and will be to the end, and when my last final farewell to earth shall come, and has been said, and it is mine to go up higher, this blessed treasure I shall be permitted to carry with me, as I enter within the walls and through the gates of the heavenly city of my Father's house, where I will join the mighty throng, in song and praise to God and the Lamb through a never ending eternity."

James Washington, fifth son of Cannon and Sally Hearne, born Oct. 10, 1938, was a babe at the death of our father and mother, and was raised by Uncle Thomas Owen, near Lexington, Ky., where he worked on the farm till reaching his majority, receiving his education at the country schools. He sold his land for $3,500, had $2,500 in cash from a father's estate, and sold his Negroes to Dr. Ben Darnaby, or rather traded them for a farm in Missouri, and went to Chillicothe, Mo., and engaged in the lumber business, and after several years removed to Carrollton, same State, and then to Sherman, Texas, continuing the business with success.

1889 he received the appointment of Internal Revenue Collector for Northern District of Texas, at a fine salary, with headquarters at Dallas, to which place he then removed with his family, and lives there still. In Politics he is a Republican, and in religion Methodist.

Aug., 1860, he married Miss Addie Morse, of Bath Maine, who only lived one year, and Oct., 1862, he married Edith Bristol, of Xenia, Ohio, but a native of the state of New York. Children: Addie Cordelia, born Sept. 15, 1869, and Robert Channing, born Apr. 1872.

Addie Cordelia (Miss Cordie she is called), is an exceedingly bright young lady, and an accomplished artist, having spent several years at the best schools in Philadelphia to complete her education in that line. For one year she had charge of the art department in the Methodist Female College at Waco, Texas. Then for several years, she held some position in St. Mary's Episcopal College in Dallas, Texas, when she gave her entire attention to a studio of her own. In 1904 she married Frank C. Cornell, a farmer, living near Ithica, New York, where she now lives.

Robert Channing Hearne married Miss Alice Thompson, Apr., 1896, and they have a daughter, Edith Alice, born Oct. 22, 1897.
