Notes for JOBIE JASON WARD:

In 1945 Jobie was nearly drafted into the military to fight in WWII.  He was given an exemption because of the large family he supported.

In 1946 Jobie built his family their own house at Red Bay, Walton Co., Florida but it was not until 1949 that they had electricity in their home.

One by one the older children married and moved away. From 1947 to 1950 Cleatus was in the army.  It was in 1950 that Vivian and Donald began the family migration by moving to Grays Harbor County, Washington.

In 1953 Ruby and Lenard followed Vivian and Donald to Washington. Bill came soon after.   That same year Myrtie gave birth to a stillborn second child.

Myrtie made a New Years resolution in 1954 . She kept it by quiting using snuff.
On Friday, July 17, 1954  Jobie quit his job at the sawmill and that night packed up  the family members still at home (Myrtie, Jim and Saddie) and moved to Washington to find a better life. The adjustment proved difficult and on October
18 of the same year they returned to Red Bay, Florida.

In 1955 Bill and Barbie were married in Washington. Jobie and Myrtie moved with their children to stay in Melbourne, Florida with Bill and Ruth Odom the brother and sister-in-law of Jobies late first wife Bobbie Lee Odom Ward. Myrtie got a job for a family named Von Reisen housekeeping and babysitting for $4. a day.  Jobie was hired as a supply clerk by Pan American World Services at Patrick Air Force Base. Bill, Barb, Gerald and Dallas visited Florida on a vacation. Ruby and Lenard brought their growing family back to Florida but stayed only until the following April when they returned to Washington.  In 1957 Ruby and Lenard bought their property in Malone, Washington. Gerald and Mary were married in April of that year.

One of the favorite family photos was taken in 1958 showing Ruby, Barb and Vivian all pregnant, Jesse B. was also pregnant at the same time. Soon Larry, Cathi, Donna and John Alan were all born.

In 1959 Bill and Barb moved to Malabar and set up a small trailer house in the orange grove at Jobie and Myrties house. Jobie and Myrtie were very upset when Barb did laundry on Sunday. Myrtie wasn't very happy when she received a phone call from Melbourne High School informing her that Jim had dropped out of school in the 12th grade.

Two or three times in 1962 Jobie and Myrtie went to hear Jim playing in a rock and roll band in Orlando and Cocoa, Florida.  Jim entered the army on July 17, 1963. While he was in Korea Jobie and Myrtie along with Bill and Barb and their kids all took a vacation to Washington. All the kids had measles while on the trip.

Jim got out of the Army in 1965 and rented a house with his now divorced brother Dallas, The house was 212 S. Babcock St (later 2304 S. Babcock) in Melbourne. This is the same house where Jim and his wife Dianne would live when their two children were born.

On February 3, 1967 Dallas and Jim held a Silver Anniversary party for Myrtie and Jobie at the house on Babcock St. A week later Jim married Dianne Larson. Later that year Vivian and Donald sold their house on Baldwin Street in Aberdeen, Washington and moved to Florida but they soon returned to purchase the house at 805 West Cushing St. in Aberdeen.  That would be the house where Jim and Dianne raised their children  after moving to Washington.

In 1969 Jobie and Myrtie decided to moved to Washington after Jobies future retirement.  In 1970 Bill built the trailer for Jobie and Myrties planned move. In November of 1971 Barb and Bill moved to Washington and purchased their house in Porter. Everyone then worked to prepare one of the little houses Lenard and Ruby owned for Jobie and Myrties coming retirement. On Febrary 25, 1972 Jobie retired after 17 years with Pan Am. On March 11 he and Myrtie arrived to begin their new life in Malone, Washington. On the trip Jobie had spoken on the phone with his brother Alvin whom he had not seen since 1926 when Alvin was married. November 16, 1972 Jim, Dianne and their two children arrived to begin their own new life in Washington.

In 1973 A big 31st anniversary party was held for Jobie and Myrtie at Ruby and Lenards house.  Ruby presented them with a satin quilt with  handprints and names of all the family members on it. Now that both Jobie and Myrtie are gone Ruby has the quilt. For the following anniversary the wives fixed box lunches and the husbands bought them in an auction.

Jobie loved the garden in the back yard and having his family close again. 1980 brought the first of many annual family reunions to Jobies family.  Held the first Saturday each August, the reunion became an eagerly awaited event and was probably Jobies favorite day of the year. In 1985 Saddie planned it herself to be held at the Elma VFW complete with a one man band.  Saddie danced and Jobie and Myrtie glowed. That same year  a big family dinner was held at the Pioneer restaurant in Montesano. Saddie died the following year.

The following years found Jobie and Myrtie in failing health and  caregivers, mostly family members, coming to help in their day to day life. In 1991 Cleatus and Jessie B. came from Florida for the first and only  reunion  with all Jobie and Myrties children present. In 1992 a huge 50th anniversary party was held at the McCleary VFW. The whole family pitched in with preparations like decorations, a beautiful formal cake made by Mary, and a slide show of family history by Dianne.

Myrtie died in April  of 1995 and Jobie followed her in July of the same year.  They are buried  side by side not far from Saddie and Bill Lemmon in the cemetery in Elma, Washngton.
