Notes:
James left Mo. in 1877, at the age of 17, and headed for Stockton, Ca.,
where he stayed and worked before moving on to the State of Washington.
He arrived in Ellensburg, Kittitas Co., in 1879. He was following three uncles
who had gone west before him; Feliz Grundy Prater, the first Prater to head
west and Moses Jay DPrater, who had followed Felix, and third, Henry Ortho
Prater (called "Bud" & "Long Henry").
James "Jim" Prater lived, raised a family, and died in the eastern part of
the State of Washington. He was a prosperous farmer -- a man loved and
respected by his family and community.
He was the first of the Praters in the western part of our county to become
interested in the Prater genealogy. To him we owe considerable credit, for it
was he who laid the groundwork upon which we have tried to build. Later he
was joined in his efforts by his brother William C. and his son James M.
