  Notes	NOTE: To all who believe they may be related to James Wilson Eason: I see that Family Tree Maker has crossed referenced James Wilson Eason with other Easons. From those lists, only the ones referring to his wife, the former Ida Lee Felts, are correct. All data provided here pertaining directly to James Wilson Eason are accurate. He was my grandfather and I remember him well. He passed away just 6 days after my third birthday, but, as he made his home with my parents, I have many memories of him, including the day prior to his deathand his open coffin sitting in the Undisclosed room at our home. All data are easily verified because my mother, age 93, is Undisclosed and very competent mentally. He never lived anywhere except in east Texas, and was a strong family man. Were any of those cross-references factual, I would know it. I hope this will save you some time while researching your family tree. ----------------] Census for 1900 (verify from notes) show J. W. Eason, wife Lena, brother-in-law, Emmett Tyre, age 15, and an employee.
