Hicksey Caroline JolleyRESIDENCES: Carol Rayborn of Baker, OR
RECOLLECTIONS: Rememberances
I remember Uncle Elijah Conger. He lived in Utah and my mother would go there to visit him. I remember Aunt Era who lived in Nevada. My mother would go there to visit her. My oldest sister, Agnes had the middle name of Era after my Aunt Era. My sister, Agnes, married Ray Hogg. I remember Aunt Agnes who lived in Utah and Uncle John Jay. My brother, John Jay, was named for him.I remember Grandpa Conger. He rode the bus to Rupert, Idaho and walked from the bus stop to our farm. I was about 5 years old when he came the first time and I was hanging on the fence. He came over and asked me if this was where Ezra Jolley lived and I told him it was. He had fiery red hair and was not a very tall man. My mother said he was Welsh and Irish. He was a jolly type of guy.
I remember HixAnn Mitchell. Her real name was Hicksey Ann Clementine Mitchell. She married William Jonas Conger. They lived un at Albion, Idaho on the south side of Burley. I was born in Albion and Lula Mae, my younger sister, was born in Albion. She was called "Rusty" because of her fiery red hair. Agnes went to school in Albion. She was 10 years older than I was. Agnes is 95 years old now and I will be 85 years old next April.
Since my birthday was on April Fools Day my mother always had buttermilk setting in front of my plate for breakfast. She knew I didn't like buttermilk, but she thought that was a good April Fools joke.
When my mother, Ezra, was growing up in Alabama, her grandparents lived on one side of the woods and her parents lived on the other side of the woods. She would go through the woods to get from one place to the other. Bootleggers were all over at that time and they had set up a still in the woods. They dumped the fermented sour mash in a gulley in the woods and a bunch of pigs found it and ate it all up. When Ezra came through the woods here was this bunch of pigs staggering and running around in circles, drunk as could be. She often said she wondered if the people who ate those pigs realized that they were eating bootlegger pork.
Mother once said that Grandpa Conger had six wives, all at different times, and his wives kept dying on him. I remember one named, Molly, I believe. He lived to be 96 years old. He used to love to dance and every Friday night would go to the square dances. He drove a car right up until he died. He died in a car accident on a Friday night coming from a dance. He was coming out of a side road onto a main highway and a big freight truck collided with him and he died. This was before I was married and I was married in 1934.
Ezra was real religious and used to have my brother, Bill, drive her to church in the Model A Ford. "Rube," my dad, was also religious when he was younger but as he got older he didn't go to church much. Ezra saw that the girls went to church also.
Rube Jolley was an alcoholic and he would come home after drinking most of the night and not be able to find the gate to the house. Ezra would go out and lead him into the house. He had a fiery temper and would use a whip on me if I crossed him in any way. There was an old shed in the yard and sometimes he would lock me in that shed while he went to get his whip. He would whip me across the back, but I would never let him see me cry.
When I did somthing Ezra didn't like she would say, "You are just like your Pa!" I didn't mind being like my Pa because he would get mad and then forget it, but she never did. She would come in when I was little and after I had gone to bed she would switch my legs with a willow switch. I couldn't get away from her because I was up against the wall. I didn't feel that was playing fair and she was just plain sneaky and mean.
When I was five Ezra had a baby boy, named Woodrow, who died. He was born in Janauray and got pneumonia. She kept him in the bedroom laid out on a wide windowsill and would sit in the rocker beside him and rock back and forth. The undertaker was in town and in those days they had the viewing in the home. The ground was frozen and they had to wait for a warmer day to bury him.
After Reuben and Ezra were living in Utah, they moved to Albion, Idaho and bought a farm. From Albion they moved to Rupert, Idaho and from Rupert they moved to Burley, Idaho. Reuben bought a farm and big fancy house, with a wrap-around porch from this man. Just when he had the crops planted and everything was going well, a man pulled into the yar and asked where the manager was. He said this was his farm and the fellow had no business selling it. He took over the farm and we had to move to Burley. The man that sold Pa the farm had gone to Canada and couldn't be touched by the law. About the same time, the Depression started, and the banks closed. Reuben lost a lot of money when the banks closed. He had a little house in Burley that we moved to. With all those kids there wasn't much room. I had to walk two miles to school. When it was real cold we didn't have to go to school. Reuben worked in a brickyard in Burley. He had a beautiful set of horses and a wagon that he used to haul bricks form one place to another.
