Notes

  1. Find a grave has a different middle name. However, the documentation provided by his mother spelled it as Isaac, so I suspect it is accurate.

Biography

James Isaac[1] Beshears was born in DeKalb County, Tennessee[1] on the 4th of April, 1896[1] to John Beshears[1] and Mary Ann Johnson[1]. It appears that he did not marry nor have children.

He would be a farmer[1]

He entered military service as a Private in Smithville, Tennessee, on the 23rd of July, 1918. He would train in Atlanta, Georgia, at Camp Gordon, Ga, and would sail out on the 21st of September, 1918[1]

He died on board a ship on the 1st of October, 1918, and documentation would be completed to bring the body back to DeKalb[1].

He would be buried on the 9th of October, 1918, in the Banks Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery in DeKalb County, Tennessee[2]
