 11 months and 27 days.

During his tenure in office he became the senior partner in the firm of 
Ingram and Murphy, in the merchandise business and led a very 
successful business career and later his firm obtained  the agency for the 
Chevrolet automobiles and trucks, and operated the most modern garage in 
Eastern Kentucky.

The high esteem and respect that the entire citizenry of this town and 
community held for Judge Ingram was clearly manifested on the day of 
his funeral.

Every business house of Campton closed its doors before 2:00 the 
appointed time for the service to begin and the newely erected Baptist church 
hardly accomodated the crowd that attended his funeral.

The Rev. Earl Morris, of VanLear, formerly pastor of the Baptist church 
of Campton, conducted the funeral services with Hearne Funeral Home in 
charge.

The Pallbearers were Omer Catron, M.H. Rose, Chas. Lindon, Corbett 
Pelfrey, Orville Booth and Steve Rose:  Honorary Pallbearers were James 
Swope, M.H. Booth, Jim Bolin, Bruce Rose, J.I. Terrill and J.J. Hughes; 
Flower Girls were Louella Ingram, Reta Lee Rose, Reva Terrill, Joyce 
Bach, Monelle Neely and Juniette Elkins.

Immediately after the funeral the body was laid to rest in the Evans  
Cemetery near Campton.

He leaves to mourn his going, Mrs. J.B. Ingram, his widow, one 
daughter, Mrs. C.W. Murphy of Campton; two brothers, James and Dorcie, of 
Maytown, one foster daughter, Gertrude Williams of Oak Ridge, Tennessee and 
a host of relatives and friends.
