Eventually he found employment as "...a clerk in Lock's Dry Goods Store in Barrie". Source: The Cronicle and North Simcoe Advocate, July 20, 1899. I remember James as once being a turnkey in Barrie Jail, an office which inspired me with some awe, amounting to almost reverence. Later with his family of four children, Alex, Bill, Carrie and Lottie, he moved to Detroit where his family was augmented by three other children: Arthur, Eva, Ernest. There is still a large connection in or near Detroit. FROM '1901-1902 Detroit City Directory', page 843: Jennett, see also Genet. Alexander C, carp, h 628 Hudson av.
