"James Paul and Ruth Mildred, twins, were born July 1, 1892, on the Aunt Lou Kern Farm, near La Harpe, Ill. Ruth died February 12, 1893.
We moved to Estelline, South Dakota, in 1907, when Paul was 14 years old, and he finished high school in Estelline. Paul attended Business College in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and graduated in bookkeeping. He was in limited service during World War I, stationed first in Fremont, Calif., and then at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., where he received an honorable discharge in Dec. 1918. He makes his home with us in Idaho Falls."
