The name of the town was String Town and is now referred to as Old String Town as there is another city by that name in Oklahoma today. Jim weighed only 2-1/2 pounds at birth. The fact that he survived is no doubt a result of much prayer. Bertha made her tiny son a little mattress that fit snug in a large shoebox and that was his bed for several months.
