Comments: James Emory (Nee: ) | Baltimore City MD United States | 1921-1940 | Comments: This is a 1936 portrait of James Emory, a beloved family friend, painted by artist Leonard Marion Bahr (search "Bahr") (although this is NOT a good copy of a beautiful portrait, no other image of James currently exists in photographic form). James was born c.1870's in Kentucky and his father was a former slave. When a youth, James moved to Baltimore and later became a gardener and caretaker of a home owned by James H. Riefle (search "Riefle"), who had known Emory as a childhood friend. Now Leonard was Riefle's son-in-law, who lived in this same house and where Emory had an apartment in the basement, which apartment consisted of 2 rooms with a dirt floor and a portrait of Lincoln above his bed. Emory taught Bahr gardening, how to cut grass with a scythe, and other useful skills. All of Riefle's children and grandchildren loved James Emory, who died late in his years at an unknown date. Burial unknown.
