| Notes |
- Born in Denver at Fitzsimmons Gen Hospital, Room 12/W.S. Ward in April and moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming to visit grandparents and pick up brother Charles at the Strauss's. In mid August, they moved back to Denver until May 1928 when they moved back to Junction City, through until Sept 5, 1930.
At age 4, James stayed with Mrs. Kennedy's at Oceanport, New Jersey while father was stationed at Ft. Mammoth, NJ. Then the family moved to St. Louis, Missouri just about as James was turning 5. James stayed on the Strauss farm there until 2nd grade and at age 7 moved back into Junction City with mother and all the kids. The family moved through 3 houses until at age 15, James was confirmed in June of 1942, still in Jct City, Missouri.
Met Erma in hospital (Sanitarium) where James was being treated for 3 months for fluid on his lungs. James continued on as an orderly once well and they grew to love each other thru meetings and love notes. James also worked as an aircraft riveter and a dishwasher at a restaurant to bring income home to his family. After marriage to Erma in Leavenworth while living in Kansas City Missouri, they lived there from 1946 to 1949. They then moved to Phoenix where they lived from 1949-1950 (6 months), until moving onto Los Angeles, where they lived for 6 months. From there, Lee (assumed use of middle name) and James moved to Banning, California where they lived from 1950-1953, at 690 N. Park. James worked selling newspaper adds, sign painter, movie credits artist, and as a rodman (surveyor) during these periods.
In 1951, James joined the US Navy Reserve, CB's, Ser # 417-67-81 where he was a Surveyor Third Grade. In 1953 they moved to Calimesa, CA where they lived for 6 months and adopted Karen and David, because they had been trying for 7 years to conceive children, but were unsuccessful. Afterwards, the family moved back to Banning, from 1954 to 1956 where James III was born in 1955. In 1956 the family moved to Rialto, California where they lived from 1956 to 1960, along with several foster children (at times up to 4 foster children and Karen, David and Jimmy).
In June 1960, the families moved to Tucson, Arizona on doctors advise to help dry out the lungs of ErmaLea (new use of name). Joan was born in 1960; Karen underwent a heart surgery for a hole in her heart, David underwent surgery in the groin area, Jimmy had a pin placed in a broken arm and James and ErmaLea were involved in a serious accident a mile from home, which broke her jaw and involved other injuries. James worked for Blanton and Co as an engineer.
In 1967, the family moved to Phoenix, where James started his own Engineering firm. James and Erma eventually divorced in 1973 shortly after Jim & Lois were married, and James married Linda, his former secretary, and moved to Tucson, Arizona. Following the two-year marriage, James divorced Linda and moved to Rawlings, Wyoming where he became the City Engineer and lived for approximately 7 years. While there he met Marge and they married in 1979.
Eventually, James and Marge moved to Chicago suburbs and then onto Champaign, Illinois where James worked as the Public Works Director until retirement. James continued his hobbies in gardening, remodeling and painting until his death after a two week illness in January 2009.
