We added photos to the story. I just happened to have a picture of my mother with her cap and overalls on and of their dog Cappy. I too saw some of the same things as with the story of Preston especially with the tin foil. My Mom said they NEVER threw it away and made Christmas decorations with it.

MEMORY LANE - Descendants of Caleb Jobe and Martha Emily Brewer http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/letters_cale_j_brewer.html (Part 3) My first long trip was to San Antonio. (Trip refers to Daddy coming in and saying, "Hop in the car, we're going, with no preparation or planning before hand. Most of the time, we had no idea where we were going or for how long). Auntie went with us. When we left the house, no one knew where we were going. Daddy was like that - getting us all in the car and just taking off. In San Antonio, we got lost. There were highways going in every direction. We could not get off the highway that we were on; and besides did not know where any of the highways went as did not have a map. We finally found a motel to spend the night at. Auntie and Mommy took forever to find the refrigerator and stove so that I could get my milk. I was getting mighty hungry and was really letting them know about my predicament. Finally, I was fed and drifted off into sleep. The next day we got back home and my first real trip came to an end. <P> When I was two, Mommy had to go into the hospital for an operation. She had a fibroid tumour removed and also had her cords tied. During this time, my baby sister and I were trying to get in the refrigerator at the same time. I just happened to be a little bit more determined and had a little bit more strength; so I knocked Sissy down, causing her to hit her nose on the trash can. She just nearly broke her nose. A good deal of skin was pulled off. My aunt put the skin back on somehow. This formed a scar though which was always to be a remembrance to this day. (1967). <P> "Childhood (ages 3 to 10)" <P> *Tomorrow parts 4 and 5 will be posted, since I'll be away on Thursday.

In 1988 I ask my mother to write me stories about her brothers and sisters and the one about herself and her childhood growing upin Sedan, Chautauqua County, Kansas. She will soon be 82 years old and this is what she wrote for me at that time. The first one is about her. It will be in two parts for now and the rest that I will post will be what she wrote about her siblings. Freida My Early Years by Mary Alice (Puckett) Null Hoskins http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/letters_copple_myers.html Written February 5, 1988 (d/o Mary Augusta Myers and Eddie Clarence Puckett, gd/o Sarah Ann Jobe and Simpson Myers, gt gd/o Edward Jobe and Isabelle Fincher) 1920's and 1930's in Kansas Since I�m the youngest, I can�t write to much about the early years of my brothers and sisters since there was a lot of age difference. My oldest sister �Vi� married at the age of 22, the year I was born. �Bud� was 19 years old, �Gail� 15, �Burgess� 11 and Nadine 5 years old when I was born. Mom had a boy, girl, boy, girl about every 5 years after Bud was born. I was suppose to be a boy. My brother Burgess was expecting a kid brother to play with as he was surrounded on both sides by sisters. I was a �Tom Boy�, dressed in overalls and wore a cap when I could find someone else�s to wear that is. Our dog use to dig a hole under the fence so he could follow Burgess and his friends while they rode bicycles or went to the river, after Cappy (the dog) got the hole dug I went under the fence and out the same hole. I headed for town. We lived about 3 blocks from where Dad worked at �Home Trading Store.� I never did get all the way to the store. Rita Haddican worked at the telephone office, she always managed to see me and called my Mother and she would send Gail to come and get me, but I kept trying. I can remember the year I got my red tricycle. My Dad played Santa Claus at the Methodist church that year. I can also remember the time I was baptized at the Episcopal church. The priest picked me up out of the pew, carried me under is are like a sack of potatoes to the fount. He sprinkled a cross on the top of my head, with water running all directions off my head. He carried me back and set me in the pew. I was 3 � or 4 years old. I think at the same time that my brothers and sisters were confirmed. (Bud, Gail, Burgess and Nadine.) I was wearing shoes with holes in the soles and to keep from getting my socks dirty or wear an extra hole in them I had made a card board insoles to wear until Dad had time to half sole them. (Sometimes when he half soled them he didn�t get all the tacks flattened and they stuck to your foot). So I learned how to use the shoe last and tack hammer to take care of these tacks that giving me trouble. Then thank God we staring buying �Glue On� rubber soles. The trouble with them was, sometimes they came loose at the toe, and to keep them from folding back on you when you walked, you learned to do a sort of �Goose Step� this slapped the sole back toward your shoe and if you were quick and got your foot down, it didn�t turn back on you to where you walked on it." My family was a close knit family, my folks wanted their kids to come home for Sunday dinner if they lived close enough to get there. If they lived 100 miles they came home on Saturday and spent the weekend. It was like a family reunion every Sunday. While I was still at home I helped Mom get ready for the weekend. We bakes cakes on Friday, picked chickens (Dad raised his own frying chickens). We went to the store and got the grocery shopping out of the way. Saturday Mom made pies, apple for Dad and cherry for Lee Kocher. On Sunday after dinner (during summer) we always made ice cream. Some of the son�-in-laws would go down to the ice house to get a block of ice. Someone would go to the garage and get the ice cream freezer and salt while Mom and some of the rest of us were in the kitchen. Mom made a vanilla pudding base for the ice cream. I made chocolate syrup (Ralph always had to have a choc syrup or some of Mom�s strawberry preserves on his ice cream). Nadine sometimes made apple dumplings. Gail got out the dishes and spoons. The block of ice was put in gunny sack and chopped by using the flat side of the axe, while some of the son-in-law�s took turns turning the crank, some of the kids took turns sitting on the freezer (on another gunny sack) to hold the freezer steady when the ice cream begin to freeze and the handle hard to turn. We sometimes went fishing on Sunday afternoons. One Sunday we brought home frog legs and lots of sun perch and had a big fish fry for supper. Those frog legs were weird jumping around the pan.

