Bio
Jessie was born on March 28th, 1909, and grew up in a very large family of twelve siblings and half-siblings. The family farmed for a living as many did at that time and Jessie attended Shelbyville High School but did not graduate. On October 16th, 1940, Jessie registered for the first peacetime military draft in the history of the United States. At age 33, he completed his registration card in Precinct 2 of Shelby County, and it noted his address as Route 1, Shelbyville; he was a United States Citizen; married; and was employed as a farm laborer. Physically, Jessie was described as of the white race, five foot eight inches tall, 130 pounds, with blue eyes and black hair. He listed a three-inch scar on the right side of his stomach as a physical characteristic that would aid in identification. On Christmas Day of 1942, and one year following the United States' entry into World War II, Jessie and Miss Verna Lou Moore were wed in Shelby County. Jessie enlisted in the US Navy on October 2, 1943, and the book "The Men and Women in World War II from Shelby County" noted he 'entered Navy in 1943, training in Corpus Christi, and was discharged in 1945 [October 5]. Seaman Second Class'. These dates are confirmed by the Department of Veterans Affairs Death File found on Ancestry.com. Following the war, he returned to his wife Verna in Shelby County where they farmed and raised a daughter and four sons. Jessie died at the age of 83 on March 20th, 1993, in Nacogdoches, Texas and following funeral services at Mangum Funeral Home he was buried in the New Hope Cemetery, Center, Texas where Verna joined him in 2017. Day is done, God is nigh.
