James Carlton Belcher went to be with his Lord and Savior and be reunited with the love of his life, Mary, on February 15, 2012, surrounded by his loving children.
He was born on September 25, 1919, in Enterprise, Al to the late Zennie Omar and Martha Victoria Belcher. He married Mary Ida Riley on October 12, 1940. He moved to Auburn in 1941 after accepting a position at The Extension Service. He later became the manager of the Poultry Research Farm at API (Auburn University) in the Poultry Science Department. In 1952, he and his wife established Belcher Farms, a very successful egg production company until his retirement in the early 1990’s. He then devoted himself full time to the beef-cattle and hay business. He and his wife took much joy in caring for their yard, flowers, and garden, sharing the fruits of their labor with their family and friends. He always believed in being a good steward of the blessings God bestowed on him.
Mr. Belcher was a member of Auburn United Methodist Church, and former member of The Civitan Club, The Kiwanas Club, The Elk’s Lodge, and The Alabama Poultry and Egg Association. He served his country in the United States Army from 1944 - 1946. He was on the original Board of Directors at Auburn Federal Savings & Loan.