Wow........you sure went thru alot at a young age, Ann. Do you have the first picture of you, still? :o) xoxo Patti (Part 2) My first visit was to Grandma Jobes (Minnie Leamer Mears Jobe born 1876 and died August 1972) in Weatherford, Texas on Christmas Day. I was just under a month old. This was also the first time that a picture was taken of me. For my first Christmas, I got a green-satin dress, two rattlers, and a bottle nipple. (according to my Baby Book). The first years of my life were really ones of struggles and endurance. If it had not been the Lord's will and the aid of an experienced paediatrician, I would not be here now to tell you my story. This was a time of much sickness for me. During this time I spent most of my time either in a doctor's office of a hospital. In the beginning I was slow about gaining weight and had a calcium deficiency. To add to this I got strip throat which settled in my kidneys, what the doctors called nephritis. During this time, I would have a raging, scorching temperature, which would turn into convulsions if something was not done fast. Finally, though I did get better and even learned how to walk all over. During my early life Mommy and Daddy were separated most of the time. I lived with my mother and grandparents, Benjamin and Edna Davis. (grandpa Davis died in Feb 1956 and Granny in April 1981) After being separated off and on for quite a while, they went back together. It was during this time, that my sister was born. There was only 11 1/2 months between us. She was born in Grand Prairie in Dallas County where my grandparents lived - during one of the separations. I couldn't say Marian so she quickly became known as Sissy. (to be continued tomorrow)

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/letters_logan.html Memory Lane - Logan Jobe and Mary Saling Descendants "When I was 12 years old (this would be 1937) I had two jobs--a paper route and sweeping the school. I got $3 a week for the paper route and $1.25 a week for sweeping the school. I did both jobs for 4 years. So I made $4.25 a week which was more than some men were able to get then. A widow lady had opened a clothes shop in town to support herself and I went in and bought my mom (Florence Lavon Dale Jobe born 1909 and died 1980) a gingham dress for 98 cents. She knew my mom so she picked out the right size. I was so proud to give my mom that dress! The storeowner always remembered me buying my mom that dress, would mention it even into the late 1970's before she died--she always liked me and told me many times she wished I had married her daughter--ha! With those two jobs, I bought my own clothes and for my younger brother, too. I was able to help my parents and I was very proud to do it." Part 3 to be continued Christmas Week

Fascinating!!! Patti Patti, I was about 15-16 (probably grade 9 or 10 as had just gotten my first typewriter) when I wrote this, as soon after this, I 'stopped my own story' and started the 'big Jobe story' , but then I never did finish my own story. Yes, it really was my first name ( I have the original, the affidavit and the new one) and it was after the first thing that comes to your mind. And Daddy picked it out - actually gave her 'an order' to name me that. Daddy had been in Burma in the war and he liked the way they looked and acted. And if I had never started doing genealogy, I may have have never known - as she paid and had it officially changed during one of their many seperations, before I started to school, to Cora - saying I was named after my gt grandmother, Cora Handy Page. When I found out about her, after doing genealogy a while, I asked my mother how could you actually name me after 'this woman'. Again, my parents were seperated and this time I got the 'real story' with the papers. Since then though, I've found many in all branches of my family, and Cora is an old and very respected name - even if not used today very much or when used is spelled Corah. I've finally reached the point where the name doesn't bother me. Ann > LOL--sure enjoyed reading that, Ann!

