Notes:
Jim
was a life-long Lynnville-area Windham Township farmer. He was very
active in the local Liberal political party, serving as vice-president of
North Norfolk Liberals in 1901. He was so modest he did not have his
portrait taken. When the Reformer wanted to publish his photo
with the news of his death the best the family could provide was
taken on his parents' lawn in Port Dover over a decade before. After
Jim died, Emory moved to Plainfield, New Jersey where she helped
raise her son Arthur's daughters.
