"James H. Flemming, real-estate dealer, surveyor and civil engineer, of Little Rock, is a native of Shelby County, Ill., and a son of Peter and Anna (Owens) Flemming, natives of Ohio and Tennessee, respectively. Mr. Flemming [Peter] went to Illinois in 1829, and engaged in farming. He helped locate the county seat at Shelbyville, and was subsequently elected sheriff, serving in the capacity for eighteen years, after which he was elected county judge, and then judge of the criminal court, thus continuing for twenty-four years. In all, he held offices of public trust and confidence for forty-two years. He died while in the latter position, and when returning home after a day's session, being stricken with heart disease and dying without a struggle. Mr. and Mrs. Flemming were the parents of eleven children, eight of whom are living, and two of whom are residents of this state: James H. (our subject) and Mary (wife of S. G. Oller, a resident of Saline County). Mrs. Flemming [Anna] died about 1857, at the age of forty-one"
