The farm was actually located on the state line. Their home was located on the Iowa side, but the barn and woodpile were both on the Missouri side of the state line.
It was here that tragedy struck the family once again when his mother died on Sept 10, 1856 after being bitten by a rattle snake. She had been out gathering eggs when she reached into a nest above her head to feel around, not knowing a rattle snake was coiled up in the nest. She suffered for four days and during her suffering, gave birth her third child, but the snakes venom had been powerful enough that both his mother and her baby lost their lives. They were buried together in the same grave. His father, being widowed for a third time, was left to raise 3 year old James and his 6 year old sister Rebecca, on his own.
