A Cape Becomes A Coffin Now, along about this time everywhere you would look there were posters and advertisements, every one just alike, "Go west, young man, go west." After Jim having talked it over with some of the older men in Pounding Mill, he decied this was the thing for him to do. Second Cousin Jim Pack left on the No. 5 train headed west on April 30, 1905, taking his ring with him and leaving Grandma and the rest of the families weeping. They all felt sure they were never see him again. They prayed for many years - Grandma prayed on 'til the very day she died, but they never heard from young Jim again, at least not that we know of. The woman writing this was his second cousin born the next day after Jim left. Her real name is Maudie Georgia Quesenberry, but it was changed later to Georgia Maude Quesenberry. She married a Scotch-Irishman named Robert Nathan Maxfield. At this writing she is still living.
