Besides one aged brother, William Henry JAMES; and three aged sisters, Misses Susan, Margaret and Jenny JAMES; three daughters, Mrs. George NETHERY, of Crockett County, Mrs. Alex HOLLSND, of Benton County, and ???, of Haywood County. Coupled with the sorrow of this death is the grief and anxiety felt by the children over the disappearance of their aged father, MR.

His whereabouts are still unknown.
