The couple had six children: Hazel, Vivian, Mildred, James Glen, Winnifred and Elwood. Viv¬ian and James Glen died in in¬fancy and are buried in the lit¬tle Mountain Green Pioneer Cem¬etery. James raised hay and grain on the farm, then took over the operation of a sawmill formerly owned by his father, Joshua. The only help he could get at the mill were exconvicts, and some were still evading the law. There must have been some kind of communication between the convicts and the law, because every time a Federal Agent came to check on certain individuals, they had, without fail, left in the night for parts unknown, and they never did come back for wages due. One time while James was hauling lumber out of Cottonwood Canyon, Mrs. Elisah Hardy and two children came driving up the road in a buggy. When she tried to cross Cottonwood Creek, the swift water swept the horse and buggy down stream, along with its occupants. James heard the woman and children screaming and rushed to the scene. With expert precision he felled a cottonwood tree and dropped it within inches of the submerged buggy. He then proceeded to walk out on the tree rescued the frightened family. It was a close call for the Hardys. On another occasion, James was driving down the Canyon with a load of lumber when he noticed what he thought was a pack of coyotes feeding on the carcass of a dead sheep. He handed the reins to his son, Elwood, and crept through the sage¬brush, expecting to scare the pesky critters away. It just so happened that they were a pack of vicious timber wolves. Startled, James started back tracking to the wagon, but for every step back¬ward the wolves took one forward. Finally, in a panic, he turned and ran pell mell for the wagon. The wolves chased the wagon for about two miles before giving up and slinking off through the sagebrush. All six children were born in the old log house. In 1906 James and Britt bought more land from his father and moved into a little frame house. 206 James and Winnifred ready for a fast ride in the racing buggy.
