In The Maryville Daily Forum, Missouri newspaper on May 13, 1942 it talked of them visiting his parents after he finished Navy Aviation Medical School in Pensacola, FL and were on their way to visit her parents in Council Bluff. Then they would be making their home in Iowa City, Iowa. Saying he would be connected to the Pre-Flight Training School at Iowa University.

On Nov. 13, 1951, a write up in local newspaper said his parents had been visiting Ralph and family in Iowa, as he and his family were all recovering from an Auto Accident. At some point after that they moved to Oregon where he work at a VA hospital, they got their SS cards there. Born to them were 5 sons and one daughter.

Jim is also a 1st cousin 1x removed to Ralph) Bio by WLS. He is a 1st cousin 1x removed to Eugene Murray Simmons. 4/05/16: Per a cousin of his, we were told his middle name was Newton, after his grandfather, since all records found said only Ralph N. Westfall. Just found military records, with birthdate and place of birth saying his middle name (which he signed) is Norman. So have changed here and in family trees.
