Garner, the youngest of three children, was born as James Scott Bumgarner in Norman, Oklahoma, to Weldon Warren Bumgarner, a carpet layer, and Mildred Meek, who died when Garner was four years old. His mother was of part Cherokee ancestry.[1] After their mother's death, Garner and his brothers were sent to live with relatives. Garner was reunited with his family in 1934, when Weldon remarried. Garner grew to hate his stepmother, Wilma, who beat all three boys, but especially young James. When he was fourteen, James finally had enough of his 'wicked stepmother' and after a particularly heated battle, she left for good. As James' brother Jack commented, "She was a damn no-good woman".[2] Garner admitted that his stepmother punished him by forcing him to wear a dress in public, and that he finally engaged in a physical fight with her, knocking her down and choking her to keep her from killing him in retaliation.
