James Micheal Hiland was born December 12, 1865 at the Hiland Homestead in Buchanan County, 3 miles east of Gower. He never married. He was member of the Mt. Moriah Methodist Church in Buchanan County. He was the oldest son and second child of John and Jane M. Moutrey. He died August 14, 1936 and was buried in the family plot at Frazier Cemetery, Buchanan County, Missouri (AKA Rock House Prairie Cemetery) He lived at the old Hiland Homestead until his death with his sister Mary Catherine and her first husband James Samuel Walkup (father in law to her brother Thomas William Hiland) He was a farmer all his life. He was attending school during the 1880 census. When my grandmother Alma Glorina Hiland wanted to go fishing she would always ask Uncle James, he never said no. Also, Alma was in charge of milking the cows on the north side of the road and James was to milk the ones on the south side of the road, Alma always got done before Uncle James and would go help him finish milking.
