James abandoned his first wife in Texas, when their daughter was a toddler. Resurfacing in Oklahoma, he married Sudie Crooks and had four more children. Family lore says he was away from home regularly, working as a wildcatter in the oil business.
Despite no evidence of divorce, he subsequently abandoned Sudie & their four children. Marrying his third wife, Florence (Flossie) Ballard, in Rockwall, Texas, they moved to Kansas City, Missouri. It isn't clear whether they remained together to his death.
James eventually was buried in the Galloway family plot in Oklahoma, with his wife, Sudie Crooks & their daughter, Lola Jurhee.
