James Harold Hagey was born February 18, 1930 near Burlington Junction, Missouri to Virgil Hagey and Clella (Hedrick) Hagey. He grew up in the Burlington Junction area and graduated from Burlington Junction High School. Jim was united in marriage to Joyce Davison June 10, 1950 in Elmo, Missouri. Two children were born to this union, Gary and Peg.
Jim was a loving husband and father. He spent most of his life farming and raising livestock. In 1963, he purchased a farm in Page County, Iowa where the family moved. He purchased further acreage through the years, sold seed corn and farmed with his son. In later years, he moved to Clarinda, Iowa, upon retiring and lived with his wife until she passed in 2007. Jim still enjoyed helping his son on the farm. He collected John Deere scale model toy tractors and had two full size antique John Deere tractors. Jim moved to the Eiler Place in April 2016 where he spent the remainder of his days.
