Henrietta Jesse oral history recording Part 1
Description
Henrietta Jesse oral history recording Part 1. During this interview with Henrietta she starts by reflecting on her life growing up in Banks, Oregon. She was raised on a farm that grew many different grains, vegetables and fruits to provide for the family of thirteen. As a child she would go to school until she was able to pass the seventh grade state test and not have to go to school until she decided to return for high school. When her siblings and her were not in class they would be working seasonal jobs or helping neighbors with everything from taking care of the small children or maintaining the farm. In 1930 there were very few stores in the town, with the most important being the Atlas store; a general store with a sewing supply store above. Her father was heavily involved in politics, being one of the very few Democrats in Banks. Interview is hard to hear, with background static and soft voices while also cutting out at 2:10 for a second, 4:02, 8:46, 32:50.
