Individual:
James E. and his father, James A. Castleman lived in Bogata, Red River Co., TX, for many years. They owned and operated the Bogata Lumber Yard and helped to build the small community with many nice homes. They helped to build the First Baptish Church where they were active members.
James E. attended Paris Jr. College and when WWII began he held the rank of Lt. Colonel as the Chief Flight Instructor for the British cadets at Mauldin Aviation Field in Terrell, TX. Flying was James E. Castleman's true love and he was, in later years, an FAA examiner and taught many people to fly including both his sons. Even his wife, Floy, kept flying a household word by obtaining her own private pilots license.
He was a very active person, happy as a deacon in his church, a Mason, president of the local Chamber of Commerce, school trustee, casttle raiser and was proud of being vice president of the NETSCO Trails Boy Scout Council and holding the Scouts highest honor, the Silver Beaver. He and Floy were both gifted musicians (as are their sons), and published a hymn "It Was Jesus".
James was killed at Cox Field in Paris, TX while trying to teach as female student how to fly a small plane.
