James Simeon Whitsett in 1925 at the age of 80. His picture appeared in a Deaf Smith County, Texas history in an article written by Sim's granddaughter Gladys Murphy. It was sent to me by Helen Eller of Texas, Sim's great-great granddaughter whose research discovered several photos. To see those photos, go to the
