"James Wesley BARKMAN is said to have been financed through medical school, at Loyola University of New Orleans, by his sister Caroline who had "married well." A story is told about his walking along the streets of New Orleans. From a building, he heard a woman screaming. He went into the building to investigate but, being unable to get through the door, he looked through the transom. Seeing that a man was choking the woman, he shot the man. He was exonerated on the woman's testimony."
"James Wesley BARKMAN wrote poetry, much of which is in the possession of Dorothy May FESER in Houston. Thus, his letter of proposal to Hattie C. MARTIN ends:
Though far our paths may sever,
Should fate e'er bid us part,
Nor time nor place shall ever
Divide my constant heart.
But while its pulse is beating,
Its truth unstained shall be.
And, when the last is fleeting,
That throb shall be for thee.
-- May God in His kind providence aid and protect you is the wish nearest the heart of
J.W. BARKMAN"
