Bluff Springs is the name of the community that James lived and died. It was once a thriving place but now no longer exist, and to get to the cemetery you literally have to drive down a logging road, with grass growing down the center, and is very hard to find. Once a year the descendants get together at the cemetery to have a picnic lunch and tell stories about their ancestors. Fresh flowers are placed on the graves and the headstones are dusted off. It is a beautiful country cemetery that is still cared for today.
