  Jack Curtis stated July 2004 that Roscoe had a grocery store on East Mt. Vernon street in Somerset KY. He had a son named Luther who sowed plenty wild oats and had a car as a youngster. Something very few his age had. facebook, Pulaski County Kentucky Group 7/7/18: Beulah Bales writes "there was an. Addition just after you exit the city. Called the James Addition. It was named after a man named James. He had a big farm there". Norma Jean Miller Jasper The James Addition was my great uncle Roscoe James , he lived on the corner of E. Mt. Vernon St. and Jarvis Ave. till his death. The Somerset Vision Center resides there today. Norma Jean Miller Jasper I live at 107 Jarvis Ave. across the street where my uncle Roscoe James lived. My family and I have lived here 52 years. Norma Jean Miller Jasper You are so right, been in that house many times with my grandmother , Cornelia Ridings Cundiff . My great grandmother Loretta James Ridings was Uncle Roscoe James? sister!
