Biography (2001)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


James (Jim) Baker Farley was born July 4, 1933 in Magnolia, Arkansas. His parents were Dwight L.(Doc) Farley and Nell Baker Farley. His father was a native of Indiana and came to Magnolia, Arkansas to accept a job as Chemistry Instructor at Magnolia A&M College. There he met and married Nell Baker and they had one son.

They resided in an on-campus apartment in Caraway Hall and served as house parents to the young men who lived in that building. Nell loved to tell me how the young men watched after Jim and pulled him around the campus in his little wagon, leaving her time to do what she needed and wanted to do. Later, the little family moved to Waldo, AR, where Jim attended school until his father got a job as Chief Chemist at the power plant in Stamps.

Jim joined our fun-loving, rowdy bunch in the eleventh grade and seemed to fit right in. At some point during the senior year, Jim and Kalene became a twosome. We both went to Southern State College, (formerly Magnolia A&M College) after graduation as did so many others of our class. I accepted a teaching position in Camden and Jim transferred to Oklahoma A&M. He came home for Christmas and we decided to get married. We married January 30, 1955. He got a job with International Paper Company. The company moved us from Camden to New Orleans, Mobile, and St. Louis.

In 1974, Jim came back to Arkansas and lived with his parents in Stamps. After his parents died, he continued to live in their home with the help of a very special, caring person. He was found dead on the morning of April 8, 1996. He has been sadly missed by all his friends and will not be forgotten.

Kalene
