Age 70, son of Eklizag & Mary (Hinshaw) Hackney; 1st husband of Anna (Dimon) Hackney Dennis∼From a written family history by James's son, Clarence Herbert Hackney:
James, the youngest of the children, worked by the day at anything that was available. He was married in 1905. He and his wife, Anna, started house keeping east of Colfax where he worked top side at the Severs Coal Mines. He worked there for four years and then started farming northeast of Newton. He farmed all his life in Jasper County, except for one year in Marshall County.
Over the years they moved many times because they always rented. In 1929 they moved to the old Hackney home place [Elijah Hackney homestead, Amboy, just NE of Newton, IA] where they lived until 1938 when they moved to the home where I now live.
James and his wife had three children: one daughter and two sons. I am the older son.
