During the Great Depression, James was manager of a dye company owned by John J. Cabey. Mr. Cabey "mentored" James, groomed him for an upward climb in his company. But, before his upward mobility commenced, James suddenly quit the company without so much as an explanation to his wife, Julia Susan. No one in the family ever learned of the cause of the split, so the reason behind his action went with him to his grave.- SRC: Julia Veronica Brook Fox OBITUARY: James E.
