    He was a farmer and a carpenter.
    He had black hair, dark eyes, dark complextion.
    He lost the sight in one eye during the war.

    According to things his wife told her grandchildren:
    James was a very fine and admirable person most of the time, but he had a
    weakness for liquor, and it brought out an exaggerated bellingerence in him.
    However she said she was a "fighter too", and she was not going to take any of
    his abuse nor let the children be subjected to it, when he was under the
    influence of liquor and when talking things over did no good, she told him she
    had his old army rifle loaded up and the next time he was on a rampage she was
    going to "let him have it". He got to staying away from home when he was "in
    his cups" and finelly drifted away entirely. Martha said she saw him one time
    when she was a girl, on the streets of Bloomington, Ind. and they heard from
    neighbors that he died in the spring of 1872.
    His wife later years were spent in the home of her daughter, Martha (Dillman)
    and later moved with them to Nickerson, Reno Co., Kan.
