Young Jim C. Windham was killed after being throw from his horse. He and his older brother, John, were helping their father pen some horses. The horses, ridden by the two brothers, ran together and both horses and riders were thrown to the ground. Jim died instantly from a broken neck. He was 15. After that, his father sold many of his horses, effectively giving up the horse business.

The "Calvin" in his name is probably for his Uncle Calvin who died in May 1901.
