On 18 Feb 1894 James wrote his final letter from Mineral Wells, TX to one of his sons. The letter mentions his son's mother is not able to do anything, so because his children's mother died from pneumonia long before in 1883, this letter must be to one of his youngest sons and James is referring to his second wife as if she were that son's mother. James noted Grandma, meaning Olive Glenn, died last night.

James' obituary notes he had 7 sons and 3 daughter, all of whom lived to adulthood.
