  • Notes 
    • Called: Graves in many of J.H. Cason's letters.

      He was a Baptist preacher and missionary as well, serving the same church his father served in Seymour, TX.

      Nannie called him Uncle Jimmy. It appears that he served churches in Wetumka, Claremore, Dustin, and Henryetta in Oklahoma late in his life.
