James was born in 1851, just two years after his older sister, Mary Bostwick Shellman. They were close friends. According to Mary, “His pals were my pals, his interests my interests and that was the beginning of my love and appreciation of boy friendships which had lasted through life- So it is of my boys I will speak, and if to prove my belief that nine out of ten boys can be trusted once you have gained his confidence and respect."