This was sent in by Patti Jobe and I've divided it into 3 parts. Part 2 will be posted tomorrow or the next day and part 3 will be posted when the Christmas letters are posted. Hopefully, more will be added as time goes on. Thanks Patti! http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/letters_logan.html Memory Lane - Logan Jobe and Mary Saling Descendants Interview with Louis Preston Jobe, age 79, done by Patti Jobe, daughter-in-law in 2004 Talked About the Depression "In 1934, our situation was really bad. Dad (Oma Lewis Jobe born 1902 OK - died 1968 OK) couldn't find work, like so many others. He would cut wood, do odd jobs, anything at all to earn money. Often the thing that earned more money than anything else at the time was coonhunting and selling the pelts. We were so poor at this time that all we were eating was water biscuits and water gravy. The local dr--a family friend--told my dad that my brother and I were malnourished and we were going to starve to death if we didn't get some real food. There were 5 grocery stores in town at that time and Dad went to each one, asking for credit. No one would give him credit. He stopped back again at the first store, owned by Mr. Poulton, and told him that his boys were starving and he would do anything to get them some real food. Mr. Poulton must have felt sorry for him and gave him $5 credit. Dad got $5 of groceries, which was a lot of groceries then! He brought it home and we ate so much we felt sick! One week later a man came to town and bought 2 oil leases. He asked for a man to tend them and someone recommended Dad (Oma Jobe), for the job. Dad said he'd do it. He rode a horse to and from the oil leases, twice a day. In the morning he'd go hook one well on and unhook the other, as the engine could only power one well at a time. Then he'd go to the other oil lease and do the same. In the evening he'd go back and switch the wells. This way there was always one running day and night. In a month the owner came back and was so pleased that he bought Dad a 1928 Nash so he could drive to the oil leases instead of riding the horse, and gave him a check for $60. That was a fortune! Dad never went anywhere else but Mr. Poulton's Grocery after that, because he was the only one who gave him credit when he desperately needed it." Additional Details as told by Patti: Interesting notes about this!--the man who owned the oil leases was named Floyd Kinley. He moved to Sperry and lived across the road from the Jobe family before the Jobes moved into town. Floyd Kinley was son of Karl Kinley, and brother of Myron Kinley. Myron was known as the 'Grandfather of Oil Well Firefighting'. Karl and Myron were the first to use nitroglycerin to put out an oil fire in 1913. The MM Kinley Oil company, out of Houston TX, and their oil firefighting, were famous. After Oma started working for the Kinleys, his brothers soon followed and six of the Jobe brothers worked for the MM Kinley Company. John Jobe, Oma's brother, had an especially lucrative and interesting career, working with Red Adair. Red Adair started his career in the oil fields of Oklahoma, working for the Kinleys. When Myron retired, Red Adair started his own firefighting company in 1959 and was immortalized in the movies when John Wayne played Red Adair in "Hellfighters". Red Adair just died this August 2004. Floyd Kinley had a company north of Sperry called MidContinent Torpedo Company where they made the nitroglycerine bombs that they shipped all over the world for use in putting out oil well fires. Floyd was killed at a fire in 1937, his widow ran the nitro bomb company after his death.

MEMORY LANE - Descendants of Caleb Jobe and Martha Emily Brewer http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/letters_cale_j_brewer.html Written in 1968/1969 - (d/o Earl Jobe, gd/o Jesse W.

