Murle was a homemaker and came to the Anderson Valley, in Mendocino Co CA with her parents from Indiana in 1887. Her Parents owned and operated the old stae stop, which was a hotel restaurant, in Boonville. Reportedly, James met Myrtle while she was working there for her folks. James and Myrtle McNeill and her parents are mentioned in the book, Down to Earth, written about this area and the era. James farmed his father's 160 acres, located in Peachland and west of Boonville, CA at an area locally called "Twin Pines". He also worked another 480 acreas, and leased 320 acres in the same area for raising cattle. At one time, he droe freight wagons with hides and tan bark between Boonville, Cloverdale and Ukiah to the tanneries and worked part time for Myrtle's father.
