Few people realize the
happiness Bill James of
Harveys Lake has brought
into the lives of many Back
Mountain residents.
A quiet and modest man,
he shrugs off as ‘incidental’
the many considerate
deeds he has done for
others. Seldom does a week
go by that he and his wife,
the former Louise Troster
of Kingston, do not pick up
three or four friends from
the Back Mountain and
take them with them on
trips, to concerts, or out to
dinner. These are residents
who, in most cases, would
1ave no transportation or
means to go anywhere.
No task is too great,
whether it be driving
someone to town or doing
other chores for some less
fortunate.
Retiring in 1965 from the
Postal Department where
he had been employed for
34 years, he now spends
three to four months of
each year working with the
annual Shrine Circus
where he has been
chairman of the guest
program for the last 14
years. Both he and Louise
give generously of their
time the week of the circus
as well, which is always
held the week following
Easter.
Born and raised in
Edwardsville, the son of
the late William and Alice
James, Bill graduated
from Edwardsville High
School. Shortly after
graduation, he joined the
Post Office Department as
railway postal clerk,
spending the first 27 years
on trains. The last seven
years before he retired he
worked on special
assignments out of the
Philadelphia Regional
Office, traveling through
Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware.
He and Louise first lived
in Philadelphia but after a
few months moved to
Willow Grove where they
remained until 1943 when
they moved to Meshoppen.
When the James left
Meshoppen they purchased
a home on Spring Street,
Shavertown, where they
resided for three years.
It was then they decided
to build their home in
Vernon where they
remained for 22 years.
While there, Louise James
became interested in
ceramics and before long
had opened her own
business in an addition
which Bill had built on their
home.
For five years after his
retirement, Bill and Louise
traveled to New Jersey for
greenware and molds for
the business and he
became as involved as she
did in the shop.
Finally, they decided
they should have more
time for themselves and do
some traveling which they
both enjoy so they sold
their place in Vernon and
purchased their ‘large
white home which sets up
on a hill overlooking
Harveys Lake. -
They make good use of
their 19-foot boat, riding
around the lake, and in
good weather, they often
take friends and lunch with
them and enjoy eating in
the center of the lake.
Bill is a member of
George M. Dallas Lodge,
Caldwell Consistory and
Irem Temple, around
which a great deal of his
life revolves. He has been
active in both Consistory
and the Shrine since he
became a member in 1946.
He is presently the only
member of Consistory who
is the recipient of the 33rd
degree and the Meritorious
Service Award.
He is a commissioner of
the Caldwell Immediate
Relief Fund and also
volunteers his service in
the office. He is degree
master for the 26th degree
which is conferred by
members of the Dallas
area.
resident of the Chanters
and also of the Uniformed
Unit. These groups have
appeared in many parades,
both public and Shrine, and
in the Middle Atlantic
Convention at Virginia
Beach, took first place in
MN t

in singing
competition.
Although he does not
teach now, Bill was a
Sunday School teacher for
more than 40 years. Before
moving to the lake, he was
a member of
Centermoreland United
Methodist Church where he
taught the Men’s Bible
Class. He and his wife also
were hard workers in the
church’s annual barbecue
and auction. He is now a
member of Idetown United.
Methodist Church where he
sings in the choir.
