Bio
James moved from Macon Co., Tennessee, in the year 1915,to Pottsboro, Grayson Co., Texas. He, his wife Gertrude (Jones) took trains to Sherman, Grayson Co., Texas, where he became employed by local farmers. By the account of my great Aunt, Verna Huff, Gertrudes half sister Biance Jones, with her husband "doc" and family traveled with them. They all moved in together in one house.About year 1918, Gertrudes half brother, Columbus Pinkley "Lum" Jones ( his 2nd wife and lots of children) moved down and joined them. About a year later, Gertrudes brother, John Thomas Jones came down to live.
James Maion Sanders shows up in 1920 CensusSeries T625 Roll 1808 Page 226 at age 35 in Pottsboro Texas(Grayson Co.).He later shows up (about 1925) working (at a Lumber yard) and living in Muleshoe, Red River Co., TX. Before 1930, James relocates to Ft. Cobb, Caddo Co., Oklahoma, in which he starts a business ( groceries and gasoline). Shortly aterwards, James moves to Cyril, Oklahoma (Caddo Co.), where he stayed the rest of his life. He owned a service station, in which he fixed flats even after he lost his leg to diebetics ( setting on the ground and scutting around). James pasted away just shortly afterwards, outliving his wife about 4 years, from diebetics. James and his wife Gertrude are buried at Cement, Caddo Co., Oklahoma.
James had worked in the Freeman sawmill in Galen, Macon Co. Tennessee,( earned a Degree in Gallitin Tennessee?)before they moved to Texas.
His father had just died from an accident in the sawmill James was working at (the year of 1913) He was a short man, and played the banquo.
