Note: JAMES LKANE dropped the "S" on Ninemires for reasons we will never know. I suspect its probably from the Ninemires who get into trouble with the law. But, who knows, we'll never know the real reason. The BUCHANAN'S and NINEMIRES worked in the packing plants and coal mines in Iowa. James and Harriet traveled in a covered wagon with 7 children from Ottumwa to Hooker, Okla., between the years of 1909 and 1910. The children were not allowed to ride so they ran along behind the wagon throwing dried cow chips in to their mother so she could use them for fuel to cook with. Because J.L. would not stop, Harriet had to cook meals on the go in the covered wagon. Her standing over the hot stove, holding onto the pots and pans, later caused cateracts on her eyes. They settled 5 miles north of Hooker, Okla. The location of the farm is: Hooker, Okla., N 1/2 - NW 1/4 of section 10, township 5, range 17. There was where Kenneth (oldest boy) started the largest fire learning to smoke. They starved out moving to Cloud Co., Ks., in 1911. John Akers bought the land in Hooker, Okla., from J.L. and Harriet. In about 1933-34 Harriet started going blind. When they moved to Cloud Co., they settled: 1: Jessie Houser place on the corner 2: Old Harold Trose place 3: South of Concordia on hwy, west side of road 4: Moved south of Miltonvale until Harriet's death at which time James LKane sold the farm James LKane was a contrary man. With Harriet being blind it meant that someone had to help her. She would head out for the outhouse, getting lost, and J.L. would sit in the house and let her wander around never going to check on her. Helen, wife of James Vernon, found out about it and made J.L. put a wire from the house to the outhouse for Harriet's convience. Even though she was blind, Harriet still continued to cook for the men who came to do the thrashing. Rhea, her granddaughter, would go down and help her do the cooking. She had the patience of "Jobe". ************************* JAMES L. NINEMIRE Miltonvale Record - October 10, 1946 JAMES L. NINEMIRE was born in Davis County, Missouri January 16, 1874.
