She was nearly 97 years old at the time. She mentions James William Ward and Emma Lois (Williams) Ward in this interview. 5) My sister and I affectionately referred to our great-grandfather, James William Ward, as "Pipe Grandpa" because of the fact that he was rarely seen without a pipe in his mouth. 6) I am lucky to have numerous items that belonged to James William Ward and Emma Lois (Williams) Ward.
