_______________________________________________________________________
(From his brother James's obituary) James lived in Kansas until the
spring of 1895, when he and a younger bother Joe, left by way of a
horse and buggy for the state of Iowa, to make their home with an
aunt, Mrs. Mosier, who lived on a large farm near Lebanon. Another
brother, John, soon joined them. (Gladys Hervey Beggs told the story
as if the three brothers all came to Iowa together.)
