My Brother Jerome
by Melba Currey, December 1994
Over the years I have many special memories of Jerome-- he was always there in
time of need and for support.
Whenever there is a family of five children we can feel fortunate that we were
together for 81 years. Our family enjoyed a close relationship with one
another and for this we can be thankful for, many times over.
Jerome will always be remembered by his family and friends as someone who went
the extra mile without asking why, or for any recognition. An honest, friendly
and gracious man who lived a comfortable and uncomplicated life, will be held
in our hearts forever.
Jerome was a man who never said an unkind word about anyone; nor did he ever
utter a word of complaint. His compassion for others and integrity was an
inspiration to all who knew him.
His eminent presence will be incredibly missed by his family and friends and
all those lives he touched without knowing.
So this is our "Goodbye Jerome", we will miss you terribly; but will always be
proud for having had you for our brother.

Jerome wrote these few lines about himself for "25 Years of Garfield County High
School, 1914 thru 1939."
After I left school [1934] I worked on the ranch with my father, later I bought
my present ranch. I married Edna Hawkinson and we raised cattle, sheep and feed
grains. Edna passed away and later I married Beulah O'Conner. We have a home in
Jordan but I still have my ranch. I just have cattle now as the coyotes got
to taking the profit from the sheep so I sold them. I have always enjoyed being
a rancher.
