Amayi ndi abale otsalawo sanatsutsane ndi zofuna za Chaffin panthawi yomwe adatsatizana, choncho nkhaniyi idasokonekera kwazaka pafupifupi zinayi, mpaka kumapeto kwa 1925.
Mwana wachiwiri wakale wa Jim Chaffin, a James Pinkney Chaffin, adavutika ndi zochitika zachilendo: bambo ake adamuwonekera m'maloto, kumapeto kwa kama, akumamuyang'ana monga adachita m'moyo, koma mwanjira yachilendo komanso chete.

Izi zidachitika kwakanthawi mpaka, mu Juni, Chaffin wachikulire adawonekera kwa mwana wake wamwamuna atavala chida chake chakuda chakuda. Atasunga chitseko chotsekeracho ndikuwonekera bwino, adalankhula ndi mwana wake kwa nthawi yoyamba kuti: "Mupeza kufuna kwanga mthumba la chovala chanu".

Jim Chaffin adasowa ndipo James adadzuka ndikukhulupirira kuti abambo ake amafuna kumuwuza kuti kwinakwake kuli chipangano chachiwiri chomwe chidasokoneza chomwe chidachitika kale.
