    Remembrances by James B. Peeples

    James A. would carve small things out of wood, I have several of his pieces, and they include about six chairs and one table, looks very much like doll furniture. It’s unclear if they were intended for a doll house or whether they are decorative pieces. There is also a small sail boat in a bottle, a ladder in a bottle, and also a larger ladder that has a hook on the end of it, all carved by him from wood. I’ve attached a few pictures of them; it’s difficult to photograph small objects I’m always striving for better images.

    I remember my mother always telling me that after James A. died she told my father she wanted to be the first one in the house so she could have her choice of things, (it must have been a pre-arranged plan) and that she always liked those chairs. They were always displayed on a high shelf in the living room, by the front door.
    I remember as small child that I was allowed to look at them, but not to pick them up. I could, however, rock the small rocking chair; it is always my favorite piece, maybe because is actually did something. Most have a little bit of damage as they break if dropped, some have been repaired.

    Elizabeth May Lutz' memories of James Asbury:

    When she was a young girl James Asbury would wait on the corner for her, knowing when she was due to come along. He would always have a little something for her, a treat like an apple or something.

    Ron Peeples is quoted as say that his father (Orlando Franklin Peeples) and Orlando's mother (Ethel Mabel Harrison):

    My father recalled that he often smoked a pipe and "philosophized," while my father said that my father's mother would often say James "...was the nicest of the bunch."
