James Calvin Juvenal was born in Vermilion County, Illinois, January 4, 1837. His family moved to Texas in 1849. On February 12, 1857 he married a native Texan, Martha Allen, daughter of James B. Allen and Nancy McNutt. Her grandfather, Major Robert McNutt, was a hero of the Battle of San Jacinto. Known by everyone as “Cul” Juvenal, he went north when the Civil War began, and returned afterward to become a prominent cattle drover. (He was called Cul from his adopted middle name, Culbertson.) He sent herds from Texas to Kansas, and to Illinois and Indiana, working with his brothers and relatives. He was among the first cattlemen into Abilene and Wichita. From 1870 to 1886, he had a ranch in Russell County, Kansas.
In 1879 he divorced Martha (who refused to live in Kansas), and married Jennie Cating (Caton) that April 20th. He died in Osborne County, Kansas on Sept. 21, 1890.
In 1934 his body was moved to McCracken, Kansas.
