He was born in 1913 and enlisted in the Navy where he was a SeaBee in WWII. Francis (b: 1916) told the story of trying to enlist with Slim, but he could not pass the physcal (too skinny) and he enlisted in the Army. In 1944 Slim was in Australia, as a SeaBee, at the same time Francis Jerrett was there training with the First Cav Div. Thank you Ginny, I enjoyed the email you sent; it brought back wonderful memories.

I am looking for "Slim" from Dilley, in the 1930s. Who is/was he? My dad was Francis Jerrett of Dilley, he graduated from FG Union HS in 1934. I am trying to locate "Slim" who would have lived in or near Dilley and this story would have taken place during the Depression. Francis Jerrett and a friend, who probably was "Slim," worked to help support their families. Slim and Francis were two teenage boys who each acquired $2.50 and together they would buy a tree for $5.00 from a farmer who needed the money. Using only hand tools, the two teens would log the tree and it into cord wood, deliver it and collect $10.00 by selling the wood to several people. Each one took half, $5.00 of the $10.00. Each boy gave his family $2.50 and each would then contribute his remaining $2.50 to buy another tree from a farmer and do it all over again. These two were loggers, they had to know how to climb, cut, lower, fell, skills that I know my dad learned some place other than do-it-yourself-school. Francis's one and two man saws are in my home where they are family history, hanging and waiting to have the name of the second pair of hands added to them. .. any help with "Slim's" name?

Julian and Lottie had six children of which five are known: Alice b. ca1907 married abt 1929 to L.R. Starnes. Rosa b. ca1909 Mandie b. ca1910 Helen b. ca1914 Vivian R. b. ca1918 When Julian and Lottie first came to Oregon they settled in Forest Grove, Washington County. In 1927 Washington County Court committed Lottie to the Oregon State Insane Asylum. The cause of her "insanity" was "epilepsy." She appears to have died in Marion County, Oregon in 1950. I lose Julian after August 1927 except for a mention of his applying for a pension in 1930/33 against his service in the Spanish-American War. Of their children I have them as far as: Alice and L.R. Starnes were living at 806 Todd Street Portland in the 1930 census. L.R. Starnes was b.ca1892 in Arkansas and in 1930 he was a gas maker for the gas company. In their household was Alice's sister Helen Hallett. Sister Vivian R. was age 12 in the 1930 census living as a boarder in the household of Hattie Lawrence in Portland. Julian was born in Iowa in 1875 and died in CA in 1953. I would like to connect with descendants and/or researchers of this family. Vicky

Figuring this just about had to be Lotta's mother, I poked around a bit more. California death index states that Lillie B Kelsey, maiden name Duke, born 26 Oct 1866 Iowa, died 20 Nov 1954, Placer County, CA. Mother's maiden name was Burge. 1910 Federal Census of South Dakota, Lawrence County, Terry TWP, ED 38, page 27, sheet 5A, household 93, family 102.
