Herb lied about his age. He was only 15 when he went into the military. The answer he gave to explain entering the service was great.

I laugh every time I see this photo of my father. He was a handsome man who worn his clothing well and was pretty confident. This photo is so foreign to his nature. He was tall and slim and the uniform is a poor fit with sleeves much too short and the coat too tight. He was 17. He lied about his age to enter the service.

Part of my father Herbert Earp's Story

Shortly after this photo was made, my father, Herbert Earp, started singing a song to me. He had a wonderful singing voice. I heard the song several times a day from 1931 until he died in 1937. The song became part of me and I still can hear his voice and I can remember every word. It goes like this: "Little girl when Daddy goes away, promise you'll be good from day to day. Do what Mother says and never fear. Be there when your mother needs you near. Daddy didn't have an easy start, so this is the wish that's in my heart. What I couldn't be, little girl. I want you to be, little girl. I'm putting my faith and my hopes all in you, to do all the things that your dad could not do. I pray every night, little girl. That you'll turn out right little girl. If some day you should be on a new daddy's knee, don't forget about me, Little girl." con't

Shirley age about 2, 1933. During the depression, and a professional photo. Wow. Jewelry, beautiful dress and white shoes.

By this time my dad knew for certain he had tuberculosis and he continued singing his song.

"What I couldn't be, little girl, I want you to be, little girl. I want you to sing, and to laugh and to play, and be good to mother while daddy's away. I pray every night, little girl, that you'll turn out right, little girl. So till we met again, Heaven knows where, or when, pray for me now and then, little girl."

Big responsibility for a little girl. I do not know if he guessed that repeating this message, over and over would stick with me for all of my so-far 84 years. But it did. I turned out to be an overachiever, and obsessed always with taking care of my mother. And yes, I really did call her "Mother" not, mama, mom, etc, but Mother. Things he wanted for me was a good education, got that. 22 years of schooling. Good job, got that. Wanted me to sing, and I do, but not so good, in that area.

Shirley about age 4
Still during the depression and getting nice photographs. Aunt Mary Garland Hulvey made this dress.

Time with my father was growing shorter. In only a little more than a year he would be gone. This is the picture that he had next to his bed. The health department sent him to a tuberculosis sanatorium and Mother's promise to him was that she would sing his song to me. From about this time until his death, my mother would be in a rocking chair with me on her lap and every night she would sing his song to me. He did come home before his death and he did sing again and it was wonderful cause now Mother and Daddy were singing it together.

Signed Shirley June Earp Mahurin
