Byron worked in the gold mines, and Jesse was a public school teacher. Jesse's mother was born in Louisiana, and her father was born in Wisconsin. In 1930, the couple lived in Oakland.

"Friends and acquaintances will please accept my heartfelt thanks for their many acts of kindness and sympathy in my sorrow over the loss of my little Archie." AUGUSTUS OGDEN.
