James Simpson "Jim" Herron

PARENTS: James Simpson "Jim" Herron was born on November 4, 1848, in Carrollton, Caroll County, Georgia, to Thomas Simpson Herron and Arminda Hall (1-8). He was the oldest child of eight born to his parents (1-23). His siblings include Hiram (July 25, 1850-September 18, 1909), Charity (May 17, 1852-July 25, 1857), D.F. (July 8, 1854-August 8, 1857), Jane (February 4, 1857-February 4, 1940), Pierce (January 4, 1860-September 15, 1902), Green Grant (July 23, 1862-January 5, 1925), and Missouri Herron (April 13, 1864-October 16, 1945) (4-23).


FIRST MARRIAGE/CHILDREN: In approximately 1872, Jim married Clara Annie "Carrie" McCracken in an unknown location. Born December 8, 1844, in Cass County, Georgia, the belief is that Carrie was the daughter of Unknown McCracken and Permelia Unknown (24-35). Jim and Carrie had four children together: Arminda Pamelia (August 20, 1873-August 31, 1961), Harriet Laura (March 9, 1876-November 14, 1959), Missouri Jane (June 5, 1880-December 8, 1904), and J.D. Herron (March 20, 1884-March 20, 1884) (4-8, 37-51). Carrie died on September 14, 1895, in Eldridge, Walker County, Alabama (24). Her interment is at Kansas Cemetery in Kansas, Walker County, Alabama (24).

SECOND MARRIAGE/CHILDREN: After Carrie's death, Jim remarried on December 2, 1897, in Fayette County, Alabama, Thomas Sherman McCaleb's widow, Rosetta Catherine "Rosa" Webster (52-54). Thomas and Sherman had two sons, and so, Jim gained two stepsons through their marriage, Thomas Sherman (March 1, 1897-October 15, 1971) and Dee McCaleb (April 5, 1890-November 23, 1984) (54-56). Born on October 23, 1872, in Vernon, Lamar County, Alabama, Rosetta was the daughter of Martha Van Buren Webster and Martha Polly Ann "Mary" South (57-63). Jim and Rosetta had three children together, Myrtle (December 24, 1898-January 5, 1991), Arthur (February 23, 1901-August 19, 1904), and George Herron (June 7, 1906-August 9, 1992) (4-8, 64-86).



DEATH: On October 21, 1935, Jim passed away in Eldridge, leaving Rosetta a window for nearly twenty-five years (1-3, 87-88). On July 11, 1960, in Winfield, Marion County, Alabama, Rosetta joined Jim in death (57-59). Jim and Rosetta's interments are in Kelley Cemetery in Eldridge, Walker County, Alabama (1, 57).


ABOUT: Jim was a well-known farmer in Walker County for the majority of his life.

Royce Clifton Maloney There is an 8x10 photograph that I have recently hung in the stairway of my home . It is an old photograph that contains all of my dad's siblings, their spouses, their children, and his parents standing on the porch of my grandparents' tattered old home . Thirty-two descendants of M.J. Moats and Rosie Mae Anderson stood that day, marking that moment . Of course, more grandchildren were born after that portrait, growing their legacy . But when I walk by that photograph stained from time, I can't help but have nostalgia and sadness over the ones that are now gone from our lives . Fifteen made their subtle mark on the world before God called them home to the heavens . And soon, there will be one more since one of my cousins is in his final stage of lung cancer . His moments are limited to mere days, if not hours . Sadly , though, he will not leave this world with the same carefree spirit that babies come into the world despite their welcomi...

Ernest Davis W hen the gust of wind from the back of the open plane slaps your face, and you are contemplating the impossible, you have only seconds to decide to jump and face all your fears. Of course, alternatively, the choice remains to slink gingerly back to the awaiting bench, where the ground is reached by pilot effort and not from a single second of bravado - or perhaps stupidity. To the jumper, it is a leap of faith that the chute will open when the ripcord gets pulled. However, when a jumper is 10,000 feet in the air, regardless of its attachment to the body, it becomes difficult to have faith in the invisible or unfelt -- the parachute whose single purpose is to glide you to the ground safely after touring it from the skies above.   In many ways, God is our daily parachute. We cannot feel him unless we meditate upon his existence. He is invisible to our eyes. And it requires a leap of faith to rely upon his promises. When our feet are planted firmly on ...
