He was the second child born June 6, 1917 in Henderson, Iowa to Edwin Alda & Bessie Edith (Brown) Brown and was named after his mother's mid-wife Jean and her husband Jesse. He received his education in the Henderson Consolidated School. During his teen years, between school terms, he worked with his father in his interior/exterior decoration business. He worked as an extra in many of the stores in Henderson. He enjoyed nature, trees and streams. Besides his hobby of strolling through the woods, he liked to walk along the river looking for small pieces of petrified wood on the sandbars. His greatest find was a 10 lb. Bone which was later identified at the NE. Univ. Museum in Lincoln as the first vertebrae below the skull of the wooly mammoth elephant. It was about 2/3 buried in the sand. In due time it was donated to the Mills County Museum, where it is displayed behind glass along with other prehistoric animal bones. During Jesse's younger years, he composed this poem: Nature's Playground April, to me, is a grand time of the year, with its green grasses, rambling vines and birds with their cheer. I can walk in the woods midst violets and wild flowers and happily spend moments or many hours. I like to wander toward the babbling blue brook with my camera, pole, fish line and hook. It looks a shame from the brook to take trout, but if that they weren't meant I wouldn't take out. Going back to the woods, all in a whirl, to try to locate that chatter from a squirrel. High in a cottonwood, perched on a knot, one will find this squirrel, the size of a dot. Nature's playground to many means nothing at all, in winter, spring, summer or fall. We might be better off if not quite so blind, if we gave more thought to God's gift to mankind. Jesse accepted Christ as his personal Savior in 1948, and was baptized by the late William Lee. He also served as a church deacon in Henderson and Glenwood Christian Churches. He was turned down for military duty and went to school and served as an aircraft inspector for Glenn L. Martin Co. during WWII. He served as a volunteer fireman for 15 years in Henderson and the Glenwood State Resource Center. Prior to moving to Glenwood, he worked as a parts man in a farm equipment store in Henderson. He was a Sunday School Superintendent at his home church in Henderson, district Grand Master one year in the Iowa IOOF Odd Fellows Lodge, assistant boy scout master of the troop in Henderson, former secretary to the Mills County Volunteer Fireman's Assoc., and served as the church board chair person at the First Christian Church in Glenwood for one year. He retired from Glenwood State Hospital School in 1981, having worked there for 27 years. It was there that he met his future wife, Edna Cook, to whom he married March 22, 1958. They had no children. He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters and wife. HE is survived by a nieces, Dortha (Dottie) Crepeaux and husband Gordon of Ellenton, FL; many second cousins, friends and a very close friend, Kim Roberts, who he considered as a daughter pro-tem.
