James never married.
A story told to Judy Kesterson Carter by her father, Jesse Kesterson.
Jesse's father died about 1959-1960. We owned a 1959 chevrolet thatoften wouldn't start. During the death of Jesse's father, the car wasgiving us trouble. One day James Walls drove up in his pickup truck,got out of the truck and pulled out his toolbox. He proceeded to godirectly to the car and started working on the car. When done, he gotin his truck and left. The car was in working order. This was prettytypical of James.
