It appears that James, or J.W. as he is often referred to, was mostly self-taught as a physician. According to a 1921 biography of him and his family, ``He had early become interested in the medical science, and by diligent application to such works on anatomy and other branches as he could obtain, trained himself to minister to the ills of his fellow beings. He was generous to a fault, and during the Civil war never accepted any remuneration for services rendered to the families of soldiers, his kindness and sympathetic nature winning him a legion of warm friends.''
