There is a photo of James on his father's FAG memorial. This grave is probably unmarked--it was listed on a survey but did not appear to be transcribed.
As well as having the standard nickname of "Jim," James is also often listed in records and newspaper articles as "J.M."
James' first wife was Arminta Emmaline Henderson, whom he married in Dallas County, Missouri in 1889. They had three surviving children: Julia Ethel (married Robert Holt and Everett Melton), 1890-1980; Tressa Mae (married Morton Garretson), 1894-1961; and Rosa Louella (married Frank Ames), 1898-1939. There may also have been a son, 1892-1894. Arminta died in 1898, presumably in Dallas County, Missouri, but James also moved to the area that became Mayes County, Oklahoma (it was then Indian Territory) in 1898. Assuming Arminta died in Missouri, she is probably buried in one of the cemeteries where James' parents and siblings are buried. (If anyone has definite information, please let me know.)
James, who was a railroad bridgeman (a laborer who works on building bridges ), and later a building foreman for the Katy Railroad, married Iva Claire Hieronymus in Muskogee, Oklahoma in 1902. Iva was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, but her parents were also from Missouri. They had five children: Paul B., 1902-1971; Juanita Pearl (married Laurel Talbert) 1904-1962; Phillip Franklin, 1906-1968; Hortense, about 1910-1912 [information about this child is uncertain]; and Dorise Lorraine (married Walter Claesson), 1913-1988.
James' work took him away from home for long periods of time, but the local newspapers in Pryor, Oklahoma, reported him visiting his family, and later on, his daughters going to visit him in Muskgokee. A few years before James' death, Iva and most of the children moved to California, although they were still married. James spent the last two years of his life in a Katy Railroad hospital in Denison, Texas. A daughter and granddaughter who remained in Oklahoma were reported visiting him there.
