Biography

Birth

Jim was born in 1852.

Name

His Hocąk name is given in the censuses as KahHaHoNoNeeKah, which is for Kaǧixųnųnįka, "Little Crow", or "Young Crow", which is from kaǧi, "crow, northern raven"; xųnų, "small, young"; nįk, "little, small, young"; -ka, a definite article suffix used for personal names. This name is probably from the Bear Clan.

Family

His family included the following:

Ellen (b. 1852), wife

George (b. 1879)

Charlle (b. 1889)

Henry (b. 1891)

Emma (b. 1893)

James (b. 1895)

The Frank Sine (b. 1862) found living next door in the 1905 census, may be his brother.

Death

He appears in the 1917 census as a widower, but does not appear in the 1919 census or any thereafter, leading to the conclusion that he probably died in 1918.
