Glenn Ivan Higinbotham Sr was a devoted spouse, father, son, brother, and son-in-law.
He worked on Higinbotham Family Farmland, in Jackson County, Oregon. The Higinbotham Family was among the pioneering founding Families in Jackson County, Oregon. And, personally, Glenn drove a farm tracker on Family-owned land like "nobody's business".
Glenn Ivan Higinbotham Sr was born on 13 July 1918 in the town of Derby, Jackson County, Oregon (now a populated historical site, about 17 miles from Central Point, Jackson County, Oregon).
On 7 Jul 1938, in Central Point, Oregon, Glenn married the love of his life. Later he built a home in Central Point, Oregon (address: 4957 Hamrick Road). His bride and wife, Margaret Lucille (nee Scott) Higinbotham (19 Jun 1919 Kansas -- 22 Oct 2001 Oregon,) and he filled that home with six children (3 sons and 3 daughters).
----------
On 16 Oct 1940, Glenn Ivan Higinbotham Sr was married and working on the Sierra Vista Ranch in central California. His residence was in Delano, Kern County, California, when he registered for military service at age 22. His military registration card recorded his vitals as -- Height--5' 11"; Weight--160 lbs.; Complexion--Light; Hair Color--Blonde; Eye Color--Hazel.
----------
In the late 1950's, a long-distance call came from Glenn's father-in-law Laurel Flynn Scott, who was living in Pond, Kern County, California. Laurel was working as a farm manager for some non-resident owners that were in the movie and entertainment industry. Laurel told Glenn that he wanted to relocate from California to where Glenn lived in Oregon. Glenn was married to Laurel Flynn Scott's oldest child, Margaret Lucille (nee Scott) Higinbotham. Margaret was delighted with this news, for it meant she would have her parents living close by in Oregon. Glenn made arrangements to "step down from the farm tracker" in Oregon, and took his sons and large truck, and drove to Pond, California, to help his father-in-law pack. Laurel's spouse "Betty" Mary Elizabeth (nee Bennett) Scott was glad to see her son-in-law Glenn and grandsons. It was a long drive back to Oregon -- in the 1950s -- at less than 55 mph, over curving mountain highways, and took close to 8 hours, with stops to get gasoline, pit stops, and eat.
This move changed many lives in the Scott and Higinbotham extended Familys.
For example--
Laurel worked on the Higinbotham Dairy Farm, and started his mornings with milking all the cows with the simi-automated milking machines, at 4:00am daily. And Laurel's wife and helpmate, "Betty" Mary Elizabeth (nee Bennett) Scott, was up at 3:00 am daily preparing breakfast and coffee for Laurel.
All of Laurel's other children (except for two) relocated to the same area in Oregon.
One of Laurel's sons, James Waddell "Dell" Scott, found employment at one time as a grocery store butcher in Jackson County, Oregon; and lived close by with his wife Helen Mildred (nee Bowers) Scott and kids (2 sons and 2 daughters).
Another of Laurel's sons finished his education and earned a teaching credential for teaching in Oregon. He married and had 1 daughter and 2 sons. Later he was a fishing and tour guide on the Rouge River during summers when school was closed.
Another of Laurel's daughters also relocated to Central Point, Oregon, Dorothy Helen (nee Scott) Tarr, in the 1970s. She had lived in Central Point, Oregon, previously in the early 1950s with her spouse and two daughters. [NOTE: Dorothy Helen is my Mom. (D.H.T.) ]
Thus, lives were changed! The Higinbotham and Scott Extended Family circle was close by in distance and close knit as a Family. Many Family gatherings included -- Holiday Seasons, Birthdays, Weddings, Engagements, Baby Showers, and funerals.
There was also vacationing at The Lake of The Woods. Glenn would drive his big truck, pulling the camping trailer to the Lake. And then, Glenn would return home in his truck immediately in Central Point, Oregon. He had a "date" with his tracker for the next day's work. His bride and wife and kids, left behind at the Lake, proceeded to set up the campsite. So, all was ready for a weekend camping getaway when Glenn came back on Saturday morning.
This was like clockwork in motion! I was there as an observer and a Family participant! [Dorothy Hazel Tarr ( D.H.T. ) ]
