He married Clara Jane Homer. To this union were

Albert Jackson Sims was a man of great faith.
He had a great memory. He once was asked why he had
such a great memory to which he replied, “I do not
know, but I know it was a gift from God.” But when
he went blind, he said that he knew then why God had
given him this great gift of memory.
He taught music in many churches. He wrote the hymn,
“Unseen Hand” in the 1930’s before he went
blind. This song is sung in many churches today.
Always, in times of trouble, he would go to the Bible
where he always received comfort. He read the Bible
daily before he went blind.
↪ I'm not so sure about Joseph? I know they called him Jader, but I don't know his legal name. Jean's first name was Sarah. I named my daughter after her.
