James was a dairyman from Kansas and married Pearl in 1909 at Spokane, WA - he died in 1935.  She died in 1968 


Of their children,  there was one boy who died at the age of three but the first name is unknown, his middle name is Vincent and he died in 1913 - wonder if being the oldest his first name was James after his father? Then Truman, Orville, Ethel, Melvin, Ersel, Norma, Alma, Betty and Kenneth.
