How
Fullford lost an "L" - story from Ruby Fulford
Jewett's
father, John Fullford was a wealthy man, with quite a
lot of land, that he divided evenly among his children. Jewett was the oldest son, and since his brother,
Earl, was the baby of the family, Jewett ended
up doing most of the work. When John
divided the
land evenly among his children, Jewett was somewhat
irked by this gesture, thinking he deserved the
lion's share. Jewett eventually went to
the county
courthouse to make the transaction legal and when he
filled out the forms he chose to drop an "L" from
his last name. All he said was
"the name sounds the
same with one "L" or two - seems like the extra "L"
isn't necessary, is it."
Jewett
bought land that adjoined the land his father gave
him for only $1,000 - its owner couldn't pay the backtaxes
he owed the Bank of Steeleville, that's why Jewett
got such a good price.
Jewett
died of a stroke while baling hay.
He
married Lottie MANSKER, daughter of Herman Cole MANSKER
& Mary Catherine KINNISON. Born 16 Dec 1885. Died 22
Dec 1975.
After
Jewett died, Lottie worked with the WPA (Work Projects
of America). The WPA was established during the
Depression - Lottie helped new mothers, making meals
and keeping house.
After
all the kids were grown and gone, Lottie moved to
town, in the house across from the Chester high school. To earn a living she baby sat and kept boarders. Meanwhile her son, Art, and his wife, Ruby, lived
at the old homeplace and tried to make a go of the
farm. Ruby worked at the shoe factor
and Art and Ruby's
son, Richard, was one of the children that Lottie
babysat.