Ray Hogg, whom Agnes married, was a preacher-type. He dressed like he had just stepped out of a band box. Agnes was working at Kings Department Store in Burley at the time. Ray Hogg had a borhter, named June, nicknamed Junior. He was a real rip-snorter. Agnes chose Roy Hogg over his brother. Ray Hogg was sick with asthma the last half of his life. He worked as a plasterer when he was younger. He died in a nursing home. Agnes is still alive.
Rube had a sister named, Caroline, and when I was born Pa was drunk and Ma named me for Hicksey Ann Conger and "Aunt Cad" (Caroline Jolley). She figured that would fix Rube for being drunk when I was born. Then "Aunt Cad" Hamaker and her husband couldn't have children and wanted to adopt me and have me live with them, because Ma was mean to me and didn't like me anyway, but even though she had plenty of children, she refused to let me go there.
Ezra raised turkeys from eggs to the table. I would help her with this. Those old turkeys were not very smart. I didn't mind working on the farm and would help her in most everything. She always asked me because she knew that Rusty would go and hide when something needed to be done. She knew Rusty wouldn't do her best, but I always did. I learned a lot about cooking, cleaning, and farming from that. I also used to help Ma make lye soap in the Spring. I would keep the fire going in the yard for her. Pa would let me ride on the tractor with him because he knew I wouldn't chatter. He was a lot older than Ma, this being his second marriage. Ma had children to raise almost as old as her when she married Pa. I didn't know my step-siblings very well. They were pretty well gone when I was born.
In the early 1960's Ezra lived in Baker, Oregon for awhile. She was living there with John Jay Jolley and one of his many wives, and then she was living just a block from where we had a small grocery store, named Rayborn's Market. She said she lived in the little house behind the big house. She was in pretty good health at that time.
When we lived in the mountains above Portland, Oregon in the 40's and 50's Ezra would come and visit us and stay for a week or two. She always said she could not see why we wanted to live out there where the only other living thing was a wild animal. She stuck a little kitten under her coat one time and took it away because she didn't think it was healthy for girls to have kittens sleeping in bed with them.
At the time were were living in the mountains above Portland, Oregon Lula Mae came to stay and said she wasn't feeling well. She was soon after diagnosed with tuberculosis and put in a sanitarium near Portland. We had to burn the bedding she was sleeping on and everything she touched. We had a big bonfire with the mattress, pillows, sheets, blankets and everything. She lost a lung because of that disease and her health was not completely good after that.
(Source: As told to Sheila Kay Rayborn by Hicksey Caroline (Jolley) Rayborn, 23 Nov 2000)
BIOGRAPHY:
Hicksey Caroline never went by that name. She went by Carol or Caroline. The Hicksey was signified by an H. Later she changed her name to just plain Caroline, and took off the Hicksey. The night that Caroline was born, Reuben James was drunk and Ezra said she would name the baby what she wanted to, because when Rube sobered up it would then be too late. She was named Hicksey for Hicksey Clementine Mitchell and Caroline for Aunt Caddy.Caroline was closer to her dad than she was to her mother. She had a nature like her dads and Ezra used to say, "You are just like your dad." Caroline used to go out into the fields with Rube and follow him around. He would let her go with him when he wouldn't let the others. One time he got her a lipstick and gave it to her and told her don't tell the others. He used to treat her special, when he was sober. When he would come home drunk he would take a whip and beat her across her back, and lock her in a shed. She said it was her own fault, because she would "sass" him and he hated that.
Caroline was a real rebel rouser. She would go to dances, drink bootleg liquor, go out and party until late at night. Her sister, Wanda, and Rusty were worse partiers than her. She used to stay out of trouble quite well. She could talk her way out of any type of trouble. She could convince an eskimo that he needed a refrigerator, if there was something in it for her. She finished her schooling in Burley and then went to Portland to help her sister, Talley, with a new baby. When Talley no longer needed her help, she got a job with Tom and Alice Hayes as a housekeeper and babysitter.
Norman Rayborn, Walt Hayes, and some of the other family were in the yard playing horseshoes the day that Caroline came to the Hayes home for an interview. When Norman saw her walk down the block, he said, "That is the girl that I am going to marry." He married her three weeks later. Norman was 19 at the time they were married in Vancouver, WA. and Caroline was 18. Caroline said Norman had to kick Ethel Jacobus, age 34, out of his apartment before he could bring Caroline there to live. Norman learned life on the streets and grew up without a mother to tame him and polish him. He was a rather rough fellow, but a very good looking one.
