He keeps on hand every description of queensware, and does a very extensive business, both wholesale and retail.

James, founder and many years head of the queensware house of T.M.

He came here in March, 1851. The place was then known as Westport Landing, and had a population of a few hundred. So far as is known there is not now residing in Kansas City a single person who lived here at that times. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: &amp;amp;quot; source sans pro&amp;amp;quot;,helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #36322d; font-family: 'source sans pro',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.5px; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;Mr. James was a native of Kentucky and was almost 79 years of age. Kansas City was known as Westport Landing when he came here and engaged in the milling business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: &amp;amp;quot; source sans pro&amp;amp;quot;,helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #36322d; font-family: 'source sans pro',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.5px; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;During the war Mr. James was a Union sympathizer, but he resolved to take no part in the hostilities, and to this adhered strictly, excepting upon one occasion. This was when Gen. Sterling Price was almost hourly expected to descend upon Kansas City with a Confederate army. Then Mr. James, with every other able-bodied citizen, was pressed into service by the Union officers for the town's protection. With tools in his hand and a gun by his side he helped to build a fort and fortify the east side of the hill on which the Coates house now stands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: &amp;amp;quot; source sans pro&amp;amp;quot;,helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #36322d; font-family: 'source sans pro',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.5px; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;His peaceful attitude during that turbulent time did not save him from trouble. His Union sentiments were well known and he was frequently threatened by Confederate soldiers and sympathizers. Many of the Union men, on the other hand, regarded him as lukewarm and were bitter toward him. But he had equal amounts of moral and physical courage and the threats of neither side were sufficient to swerve him from the course he had determined to follow. By his bravery he on one occasion saved the life of Maj. Ranson, of the Union army. A band of guerrillas, learning Maj. Ranson was here, came in search of him, sworn to kill him if they found him. They did find him at the corner of Seventh and Main streets and covered him with their guns. Mr. James ran between Maj. Ranson and his intended slayers and gave Ranson a chance to escape, which he very quickly took advantage of.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: &amp;amp;quot; source sans pro&amp;amp;quot;,helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #36322d; font-family: 'source sans pro',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.5px; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;Mr. James amassed a fortune of nearly $1,000,000. He was prominent in Baptist affairs, having practically given every Baptist church in the city its start. His benefactions to the Calvary Baptist church alone exceeded $95,000.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: &amp;amp;quot; source sans pro&amp;amp;quot;,helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #36322d; font-family: 'source sans pro',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.5px; orphans: 2; text-align: ; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;Mr. James was uncle to Frank and Jesse James, but would never discuss them in any way.
