~~ MY PATERNAL GRANDPA ~~
BIRTHDAY - JUNE 30
ANGEL DAY - MARCH 17
James Draper Herbert was married to Minnie Thompson Herbert.
James and Minnie had five children:
Fred Herbert, WWII, Marines
Lemon Lee Herbert, WWII, Navy
Everett Roscoe Herbert, WWII, Navy
Pauline Herbert Norris
John Henry Herbert, died in infancy in my Grandma's arms, Scarlett fever.
James Draper was the son of J.W. Herbert, and Mary Jane Reed Herbert.
Draper worked as a laborer at the Mfg. Clay Products, Dickey Clay Mfg. Company, near Wheatland, Hickory County, Missouri.
My Grandpa Herbert died at the young age of 28. My Grandma had very recently given birth to their fifth child, John Henry. They lived out in the country, in Hickory County, Missouri. During a snowstorm my Grandpa saw his neighbor laying in the snow. My Grandpa did not know there was a live power line laying in the snow, and that it had killed his neighbor. My Grandpa tried to help his neighbor. The electricity ran through his neighbor, and through my Grandpa, killing him as well. It was a horribly sad and tragic time. My Grandma was left with five very young children. About nine months later, the baby, John Henry, died in Grandma's arms. They think he died from rheumatic or scarlet fever. Grandma never ever recovered from losing the love of her life, my Grandpa, and their infant son. They are all together now in Heaven. After Grandpa Herbert was killed, Grandma only had squirrels and roots to feed her children. I can remember hearing Grandma telling s stories, but never complaining about all of the hardships she was forced to endure. She Always praised God in everything.
Throughout the years, my Dad, Everett Roscoe Herbert, talked about his Dad. He grieved for his Dad, even into his senior years. My Grandma remarried. That person was a vicious monster. He beat my Grandma , my Dad, and my Herbert uncles. He was physically, emotionally, and mentally abusive. Because of the abusive conditions to the Herbert children as well - my Dad, and my two uncles went to live with their Herbert Grandparents....my great-grandparents. Grandma feared for her life, and the lives of her children. It was a very tragic and sad time. The dark depressions years were horrible enough, but women had no rights or anywhere to turn for help in abusive situations. It haunts me forever.
Rest in Heavenly Peace, my beautiful family. I love each one of you so much. I can't wait until we are all together in Heaven forever.
Grandpa, I always used to sit and look at the big picture of you that Grandma always had hanging on her wall. You were so very handsome. Dad looked exactly like you, and so does my brother, Donel. In your picture I can also see in your face the wonderful man of integrity you were, loving, kind, compassionate, a great sense of humor. You passed all of those beautiful traits to Dad, Uncle Fred, Uncle Herb, and Aunt Pauline......and down to all of us, your grandchildren. We had such a beautiful, close, and fun family. So much love, laughter, and fun. It all began with you and Grandma. I love you so much, Grandpa ❤️
Your granddaughter, Lynne Herbert ❤️
