Place of Birth: Los Angeles California Jerome seemed to be your typical teenager, always goofing off and getting in trouble with his brother and friends, always pushing the limits, and always up for pulling a prank. But the thing that stood out most about Jerome wasn\u2019t his willingness to play around, but his kindness. He was sweet and bright, with kind eyes and a big smile. He was also talkative and welcoming and well-liked by pretty much everyone lucky enough to meet him.<\/p>\n Place of Birth: Seattle, Washington Bette was truly a remarkable woman. She was an activist through and through, believed in standing up for the voiceless, and thought that it was the most important priority a human being could have. She took her baby to every demonstration, protest or march she could, and made sure to never miss one. She wanted her child to learn from her that the world could be a better place and that through hard work and believe you are the one that could help that happen. She wanted to be a part of it and was proud every day of the work they were doing.<\/p>\n Genealogical Background<\/strong><\/p>\n Place of Birth: Arkansas Irma married Army private Harvey Gill Jr in November 1929, and it seems they stayed in Arkansas until at least 1953. They had one daughter, Bessie (born in the 1930\u2019s). After that Irma disappears for a bit in the records until 1977, when she shows up in San Francisco with her family after divorcing her husband from all those years ago. Due to how the Temple functioned, it is presumed that she was being moved to Guyana, and he either didn\u2019t approve of the Temple or wasn\u2019t a member. Irma looks like a strong, capable and wonderful woman from her photographs and her story.<\/p>\n What We Don\u2019t Know<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n David Anthony \u201cAnt\u201d Sanders Place of Birth: California![\"\"](\"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jerome-Anderson-1-colorized-.jpg\")
