Notes |
- According to his son Frank, James grew up on a farm in Centerville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, which was across the river from New Florence. Centerville was destroyed in the 1936 flood. The power plant is located where the Ashcom farm was located. James worked as a steam derrick engineer in the Conway Yards for the Pennsylvania Railroad until 1918 when he moved to New Florence, Pennsylvania. He lived at Ninth and Sassafrass Streets in New Florence from 1918 until his death in 1968. He was a member of the United Methodist Church in New Florence. According to his son Frank, he died in April 1968, although his grave marker says 1967.
