James (Jim) Booker served is country below is a application for a Headstone filled out by his wife Pinkie. Since he was in the Army, they would pay for his head stone when requested. Other documents are the 1940 Census Record and his draft registra- tion cards for World War I & II. Jim Booker was born in Woodville, MS in Wilkinson County. Also where his parents were from. His grandfather Adam was a slave on one of the plantations in the area. Jim spent most of his adult life in Hammond, Louisiana,
