Thanks, but I don't think that's them, as I believe they had their first child,
Eva, in Hartford City in 1892. They also had Bertha (1893), Paul (1898), Mabel (1900), and
my grandfather Don (1903) there. I have a suspicion that his wife's maiden name was
Lykins, as there was an Anna Lykins that lived in John's neigborhood when he was a kid
in Delaware County. I may be wrong, however, because John's parent's names were
certainly Richard and Sarah. I just don't understand why he would call himself James,
when his first name was John, his middle initial was A, and my dad says everybody called
him John. According to my father, he died in a nursing home in Richmond about 1949. His
wife Anna preceded him by a few years, dying in Hartford City.
