The Pools and the Pattersons moved out from Oklahoma together in 1933. Rather, my grandfather Hayden Pool brought out my Grandmother Ethel Patterson and their Inlaws Bill Patterson and Marion Pool. Like a lot of the dust bowl "Okies" they came and did farm labor in a town called Greenville, Ca.. That is where Bill Patterson died and was buried and where my Mom was born. My grandfather Hayden worked as a coal miner. His brother, Howard Rutledge Pool was killed in the 1912 coal mine explosion in McCurtain, Oklahoma. When they first came to California, Hayden worked as a farm worker, then owned a penny arcade and traveled with the carnival, owned a photography studio in Oakland, and finally worked in a lumber yard in San Jose. He loved fishing and Hayden and Ethel owned a vacation place up in Clearlake, where they would take all us grand kids fishing. Hayden had an in-ground concrete worm farm in his back yard and also raised crickets for fishing bait. Hayden's dad, Marion Sparks Pool, also settled in San Jose and is buried in Santa Clara.His death certificate lists his mother as Mansafee Thunderbirk. Census records indicate she was born in 1840 in Alabama.
