- From Gail Dexter Ferris notes:
"Katherine Amanda James was born December 23, 1863 in Haverdegras, Harford Co., Maryland. (This information was shown on her death certificate, however I have been unable to find such a place or verify this as her birthplace. I did find a P.O called Haver de Grace in Harford Co. Maryland however, where the family was listed on the census records in 1860). Later, Katy, as she was called, moved to Indiana then to Nebraska. She lived in Silver Creek where her parents (or her brother Joseph H. James) ran a grist mill. She was a schoolteacher and met Hiram when he wintered some cattle near Silver Creek, Nebraska. (She and her parents are buried at Pierce Chapel Cemetery Clarks, Nebraska on the Dexter Lot.) After moving the family to Kinsey, Montana (near Miles City) around 1915, Katy died in the Holy Rosary Hospital in Miles City, Montana after a goiter operation & hyperthyroidism. She was brought back to Pierce Chapel Cemetery in Nebraska for burial."
