The picture of Cynthia Jane Webb Jobe in her later years is rare. You can see that she is leaning on the post as she stands on the porch to have her photo taken. For most of her later years she was bedridden.

  William Harvey writes:

  HV Jobe learned to count from 1-10 in Choctaw when he was a boy living in the Choctaw Nation. In later life he wrote down this transcription of the numbers he had learned, probaly orally.

  It is interesting to look up the Choctaw numbers on the Internet and see how closely the words used by the choctaw today match the words written down by HV Jobe from his childhood recollection.

  1893-1895-1896 H. V. Jobe Poll Tax Receipts

  William Harvey writes:

  The Poll Tax receipts are a real piece of American History. Poll Taxes were part of the Jim Crow laws intended to keep African Americans from voting. Poll Taxes were outlawed by the Voting Rights Act of 1964 (which, no doubt, would have pleased HV Jobe who was a political progressive).

  1895 US Marshall letter - acknowledges HV Jobe's resignation

  William Harvey writes:

  The US Marshall letter acknowledges HV Jobe's resignation of his commission as a deputy US Marshall. Note that he served under "Hanging Judge Parker," a famous figure of the Old West, and more on Parker can be found on Wikipedia and other sites on the Internet. When HV Jobe died, he was still possessed of the Colt Revolver he had worn as a US Marshall. My Mother said she remembered seeing that gun as a kid and that it was quite a sight. I understand that HUgh D. Jobe donated the gun to the Comboy Museum in Oklahoma, but I have never verified that.

  TO THE VOTERS OF
  ROGER MILLS COUNTY, GREETING;

  H. V. Jobe, the nominee of the Socialist party for sheriff, was born and lived 30 years in Ark. He was elected constable in 1894 and re-elected in 1896 and served one year. He served two years as deputy sheriff, and one year as deputy United States marshall for the Western District of Ark. He came to Okla in 1897 and to Roger Mills county in 1907. In 1900 he was given a recommendation from old friends in Ark. signed by farmers, doctors, merchants, lawyers, county clerk, county judge, county treasurer, ex-sheriff, ex-prosecuting attorney, prosecuting attorney, district judge and state senator, high recommending him as a citizen, and as an officer in doing his duty. This is the man the Socialist party is asking you to elect as sheriff of Roger Mills County in the coming election in November, the man that believes in letting the office seek the man, and not the man seek the office?

  Committee

  William Harvey writes:

  The Sheriff Voter Card shows that HV Jobe was a Socialist. He maintained that affiliation throughout his later life. He became acquainted with several luminaries of the Socialist Party in the US including Eugene Debs and Norman Thomas.

  Mother Mine
  Mother mine so tender and true,
  There's naught on earth more dear than you.
  Fond memories round you will ever cling,
  Like the fragrance of violets in balmy spring.
  Your hallowed presence I see from afar,
  Like the radiance of the evening star.
  On memories ear I hear again,
  Your gentle voice in a sweet refrain,
  Caroling once more a living strain.
  And the waking echoes bring a sweet sad pain,
  Fond memories of you will ever stay,
  Around the path to the end of the way.
  To cheer my heart if the road be steep,
  To dry my tears if I should weep.
  Thus I thank God for a mother's love,
  So near the infinite that rules above.
  

  Mrs. Garner was unable to be with her mother when the end came, due to ill health, and the above composition was read at the funeral by Lee Jobe, nephew of Mrs. Jobe.

  Obituary

  Hugh Volney Jobe was born January 16, 1869 at Prairie Grove Arkansas. He was united in marriage to Cynthia Webb. To this union were born five children, four of whom survive him; his wife and eldest son preceded him in death.

  While living in Arkansas he served as Deputy United States Marshall. In 1899 he came to Oklahoma where he homesteaded in Dewey County and established a post office in Webb.

  He was converted and united with the Webb Baptist church and was later ordained by that church for the ministry.

  Mr. Jobe moved from Dewey County to Missouri where he lived for a short time, moving back to Oklahoma in 1906, settling northeast of Strong City. He later moved into Strong City and went into the real estate business.

  In 1946 he moved to Taloga which was to him the scene of many early memories, including the fording of the South Canadian river to reach the county seat.

