He worked on ships (in Sav'h)as a steamfitter/pipefitter. He died at age 42 from bad teeth going septic. James' 1st wife, May (Mae?) died from a cancerous mole on her back. His 2nd wife was named Esten. James & May had 4 children, Celoystene, Norma Grace, Carl & Robert (Bobby). Carl, who had black hair, & Bobby, who had light sandy hair, lived w/us for several years when I was young. They loved to play the guitar & would both play the same guitar at the same time. Sounds silly but one would sit & the other stand behind him and they would really get with it. Carl later played w/ Carl Perkins(of Blue Suede Shoes fame). They bought me a bicycle for my 8th B'day while living w/us. When grown, Bobby would call me periodically before family reunions. He came to at least one & I have a photo of him & my dad together. Bobby lived in the Orlando, Fl. area & worked at Cape Canaveral. I ! think the sisters live in Chilton, AL but I heard that Carl had died. Most of this info came from my mom shortly after you phoned me. I compiled info but lost your number. Glad I got the info when I did, as Mom is now in a nursing home. Hope this helps.
