MEMOIRS - Forrest Edward Gowen: *************************** In 1925 Wardner lost his farm at North Loup due to difficult financial times that happened to farmers at that time. He sold everything and moved his family to Florida for a year, then moved his family back to North Loup. There, he worked at various occupations - trucking; farming work; collecting, buying, and selling junk; trapping, buying and selling furs; anything to earn a dollar. During the summer of 1934, in 'search of greener pastures', the family moved from North Loup to Washington. There, the family worked in the fruit harvest and hop harvest until the work slowed down in the winter. Then they moved west, over the mountains to Anacortes; during this time the depression was in full swing and work was scarce. There, he worked in various lumber and shingle mills, and, in the cannery as a temporary worker until the family finally had to depend on W.P.A. when there wasn't work enough to keep food on the table. In 1936 Wardner moved his family to Avenal in Fresno County, California where he established a plumbing business which he operated until his health condition forced his retirement. Wardner and Veda resided at Avenal until his death. ************************* COALINGA - 1 August 1957: ********************* Ward Earl Gowen died Monday, July 29 in the Coalinga District Hospital.
