James Edward Adair was known as "Jim Hoss". This was because of his total fascination for anything cowboy. As soon as he was able to hold a rope, he would throw a loop on anything or anyone that got close enough. His great love was horses. He would start looking for one as soon as he got outside in the morning and would look until dark, and he would have to quit. When he did find one, he would throw a loop on it, and until he learned how to ride he would be perfectly content just leading it around. He finally learned to get the horse close enough to something he could stand on and climb on the horses back. I'm sure in his mind he was king of the cowboys.
Actually his mind had been affected by an extremely high fever before he was a year old, which also left him with a stiff body that limited his physical activities. He didn't learn to walk until he was four years old. But when he did, you couldn't hold him still for any longer than it took him to eat or use the restroom.
Jim was buried with the rest of the family in the place he had once lived and been so free in.
