Notes |
- From the book: The John Jackson and Esther Ann Werts Family History, compiled by Philip W. Allen, 1994
Oliver was the last child of J.J. and Esther Werts. Known to his family as "Bodad", he attended the Russell public schools and went to college at Simpson College in Indianola, IA. He was united in marriage to Grace I. Prather at Russell. He taught school in Lucas County, Iowa for a short time but returned to farming for his career. Except for two years at Osceola, MO, he farmed near Russell until his health failed. Oliver and Grace moved into Russell in 1956. They became very devoted to their Christian faith and instilled the same in their children.
