NOTES
1). Jessie worked at the Steel Mill in Pittsburg, Ca., for over 20 years before he had to retire disabled. He was confined to a wheel chair for several years prior to his death at the age of 56. Jessie was a very likable person, a lot of fun to be around.He worked hard all his life, was a good father. Jessie and Dorothy, came to California during the GREAT DEPRESSION in 1936. They first went to Westwood where they stayed about a year, that is where Johnny was born. They went there because Roy and Dovie Rolen were there, and Roy got Jessie a job ina veneer plant. From Westwood they moved to Semi Valley, Ca. and lived in a big house with Jessie s mother Martha and her husband Jack Weems, Jessie s sister Margaret, and some of Jacks children. They stayed there a short time, and then moved to Tranquility, Ca. on a cotton farm. They lived there in a tent with Marie, Jessie s sister, and her husband Ed Rich, and their son Johnny, and Marie and Ed s son Therman. They all lived in the tent until they were able to rent a cabin for $1.00 a month. The farm they lived on was kind of like a camp, and they said people were carried out of there that had starved to death. Sometimes they only had flour gravy to eat. One story they liked to tell was of Therman finding a goose nest with eggs in it he took one back to his mom to fix for him and he had to share it with Johnny. Therman used to tease Johnny about that a lot. Jessie and Dorothy moved to San Francisco during the early part of World War ll, and they both worked at the Shipyard at Hunter s Point. They stayed there until the war was over. They were able to save enough money to go back to Oklahoma, and they boughta grocery store, gas station in Hartshorne. They stayed in Oklahoma a few years and then came back to California. They eventually settled in Antioch, sometime in the late 40s or early 50s and moved around a bit until they moved to 232 Rossi Avenue, where Dorothy still lives today.
