| Burial | From Findagrave: "During the civil war Ark attempted to remain neutral as sentiments there were divided. However, as most of the settlers had migrated from the south, on May 20, 1861, Arkansas became the 6th state of the Confederate States of America. The confederate troops marched north into Missouri, leaving the border counties such as Marion unprotected. Bushwackers and jayhawkers (gurrillas) roamed this area, stealing, raping and murdering whoever was in their path.
James was a farmer & appearently chose to remain neutral during the war. The story as told to Ruth "Nadine" Rea Randall by Mary Loutisha Reynolds was late one night several bushwackers rode up to James house. As a number of men in the neighborhood had been murdered by these bushwackers, James hid behind his house where wood had been stacked. As James wife Martha "Patsy" was explaining to the bushwackers there were no men on the property, their son, John Wesley (memorial #32843571), became frightened and ran to where his father was hiding. The men followed and murdered James. He was buried in the woods behind the house. If Martha or the children were abused in any way the story was never told." |
