Jim was my brother. He dropped out of school in his senior year and married a girl from Mason City. He got a job at Montgomery Ward in Mason. They lived on the farm south of us and had a baby girl. Moved to Mason City. From there I really don't much of anything else for I left home. They had 2 girls and a boy. The boy passed away before Jim did. The two girls are still living and one in Mason and don't know about the other. Don't know for sure but think he had 3 grandkids. Him and his wife divorced. Jim was sick for many years and finally passed away in November 2001.
Not much but after I left home don't know much what went on.
Written by his sister Ruth Dankbar Collins (1960)