Caroline was the one that had the ideas and knew how to follow through. She learned early in the marriage that Norman was used to having a woman to find solutions to his problems. That came from having two older sisters to mother him, and all the women he ever met that felt sorry for the "little orphan" and wanted to mother him. Caroline found out after her children were born that she couldn't count on Norman to see that they had all they needed and during the depression she used to go to the Fire Station in St. Johns and rustle whatever food they would give her, or go over to the welfare dept. and bully them into giving her can milk for her babies. Norman and Walt Hayes used to go out and steal chickens or potatoes or whatever they could find, just so that they would have something to eat. If there were jobs available, the men would go stand in line, but there were usually a hundred men for every job.
Caroline wore three inch high heels until she was in her seventies. The only reason she quit wearing them then, was because of the stroke that made one leg almost useless. She would do her housework every morning, and then in the afternoon she would get all dressed up in a nice crisp cotton housedress and do her hair up and put on her high heels, and be ready for Norman when he came home from work. He was always the most important one in the house when he came home from work. The kids were not to disturb him while he was reading the paper. Then after supper the kids could talk to him or sometimes he would rough house with them, and pretend like he was boxing with them. When Norman wasn't in the house, then her kids were the most important things to her. Her kids knew that they could always come to her with any problem, or to tell her anything and she would listen to them. If they needed a solution to a problem, she was also there to help them with that.
The grandkids loved to come see her when she had the grocery store because she always gave them a big sack of candy to take back home. She was always giving kids candy bars when they had a good report card and for years when the store was over by Brooklyn School, every report card day the kids lined up at the store to get their candy bar, if they had a good report card. If they didn't have a good report card, she would give them a little lecture and give them some penny candy anyway. She called all the kids that came in the store, "Her penny candy kids."
Caroline often said she was so glad to have lived through so many different eras. She lived through the horse and buggy era, the first car era, the astronaut era, the VCR era, the TV era, the telephone era, the train era, the electric car era, and so very many inventions that have made her life either easier or more complicated. The best invention she ever knew of was the telephone, and then there is the TV and the VCR, which she couldn't do without.

Norman Wesley RaybornBIOGRAPHY:
Norman Rayborn was born in Brownsville, Oregon in a square clapboard house. His mother died when Norman was ten years old. She died in the tuberculosis sanitarium in Troutdale, near Portland, Oregon. The family moved to Portland about 1920. They had moved around quite a bit. When Norman was thirteen, he was driving a delivery truck in Portland. He used to deliver bootleg liquor by keeping it in a special empty space under the seat. He worked for the 3C's for a time and ruined his stomach on grapefruit. He said they used to get grapefruit that was as sweet as an orange and they would peel them and eat them one after another. It burned his stomach out and he had stomach troubles the rest of his life. Norman worked at the Portland Woolen Mill for years. He used to drive the jitney (forklift) to pick up the bales of clothes. He brought home a big bag of buttons that kept the kids busy for hours at sorting them and threading them on string. He worked as a mechanic for Windolph Pontiac, before getting a job with Richfield Oil Corp. and moving to Baker, Oregon in 1954. He fixed TV sets in his spare time and one day got a shock that set off a heart attack at the age of 43. After that he bought a grocery store from Mildred Ransom at 1204 Washington Street and named it Rayborn's Market. Then he bought another store at 1303 Elm Street and moved the one store over there and called it Rayborn's Market. They sold the store and retired when he turned 65.Norman liked to fish, take care of the yard, grow roses, watch baseball games (especially the Atlanta Braves), he watched all of the Blazer basketball games. He and Caroline bought some land up in Canada and was going to move there and homestead someday, but they never could find the money to do that, so they gave the land to their nephew, Kelly Snyder, and he sold it.
When Norman was born, James Atlas was 50 years old and Zora May was 40 years old. Norman was the baby of the family. Norman was an amateur boxer when he was in his teens. After he met Caroline he quit boxing. Norman had an 8th grade education. The teacher asked him to leave school because the other students in the class would go to Norman with their math problems, instead of going to the teacher. Norman was a math whiz and he could show them how to do any of the math problems, but it was never the way the teacher had taught it to be done, and the teacher finally told him their wasn't room in the classroom for two teachers. Norman could fix anything mechanical, but he may have parts left over when he got through fixing it, and it usually worked better than before he took it apart.
