James and his twin,  Ann, were born in the little house south of the homestead Everett and Fern bought from Everett’s Aunt Ann.    Dr. D.Y. (Druery Young) Stem delivered the twins.  (Thus daddy’s middle name.)  They were born on their brother, Henry’s, 10th birthday.  Henry was so upset, he ran away from home.