  Mr. Jobe departed this life Saturday October 13, 1951 at the Community Hospital in Elk City at the age of 82 years and 10 months.

  Surviving him are Mrs. Fidela Gardner of Willow Springs, Missouri; Mrs. Fred Adams of Omaha, Nebraska; Hugh Jobe, of San Antonio, Texas; Mrs. Susie Thompson of Elk City; eight grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and many, many friends.

  H. V. Jobe died at the Elk City community hospital at 12 noon Saturday where he had been a patient for nearly two weeks.

  Mr. Jobe had a sudden heart attack on October 1 while at his home in Taloga. He was taken to the Elk City hospital within a few hours where he remained in a serious condition till the time of his death. He developed hiccoughs with his ailment which treatments failed to stop.

  Mr. Jobe moved to Taloga in 1946. Being an active man physically, he took great interest in civic work. The credit for city water works goes to him starting the project again. He also played a big part in the organization of the Dewey County community hospital. He worked untiringly for any project in which he was interested.

  He was also active in the Odd Fellows lodge.

  Mr. Jobe had been a member of the town board for the past six years, serving as mayor most of the time.

  Funeral services were held in the Baptist church at 2:30 p.m. Monday at Strong City. Rev. H. L. Janes of the Elk City Baptist Church was in charge.

  The Taloga Odd Fellows had charge of the services at the cemetery. Those who attended the funeral were Frank Meyer, Fuzz Freeman, Elmer Davis, John Fairchild, William Wells of Taloga; Wilson Cofer and Enoch Hargis of Seiling and Jack Richardson of Camargo.

   The one on the left is a fabric doll with a store bought head, called the Swedish girl. The middle doll is like a normal doll and shoes that you would get in the store, but Elizabeth hand sewed the two dresses, a bonnet, and underwear. The third doll, a little black girl was one that Elizabeth again bought only the head, and hand carved in wood the arms and legs, and made a fabric body. She then also hand sewed the top, yellow jacket, and pants. I am not sure which doll the apron belongs too.

   6. Annabeth Gardner

      --b. January 23, 1923 Boyero, Colorado
      --d. February 9, 1926 Jasper Co., Missouri
      ----buried Pittsburgh, Kansas
      

      Though the death certificate says Fidella as 1st name, it does say daughter. Bill Harvey sent a poem that Lizzie wrote of daughter, Annabeth, who died in February 1926. I believe this death certificate that I found has to be for this child.

   William Harvey writes:

   Jettie Adams was a painter and made dozens of oil paintings during the latter part of her life. Lee Jobe and Dave Will on horseback were the subject of one such painting. She indicated on the back of the painting that the photo was taken in about 1915.

   I believe Dave Will was a friend or co-worker of Lee Jobe. I don't know anything else about him.

   Robert Gardner was nephew of Fidella Gardner, husband of Lee's sister, Lizzie.

   Mary Jane (Adams) Harvey wrote to son, William in 2002:

   "My mother had a brother named Lee. As a young man he was rather bored with life on the farm in Western Oklahoma and went off to be a cowboy in Wyoming.While he was way out west WWI broke out and he enlisted. He served in France and after the war served some time in the Army of Occupation. Grandma had silk handkerchiefs he sent from France and postcards. Bill you may have those. If not I'm sure Cindy does. He never made it back to Oklahoma. After returning to the states he drifted around and finally married. There is a letter from him in Grandma J's things. He wrote it to his mother promising to come see her. One of my earliest memories is going to the mailbox with my mother and getting a letter telling of his death in Washington State in a fire. It's one of the only times I ever saw my mother cry. Seems they lived in an apartment and it caught on fire. They got out safely and he went back in to rescue his wartime souvenirs and died of smoke inhalation. I think he is buried in Hoquiam, Washington, and I believe Aunt Lizzie corresponded with his widow for many years. Grandma Jobe was never told of his death. Because of her health, she was always shielded from many things."

   William Harvey (March 2009) writes:

   There is a WWI draft registration for a Lee Jobe born in Cheyenne, Oklahoma and living in Wyoming, and birthdate is 01 Jun 1893 instead of 01 Jun 1894 that we have, but it may be our Lee. It says "enlisted" across the top of the form, which would match the story that our Lee went to war in France.
