From The Wilmington Morning News 3 Mar 1913

There are so many James Hearns it is difficult to tell which family this man would belong to.  The best guess is he was the son of Banner F. Hearn and Sophronia E. Kinnekin Hearn.  they lived in Delmar in this time frame.  James Hearn is buried at parsons cemetery in Salisbury
