Biography

James was born in 1921 in Alabama to Travis and Susanah Courtney.[1] [2] He married Jean R.

He shares a grave marker with his wife. However, there is no date of death for her so it is assumed she is still living, buried elsewhere, or the date of death has not yet been affixed to the marker.[4]
