Please Note: James' date of birth in his obituary, which I have transcribed below, was given as November 8, 1859. The year of birth on his gravestone is 1860. James' obituary also states that he was 75 when he died, and if this age is correct, he would have been born in 1859. For the purposes of this memorial, I am using the year on his gravestone, but I do not know for certain which is correct. I have transcribed the obituary as written.
James married Sarah E. Thatcher on April 29, 1886, in Glenwood, Missouri.
