Born on Aug. 24, 1924, he was the son of Wilson and Clara Frisby Agerton, who preceded him in death, along with a son, Bonnie Roy Bull. James loved the outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing, walking or gardening. He retired from Monsanto Chemical Co. after 31 years and then fully enjoyed his retirement years until becoming ill three years ago. At that time, he and his wife moved from Urbana to Oak Ridge Nursing Home, where for several months he entertained the residents and staff with his singing, especially "Beulah Land", his favorite song. The family extends a very special thank you to the staff of Oak Ridge Nursing Home for taking such good care of James. James was a member and served as an usher at Harmony Baptist Church for many years. He served his country in the U.S. Army Air Corp during the World War II era.
