This is a work in progress so please be patient as we add more information. |
| Here are all the photos I have
collected that mostly are children of Joseph Henry James (and some scenes)
while they were still in Mexico. They give a flavor of what life was
like then.
There must be more of these from other family members. Please share them with me and I will add them to this web site for others to enjoy. Thanks. Rex James (click on photos to enlarge) |

James Gale Jr., Sarah
Elizabeth James Gale and James Otto Gale about 1900.
Photo from Lyman Hamblin, originally from Bathsheba James Gurr. |
 |
Photo is identified as James Gale Jr. and Sarah
Elizabeth James Gale, about 1910 but this does not appear to be same folks
as those in photo above. Help? Photo from Lyman Hamblin, originally from Bathsheba James Gurr. |

Nelson and James families
after exodus, near Tucson, Arizona, about 1912.
Entry on the back says: The Nelson Family in camp in 1912 after leaving
their home in Old Mexico July 18, 1912 and Willard James and Wife Wallace
Gurr and Wife Bash. From the history of Rhoda Nelson James and carefully
studying the families yeilded these identities: Lady on left: Charlotte
Nelson James and probably John Willard James Jr. in the buggy. Three men in
center: John Willard James, James Mark Nelson, Wallace Marsh Gurr. Two
children near men: Photo from Lyman Hamblin, originally from Bathsheba James Gurr. |

Near Colonia Juarez about
1900. entry on back says: Road construction over the mountain to Hop Valley. I could not identify any of the men. Photo from Lyman Hamblin, originally from Bathsheba James Gurr. |
 |
entry on back says Saw
Mill, can anyone recognize those in the photo? Photo from Lyman Hamblin, originally from Bathsheba James Gurr. |

School kids at Pacheco,
about 1896. Entry on back says: School house at Pacheco. Bash left strip dress, possible Mother on right? The photo came from Lyman Hamblin and was with the Bathsheba Gurr photos. If the lower left (striped dress) girl is Bathsheba James Gurr she looks to be about 8 which would date the photo as 1896. Photo from Lyman Hamblin, originally from Bathsheba James Gurr. |
 |
Orin James, guess is
about 1925 Entry on back says William James but
comparing other photos this is probably Orin in Gallup about 1925. |