Worth, Texas Parts in (parenthesis) I added when I posted this (Dec 2004) "Birth - The Beginning of My Life" The circumstances surrounding my birth was a little strange, if not peculiar. My parents (daddy died in 1981) had been married two years and a month when the 'big event' arrived. At this time, they were living near my father's sister, Mrs. Viola (Jobe) Moore 'Auntie' (born 1913 and died 1980) in south Fort Worth, Texas. For this time of year, it was unusually cold and had already dipped below freezing. When the time came for me to be born, the radiator had busted on the car so my mother was driven to the hospital in my aunt's car. However, though everyone, including me, were ready for the big moment, the doctor was or hospital was not prepared. There had been a rash of accidents and they came first. After being shoved around for a while, the doctor, gave my mother a shot to postpone the birth. This did not suit any of us but was not much that could be done about it, but to abide by the doctor's wishes. He told my father to get my mother something to eat and make her walk. All day my mother just walked and walked that is between the bite of peanuts which no one could take away from her. On Sunday night, a day and a half since first arriving at the hospital, the pains started again. This time I was very determined and there was to be no postponing this time. Daddy and my aunt got tired of waiting and went to an all-night movie, As the World Stood Still. Just as they arrived back at the hospital, I had just been born - weighing in at seven pounds. The time was 8:08 AM on this cold November day. I was named Cobra Ann Jobe and this was recorded on my birth certificate. However, five years later, my mother would pay to have my first officially changed. To some the ordeal was over, but to my, life was just beginning and all the struggles, tribulations, and trials were still ahead somewhere in my future. At birth my hair was black, but started turning colors fast. By the time I was two years old, I was cotton-headed. However, the color was to change again - this time to a medium brown. My eyes were a deep-blue. I was twenty inches tall, though this was soon to change. Even at birth, I had a quick temper and a nervous nature. This was not to get any better. "Babyhood - First two years of my Life" ------------ (to be continued tomorrow) Ann (Jobe) Brown

As most of you know, I've always believed that genealogy was much more than just names, dates and locations. Yes these are extremely important, but most of us want to know more - something about these people we call Job(e) ancestors and cousins. This is why my notes are so-detailed on my gedcoms, the reason we have the records/photo and memorial albums. This was also why the tribute pages were started and these Memory Lane pages are being created. We do the best we can to really 'get to know' these people, their struggles, feelings, and the times in which they lived. And even though the years have gone on - sometimes I have to wonder, How much has really changed? *First of all special thanks to those who have sent in 'their Christmas story or the story of one of their relatives.' We do now have several and I hope to get a few more in the next few days. Will begin getting these posted starting in a week. Meanwhile, THIS WEEK, I'll be posting a few that do not specifically relate to Christmas. I just found a 7 page double-spaced typed 'autobiography' that I wrote of my life in 1968-1969 from my birth to when I finished grade 5. I'm going to be dividing it into 7 parts and posting one part a day. The first part will be in a following letter. I'm going to leave as much as possible the way that I, as 16-17 year wrote and remembered it at 'that time'. There would be very few people mentioned who would still be living today. Also, This week, I'll be posting some of the interview that Patti did with her father-in-law - though I'll be leaving the 'Christmas part' until the Week after. The one letter that was on Elisha's page has now been moved to a new Memory Lane page just for Joseph W. Jobe and Catharine Buress descendants. Logan Jobe descendants will soon be getting their 'own memory lane page'. Remember all the links to these Memory Lane pages can be found on the main links page - under the proper lineage. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe.html Since I didn't have a page started for my own group, figured it was about time that I started something. As time goes, I'll try to add more things to it. **Now I do ask, when you reply to these or any of the Christmas letters to the list, that you delete as much as possible of the previous letter that you're replying to - since some of the letters will be a bit longer than some 'usual letters' to the list. Some of them will be posted to the list in parts! Ann (Jobe) Brown

Just a reminder, I need the Christmas stories for the Memory Lane pages (especially those that tell of a Christmas 1960 or before) - NOW to get them posted in time. The ones about later Christmas you can post yourself between December 20-December 27th. For example, we have letters or interviews from Freida's mother, who is now 80, and one from Patti's father-in-law, who is 79. Now some of you have older parents, aunts, uncles or even grandparents - Job(e) descendants, of course, - that you can "INTERVIEW' and write a short paragraph (or more) and send to me (personally at [email protected] ) of some of their early Christmas memories. So bake some cookies, make a card and take a pen and notebook and head to the nursing home or take a short break and visit that elderly Job(e) relative. Get them talking about Christmas and you might be surprised what they have to say. And if they get off the subject - just keep right on recording! >grin< You might even get 'your best Christmas gift ever'. Just remember to let me know how the person that you interviewed or whoever the story is about or yourself is connected to the Job(e) family. Ann *Jobe) Brown
